00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:00.994
Question 75.

00:00:00.994 --> 00:00:04.172
Did DSS open a preliminary
investigation, and what

00:00:04.172 --> 00:00:06.953
written disposition explains
whether a fuller fraud-or-abuse

00:00:06.953 --> 00:00:07.350
investigation...?

00:00:07.350 --> 00:00:10.527
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

00:00:10.527 --> 00:00:10.925
finding.

00:00:10.925 --> 00:00:11.719
People served:

00:00:11.719 --> 00:00:14.897
People served retain informed choice,
necessary services, accessible

00:00:14.897 --> 00:00:17.280
process, and protection from
coercive administration.

00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:18.074
David Medeiros:

00:00:18.074 --> 00:00:21.252
Fraud-related reporting can trigger
specific statutes, but lawful

00:00:21.252 --> 00:00:24.430
protected activity, knowledge,
causation, and timing must be

00:00:24.430 --> 00:00:24.827
shown.

00:00:24.827 --> 00:00:25.621
ABI Resources:

00:00:25.621 --> 00:00:28.799
ABI may have payment, audit,
contract, or retaliation

00:00:28.799 --> 00:00:29.196
interests;

00:00:29.196 --> 00:00:32.374
financial loss alone is
not a constitutional claim.

00:00:32.374 --> 00:00:34.360
Constitutional claims
need state action;

00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:37.537
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

00:00:37.537 --> 00:00:38.332
a contract.

00:00:38.332 --> 00:00:41.112
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

00:00:41.112 --> 00:00:43.495
Preserve transactions, contracts,
claims, benefits, authorizations,

00:00:43.495 --> 00:00:46.276
medical necessity, recipients,
timing, and funding sources.

00:00:46.276 --> 00:00:49.056
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
