1
00:00:00,176 --> 00:00:02,434
Olmstead asks whether people with disabilities

2
00:00:02,434 --> 00:00:05,445
receive services in the most integrated setting appropriate.

3
00:00:05,445 --> 00:00:09,208
Hidden provider information alone does not prove an Olmstead violation.

4
00:00:09,208 --> 00:00:11,091
But missing options, inaccessible planning,

5
00:00:11,091 --> 00:00:13,348
service gaps, or delays can matter

6
00:00:13,348 --> 00:00:16,359
when they create a serious risk of institutionalization.

7
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:18,994
Medicaid person-centered planning should support informed choice,

8
00:00:18,994 --> 00:00:23,134
and the plan should reflect the setting selected by the individual.

9
00:00:23,134 --> 00:00:26,521
Keep the provider list, care plan, assessments, service notices,

10
00:00:26,521 --> 00:00:28,779
waitlist dates, housing terms, and appeals.

11
00:00:28,779 --> 00:00:30,661
Ask: were community services appropriate,

12
00:00:30,661 --> 00:00:32,543
not opposed, and reasonably available?

13
00:00:32,543 --> 00:00:35,930
Then compare the record with the ADA integration mandate.

14
00:00:35,930 --> 00:00:37,812
A risk map organizes questions;

15
00:00:37,812 --> 00:00:40,823
it is not an audit or legal finding.

16
00:00:40,823 --> 00:00:43,081
