Of the 36,295 members that transferred from Integra to Anthem HP, a standard size random sample of 50 members were selected for a case review. The information and/or data received consisted of a Plan of Care from Integra prior to the transition, Plan of Care from Anthem HealthPlus, Care Management notes, and any service request determination or plan action notices sent for the time frame specified.
