1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,523
What began in acquired brain-injury
services became a broader question.

2
00:00:04,823 --> 00:00:09,708
David reports that recurring administrative
problems affected people served

3
00:00:09,808 --> 00:00:12,027
and ABI Resources.

4
00:00:12,327 --> 00:00:17,233
He then asked whether shared Medicaid
systems could place other populations at

5
00:00:17,333 --> 00:00:18,187
risk.

6
00:00:18,487 --> 00:00:20,641
Medicaid serves children,

7
00:00:20,741 --> 00:00:22,149
older adults,

8
00:00:22,249 --> 00:00:24,084
low-income adults,

9
00:00:24,184 --> 00:00:27,085
and people with many kinds of
disabilities.

10
00:00:27,385 --> 00:00:29,903
That broad program reach matters.

11
00:00:30,203 --> 00:00:34,213
It does not prove that the same
conduct harmed every group or

12
00:00:34,313 --> 00:00:35,700
every state.

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,755
Each person’s case still depends on
the exact program,

14
00:00:39,855 --> 00:00:40,943
decision,

15
00:00:41,043 --> 00:00:41,960
notice,

16
00:00:42,060 --> 00:00:43,447
service plan,

17
00:00:43,547 --> 00:00:44,677
and record.

18
00:00:44,977 --> 00:00:48,817
Federal safeguards may include
accessible communication,

19
00:00:48,917 --> 00:00:50,816
nondiscrimination,

20
00:00:50,916 --> 00:00:52,985
person-centered planning,

21
00:00:53,085 --> 00:00:55,731
provider choice within legal limits,

22
00:00:55,831 --> 00:00:57,623
and a fair hearing.

23
00:00:57,923 --> 00:01:00,269
Start with the specific person,

24
00:01:00,369 --> 00:01:02,524
not a universal claim.

25
00:01:02,824 --> 00:01:05,576
Identify the program and decision.

26
00:01:05,876 --> 00:01:08,287
Preserve the notice and plan.

27
00:01:08,587 --> 00:01:13,515
