agree  Tony M: Yes, it does make sense, it is just a slightly unusual usage of 'follow' with 'to'. It is used with certain kinds of policies where the 'benefit' follows the person as they move to a different provider. Don't see much wrong with ' to transition members'?

  -> Thanks Tony! Yes "transition members" is also unusual. We'd usually say "follow on" when it means continue or staying in place//not "wrong" per se. Just looks a bit strange to my eyes

The word "transition" here is a verb.

This policy is also followed to transition members in the middle of care ...
This policy is also carried out to transition members in the middle of care ...

"to transition" is an infinitive verb. "to" is not part of "followed", but is part of "transition".

It would be easier to understand if you put a comma after "followed":

This policy is also followed, to transition members in the middle of care ...

agree  Cilian O'Tuama: This policy is also adhered to if members switch to a different provider.

  -> Thank you! I also thought of "adhered to", but avoided it because that would be one "to" after another.

Reference: Mercy Care Claim Processing Manual (the context)

Reference information:
Transition of care if you change health plans or providers

The member transition process helps ensure that members don’t have delay in services when they change health plans or providers. This change can be due to:
• Annual enrollment choice.
• Open enrollment.
• Health plan changes permitted by policy, including special healthcare needs program. Such programs can be CRS or a SMI diagnosis.
• Changes to Fee-For-Service programs. Such programs include Tribal ALTCS, TRBHAS and the American Indian Health Plan (AHIP)
• Eligibility changes.
• SMI decertification.
• This policy is also followed to transition members in the middle of care to a different health care provider if a provider leaves Mercy Care’s network.
