The workers claim Anthem selected high-priced share classes of mutual funds over lower-cost share classes that are “readily available” to plans of this size. The plan allegedly has more than $5.1 billion in assets, according to the report.

The workers also allege Anthem paid excessive fees to the Vanguard entities that service the 401(k) plan.
