00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:00.991
Question 64.

00:00:00.991 --> 00:00:04.157
Did participants retain a
meaningful ability to decline

00:00:04.157 --> 00:00:06.927
the affiliated service without
jeopardizing therapy, housing,

00:00:06.927 --> 00:00:07.322
staffing...?

00:00:07.322 --> 00:00:10.488
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

00:00:10.488 --> 00:00:10.884
finding.

00:00:10.884 --> 00:00:11.675
People served:

00:00:11.675 --> 00:00:14.445
Person-centered planning requires
informed options and conflict

00:00:14.445 --> 00:00:14.841
safeguards;

00:00:14.841 --> 00:00:17.215
disability law may protect
meaningful participation.

00:00:17.215 --> 00:00:18.006
David Medeiros:

00:00:18.006 --> 00:00:21.172
Reporting possible conflicts
may be protected under speech

00:00:21.172 --> 00:00:24.337
or retaliation rules only
when coverage and proof

00:00:24.337 --> 00:00:24.733
align.

00:00:24.733 --> 00:00:25.524
ABI Resources:

00:00:25.524 --> 00:00:28.690
ABI may challenge unequal
governmental treatment or contract

00:00:28.690 --> 00:00:31.855
action, but competition
alone is not a constitutional

00:00:31.855 --> 00:00:32.251
violation.

00:00:32.251 --> 00:00:34.229
Constitutional claims
need state action;

00:00:34.229 --> 00:00:37.395
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

00:00:37.395 --> 00:00:38.186
a contract.

00:00:38.186 --> 00:00:40.956
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

00:00:40.956 --> 00:00:43.330
Preserve ownership, employment,
referrals, alternatives, disclosures,

00:00:43.330 --> 00:00:45.705
clinical need, authorizations,
claims, and outcomes.

00:00:45.705 --> 00:00:48.474
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
