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.

--  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 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.

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).
(7)  Estimated number of members active on IFP insurance policies as of the
     date indicated. See our  2007 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
     information regarding our calculation of estimated membership.
(8)  Estimated number of members active on all insurance policies as of the
     date indicated. See our  2007 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
     information regarding our calculation of estimated membership.
(9)  Marketing and advertising expenses for the period from the condensed
     consolidated statements of income.
(10) Calculated as marketing and advertising expenses for the period (see
     note (9) above) divided by total revenue for the period (see note (5)
     above).
(11) Non-GAAP marketing and advertising expenses excluding stock-based
     compensation for the period. See Non-GAAP Financial Information above
     and the reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP marketing and advertising
     expenses below.
(12) Calculated as non-GAAP marketing and advertising expenses for the
     period (see note (11) above) divided by total revenue for the period
     (see note (5) above). See Non-GAAP Financial Information above and the
     reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP marketing and advertising expenses
     below.
(13) Percentage of IFP submitted applications from applicants who came
     directly to the eHealth website through algorithmic search engine
     results or otherwise. See note (2) above for further information as to
     what constitutes a submitted application.
(14) Percentage of IFP submitted applications from applicants sourced
     through eHealth's network of marketing partners. See note (2) above
     for further information as to what constitutes a submitted
     application.
(15) Percentage of IFP submitted applications from applicants sourced
     through paid search and other online advertising activities. See note
     (2) above for further information as to what constitutes a submitted
     application.
(16) Calculated as marketing and advertising expenses for the period (see
     note (9) above) divided by the number of individuals on IFP
     applications submitted on eHealth's website during the period. This
     metric may not reflect the true acquisition cost.
(17) Calculated as non-GAAP marketing and advertising expenses for the
     period (see note (11) above) divided by the number of individuals on
     IFP applications submitted on eHealth's website during the period.
     This metric may not reflect the true acquisition cost exclusive of the
     impact of stock-based compensation allocated to marketing and
     advertising expenses.
