00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,990
Question 65.

2
00:00:00,990 --> 00:00:04,148
How did utilization and outcomes
compare between participants

3
00:00:04,148 --> 00:00:07,307
inside the connected network and
similar participants using...?

4
00:00:07,307 --> 00:00:10,465
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

5
00:00:10,465 --> 00:00:10,860
finding.

6
00:00:10,860 --> 00:00:11,650
People served:

7
00:00:11,650 --> 00:00:14,414
Person-centered planning requires
informed options and conflict

8
00:00:14,414 --> 00:00:14,808
safeguards;

9
00:00:14,808 --> 00:00:17,177
disability law may protect
meaningful participation.

10
00:00:17,177 --> 00:00:17,967
David Medeiros:

11
00:00:17,967 --> 00:00:21,126
Reporting possible conflicts
may be protected under speech

12
00:00:21,126 --> 00:00:24,284
or retaliation rules only
when coverage and proof

13
00:00:24,284 --> 00:00:24,679
align.

14
00:00:24,679 --> 00:00:25,469
ABI Resources:

15
00:00:25,469 --> 00:00:28,627
ABI may challenge unequal
governmental treatment or contract

16
00:00:28,627 --> 00:00:31,786
action, but competition
alone is not a constitutional

17
00:00:31,786 --> 00:00:32,181
violation.

18
00:00:32,181 --> 00:00:34,155
Constitutional claims
need state action;

19
00:00:34,155 --> 00:00:37,313
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

20
00:00:37,313 --> 00:00:38,103
a contract.

21
00:00:38,103 --> 00:00:40,867
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

22
00:00:40,867 --> 00:00:43,236
Preserve ownership, employment,
referrals, alternatives, disclosures,

23
00:00:43,236 --> 00:00:45,605
clinical need, authorizations,
claims, and outcomes.

24
00:00:45,605 --> 00:00:48,368
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
