Just so you know… 

Your elected representatives have seen fit to apply certain regulation to Telephone Company providers who also provide SMS messaging services to their business customers.

Over the last several months I have been required on numerous occasions to revise my agency’s website over and over and over again without so much as an apology or explanation as to why my time is being wasted being given dribs and drabs of instruction as to what needs to be done to get my telephone system within compliance of recent TCR regulation having come into place in 2025.  Among these things I have been required to do are:

• Revise language on certain of my webpages multiple times to ensure that I am covering any and every legal circumstance my telephone provider has become responsible for in relation to their providing me SMS messaging.
• Provide opt in language and secure the permissions on my clientele and other business contacts prior to using SMS messaging for communications despite whether or not those communications have been initiated by Abacus or its employees or you
• Provide this language on my website despite being held to a higher degree of authority. Know that the language provided on certain of my webpages has been placed there under duress and with my objection and that in order to have the freedom to send you text messages in a business context this has been required.

Please recognize that despite my having included this language, I am still held to the higher standard established in my becoming a Medicaid provider.  Also understand that at no time will your information be made available to any 3rd parties, without first the pupose of moving your waiver services forward being foremost, second without your knowledge and permission and it being the right thing to do.  Regardless what my phone company insists I put on my website.
