These include statements regarding estimated membership and eHealth's guidance for total revenue, stock-based compensation expense, GAAP income tax rate, GAAP net earnings per diluted share and cash flow from operations for the year ending December 31, 2008. These forward-looking statements are inherently subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made, including risks associated with continued acceptance of the Internet as a medium for the purchase of health insurance, eHealth's ability to continue to increase its membership base and expand its relationships with health insurance carriers and marketing partners, the effectiveness of increased marketing spending, retention of eHealth's members, increased rates of member turnover, changes in eHealth's relationships with insurance carriers, system failures or capacity constraints, dependence upon Internet search engines to attract consumers who visit eHealth's website, the performance, reliability and availability of eHealth's ecommerce platform and underlying network infrastructure, the effectiveness of eHealth's marketing and public relations efforts, exposure to online commerce security risks, reliance on marketing partners for the sale of health insurance, competition, protection of intellectual property and intellectual property rights claims, regulatory penalties and negative publicity, changes in the economy, compliance with insurance and other laws and regulations, and changes in laws and regulations. Other factors that could cause operating, financial and other results to differ are described in eHealth's most recent Periodic Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on the investor relations page of eHealth's website at www.ehealthinsurance.com and on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at www.sec.gov. eHealth does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in expectations.

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 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 including the related income tax impact and excluding non-cash benefits for income taxes.

-- 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 and valuation.

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 operating costs similar to the non-GAAP adjustments 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.

Explanation of adjustments
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(1)Non-GAAP results exclude the effect of expensing stock-based
 compensation related to stock options, restricted stock and
 restricted stock units in accordance with SFAS 123R beginning in
 2006, in addition to the amortization of deferred stock-based
 compensation expense in accordance with APB 25 for grants made prior
 to 2006.
(2)In the fourth quarter of 2007, management concluded that it is more
 likely than not that eHealth will realize sufficient future earnings
 to utilize its remaining deferred tax assets. Accordingly, eHealth
 reduced the valuation allowance by $18.9 million against deferred tax
 assets resulting in a tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2007.
 Additionally, non-GAAP results exclude the income tax impact of
 $262,000 from the stock-based compensation expense listed in item (1)
 above.

Explanation of adjustments
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(1)Non-GAAP results exclude the effect of expensing stock-based
 compensation related to stock options, restricted stock and
 restricted stock units in accordance with SFAS 123R beginning in
 2006, in addition to the amortization of deferred stock-based
 compensation expense in accordance with APB 25 for grants made prior
 to 2006.
(2)In the fourth quarter of 2006, management concluded that it was
 more likely than not that eHealth would realize sufficient future
 earnings to utilize a portion of its deferred tax assets.
 Accordingly, eHealth reduced the valuation allowance by $7.4 million
 against deferred tax assets resulting in a tax benefit in the fourth
 quarter of 2006. Additionally, non-GAAP results exclude the income
 tax impact of $2,000 from the stock-based compensation expense listed
 in item (1) above.
