00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:01.016
Question 63.

00:00:01.016 --> 00:00:04.282
Were conflicts disclosed in
writing to participants, families,

00:00:04.282 --> 00:00:05.915
DSS, and other decision-makers?

00:00:05.915 --> 00:00:09.180
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

00:00:09.180 --> 00:00:09.588
finding.

00:00:09.588 --> 00:00:10.405
People served:

00:00:10.405 --> 00:00:13.262
Person-centered planning requires
informed options and conflict

00:00:13.262 --> 00:00:13.670
safeguards;

00:00:13.670 --> 00:00:16.120
disability law may protect
meaningful participation.

00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:16.936
David Medeiros:

00:00:16.936 --> 00:00:20.201
Reporting possible conflicts
may be protected under speech

00:00:20.201 --> 00:00:23.467
or retaliation rules only
when coverage and proof

00:00:23.467 --> 00:00:23.875
align.

00:00:23.875 --> 00:00:24.692
ABI Resources:

00:00:24.692 --> 00:00:27.957
ABI may challenge unequal
governmental treatment or contract

00:00:27.957 --> 00:00:31.223
action, but competition
alone is not a constitutional

00:00:31.223 --> 00:00:31.631
violation.

00:00:31.631 --> 00:00:33.672
Constitutional claims
need state action;

00:00:33.672 --> 00:00:36.937
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

00:00:36.937 --> 00:00:37.754
a contract.

00:00:37.754 --> 00:00:40.611
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

00:00:40.611 --> 00:00:43.060
Preserve ownership, employment,
referrals, alternatives, disclosures,

00:00:43.060 --> 00:00:45.510
clinical need, authorizations,
claims, and outcomes.

00:00:45.510 --> 00:00:48.367
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
