Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). To supplement eHealth's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, eHealth presents investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margins, non-GAAP pre-tax income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share.

-- Non-GAAP operating income consists of GAAP operating income excluding the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units in accordance with SFAS 123R beginning in 2006 and amortization of deferred stock-based compensation expense in accordance with APB 25 for grants made prior to 2006.

-- Non-GAAP operating margins are calculated by dividing non-GAAP operating income by GAAP total revenue.

-- Non-GAAP pre-tax income consists of GAAP pre-tax income excluding the effects of expensing stock-based compensation.

-- Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income excluding the effects of expensing stock-based compensation adjusted for estimated income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense as well as additional tax expense recorded during the period in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R).

-- Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is calculated by dividing non- GAAP net income by GAAP weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

eHealth believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the company's financial condition and results of operations. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with the company's past financial reports. Management also believes that the exclusion of the items described above provides an additional measure of the company's operating results and facilitates comparisons of the company's core operating performance against prior periods and business model objectives. This information is provided to investors in order to facilitate additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means to evaluate the company's ongoing operations. Externally, the company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures continue to be useful to investors in their assessment of the company's operating performance.

Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margins, non-GAAP pre-tax income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of the company's business and do not reflect all of the income tax as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of eHealth's results as reported under GAAP. The company expects to continue to incur stock-based compensation costs described above, and exclusion of these costs, and their related income tax impact, from non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual or infrequent. The company compensates for these limitations by prominently disclosing GAAP operating income, GAAP pre-tax income, GAAP net income and GAAP net income per diluted share and providing investors with reconciliations from the company's GAAP operating results to the non-GAAP financial measures for the relevant periods.

The accompanying tables provide more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.

Notes:
(1)  Net cash provided by operating activities for the period from the
     condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
(2)  IFP applications submitted on eHealth's website during the period.
     Applications are counted as submitted when the applicant completes
     the application, provides a method for payment and clicks the
     submit button on our website and submits the application to us.
     The applicant generally has additional actions to take before the
     application will be reviewed by the insurance carrier, such as
     providing additional information and providing an electronic
     signature. In addition, an applicant may submit more than one
     application. We include applications for IFP products for which
     we receive commissions as well as other forms of payment. We
     define our "IFP" offerings as major medical individual and family
     health insurance plans, which does not include small business,
     short-term major medical, stand-alone dental, life or student health
     insurance product offerings.
(3)  New IFP members reported to eHealth as approved during the period.
     Some members that are approved by a carrier do not accept the
     approval and therefore do not become paying members.
(4)  New members for all products reported to eHealth as approved during
     the period. Some members that are approved by a carrier do not accept
     the approval and therefore do not become paying members.
(5)  Total revenue (from all sources) recognized during the period from
     the condensed consolidated statements of income.
(6)  Calculated as total revenue recognized during the period (see note
     (5) above) divided by average estimated membership for the period
     (calculated as beginning and ending estimated membership for all
     products for the period, divided by two). Ending membership includes
     an estimated number of members transferred from Health Benefits
     Direct in March of 2009 of approximately 20,000 members for whom
     commission had been reported to eHealth and the criteria for revenue
     recognition had been satisfied with respect to the quarter ended
     March 31, 2009. See our  2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K - Item 7 -
     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
     Results of Operations - Summary of Selected Metrics for additional
