What is the purpose of a Probe Sample for a CIA Claims Review?
The objective of conducting a Probe Sample as part of the Claims Review is to establish an estimate of the variability of the overpayment amount in the population from which the sample was drawn. The results of the Probe Sample allow the reviewer to estimate how many sampling units need to be reviewed to estimate the overpayment in the population within a 90% confidence and 25% precision level.
