00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,994
Question 75.

2
00:00:00,994 --> 00:00:04,172
Did DSS open a preliminary
investigation, and what

3
00:00:04,172 --> 00:00:06,953
written disposition explains
whether a fuller fraud-or-abuse

4
00:00:06,953 --> 00:00:07,350
investigation...?

5
00:00:07,350 --> 00:00:10,527
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

6
00:00:10,527 --> 00:00:10,925
finding.

7
00:00:10,925 --> 00:00:11,719
People served:

8
00:00:11,719 --> 00:00:14,897
People served retain informed choice,
necessary services, accessible

9
00:00:14,897 --> 00:00:17,280
process, and protection from
coercive administration.

10
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:18,074
David Medeiros:

11
00:00:18,074 --> 00:00:21,252
Fraud-related reporting can trigger
specific statutes, but lawful

12
00:00:21,252 --> 00:00:24,430
protected activity, knowledge,
causation, and timing must be

13
00:00:24,430 --> 00:00:24,827
shown.

14
00:00:24,827 --> 00:00:25,621
ABI Resources:

15
00:00:25,621 --> 00:00:28,799
ABI may have payment, audit,
contract, or retaliation

16
00:00:28,799 --> 00:00:29,196
interests;

17
00:00:29,196 --> 00:00:32,374
financial loss alone is
not a constitutional claim.

18
00:00:32,374 --> 00:00:34,360
Constitutional claims
need state action;

19
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,537
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

20
00:00:37,537 --> 00:00:38,332
a contract.

21
00:00:38,332 --> 00:00:41,112
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

22
00:00:41,112 --> 00:00:43,495
Preserve transactions, contracts,
claims, benefits, authorizations,

23
00:00:43,495 --> 00:00:46,276
medical necessity, recipients,
timing, and funding sources.

24
00:00:46,276 --> 00:00:49,056
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
