1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,983
Question 70.

2
00:00:00,983 --> 00:00:04,115
Did payments or benefits
occur shortly before or

3
00:00:04,115 --> 00:00:07,248
after referrals, provider changes,
service increases, or housing...?

4
00:00:07,248 --> 00:00:10,380
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

5
00:00:10,380 --> 00:00:10,772
finding.

6
00:00:10,772 --> 00:00:11,555
People served:

7
00:00:11,555 --> 00:00:14,687
People served retain informed choice,
necessary services, accessible

8
00:00:14,687 --> 00:00:17,037
process, and protection from
coercive administration.

9
00:00:17,037 --> 00:00:17,820
David Medeiros:

10
00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:20,952
Fraud-related reporting can trigger
specific statutes, but lawful

11
00:00:20,952 --> 00:00:24,085
protected activity, knowledge,
causation, and timing must be

12
00:00:24,085 --> 00:00:24,476
shown.

13
00:00:24,476 --> 00:00:25,259
ABI Resources:

14
00:00:25,259 --> 00:00:28,392
ABI may have payment, audit,
contract, or retaliation

15
00:00:28,392 --> 00:00:28,783
interests;

16
00:00:28,783 --> 00:00:31,916
financial loss alone is
not a constitutional claim.

17
00:00:31,916 --> 00:00:33,873
Constitutional claims
need state action;

18
00:00:33,873 --> 00:00:37,006
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

19
00:00:37,006 --> 00:00:37,789
a contract.

20
00:00:37,789 --> 00:00:40,530
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

21
00:00:40,530 --> 00:00:42,879
Preserve transactions, contracts,
claims, benefits, authorizations,

22
00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:45,620
medical necessity, recipients,
timing, and funding sources.

23
00:00:45,620 --> 00:00:48,361
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
