Estimated constrained lifetime value of commission revenue
−Removed: Description of the Matter
−Removed: The Company recognized commission revenue of approximately $466.7 million in 2019 and the related commissions receivable were approximately $589.2 million at December 31, 2019.
−Removed: As described in Notes 1 and 2 to its consolidated financial statements, the Company’s commission revenue is recognized in the amount of the total estimated lifetime value of the commissions expected to be received when a member obtains a plan through the Company and is approved by the carrier (“LTV”).
−Removed: Auditing management’s determination of the LTV of commission revenue was especially complex and highly judgmental due to the complexity of the models used and the subjectivity required by the Company to estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows (which can extend up to 12 years), calculate the amount of commission revenue that is probable of not being reversed (the constraint), and determine the timing and amount of any adjustment revenue that results from changes in the estimates of previously recorded LTV.
−Removed: For the Medicare Advantage LTV, which comprises the substantial majority of commission revenue, the Company utilized statistical tools and methodologies to estimate member attrition, which is a key driver when estimating the amount and timing of future cash flows and can be particularly volatile during the first several years.
−Removed: To determine the constraint to be applied to LTV, the Company evaluates the difference between prior estimates of LTV and actual cash received and applies judgment to determine the constraint to apply.
+Added: Description of the Matter The Company recognized commission revenue of approximately $508.2 million in 2020 and related commissions receivable were approximately $792.4 million at December 31, 2020.
+Added: As described in Notes 1 and 2 to its consolidated financial statements, the Company’s commission revenue is recognized as the amount of the total estimated lifetime value of the commissions expected to be received when a member obtains a plan through the Company and is approved by the carrier (“LTV”).
+Added: Auditing management’s determination of the LTV of commission revenue was especially complex and highly judgmental due to the complexity of the models used and the subjectivity required by the Company to estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows, calculate the amount of commission revenue that is probable of not being reversed, and determine the timing and amount of any adjustment revenue that results from changes in the estimates of previously recorded LTV.
+Added: The Company utilizes statistical tools and methodologies to estimate member attrition, which is a key driver when estimating the amount and timing of future cash flows and can be particularly volatile during the first several years.
+Added: To determine the initial constraint to be applied to LTV, the Company evaluates the difference between prior estimates of LTV and actual cash received and applies judgment to determine the constraint to apply.
For the ongoing evaluation of the constraint, the Company also analyzes whether circumstances have changed and considers any known or potential modifications to the inputs into LTV and the factors that can impact the amount of cash expected to be collected in future periods such as commission rates, carrier mix, estimated average plan duration, changes in laws and regulations, and cancellations of insurance plans offered by health insurance carriers with which the Company has a relationship.
The Company also compares actual versus expected cash collections of previously recorded LTV and assesses qualitative and quantitative factors to determine whether adjustment revenue should be recognized and, if so, the amount and timing of such.
−Removed: How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
−Removed: We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s process to estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows and LTV.
+Added: How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s process to estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows and LTV.
These processes and controls include those covering the models and methods used to calculate LTV, the use of management judgment to determine the constraint applied to LTV, management’s evaluation of any required adjustments to previously recorded LTV estimates, and the completeness and accuracy of the data used in such estimates and calculations.
Our audit procedures also included, among others, evaluating the methodology used and significant assumptions discussed above, and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by the Company.
−Removed: We involved our valuation specialists to assist in our testing of the estimated average plan duration, which includes member attrition assumptions, used to develop the Medicare Advantage LTV, including performing certain corroborative calculations.
+Added: We involved our valuation specialists to assist in our testing of the estimated average plan duration, which includes member attrition assumptions, including performing certain corroborative calculations.
We inspected and compared the results of the Company’s retrospective review analysis of historical estimates for certain plan effective years to historical cash collection experience, including reperforming the calculations and validating the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used.
In addition, we performed inquiries of key personnel regarding their evaluation of changes to LTV, the adjustments made to the constraint for current and expected future economic conditions, and any decisions on the timing and amount of adjustment revenue recognized.
−Removed: We also reviewed analyst reports, press releases, and other relevant third-party and/or industry trends data for contrary evidence.
+Added: We also reviewed analyst reports, press releases, and other relevant third-party and/or industry trends data for contrary evidence including competitor data.

−Removed: Revenue Recognition – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) , requiring an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

−Removed: Payment of commissions typically commences within 60 days from the effective date.
−Removed: Payment terms for non-commission revenue are typically 30 days from the invoice date .
+Added: Revenue Recognition – Our commission revenue consists of commission payments from health insurance carriers whose health insurance policies are purchased through our ecommerce platforms or telephonically via our customer care center, and bonus payments which are generally based on our attaining predetermined target sales levels or other objectives, as determined by the health insurance carriers.
+Added: In addition, we also generate revenue from non-commission sources, which include online sponsorship, advertising, lead referrals, and technology licensing.
We account for revenue under ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The core principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
−Removed: Accordingly, we recognize revenue for our services in accordance with the following five steps outlined in ASC 606:
+Added: Accordingly, we recognize revenue for our services through the application of the following steps:
• Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer.
−Removed: A contract with a customer exists when (i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods or services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance, and (iii) we determine that collection of substantially all consideration for goods or services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration.
• Identification of the performance obligations in the contract.
−Removed: Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the goods or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from us, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
• Determination of the transaction price.
−Removed: The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer.
• Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
−Removed: If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation.
−Removed: Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis.
• Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.
−Removed: We satisfy performance obligations either over time or at a point in time, as discussed in further detail below.
−Removed: Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised good or service to the customer.
−Removed: Commission Revenue — Our commission revenue results from approval of an application from health insurance carriers, which we define as our customers.
+Added: Commission Revenue — Our commission revenue results from approval of an application from health insurance carriers, which we define as our customers under ASC 606.
Our commission revenue is primarily comprised of commissions from health insurance carriers which is computed using the estimated constrained lifetime value of commission payments that we expect to receive.
+Added: We estimate commission revenue for each insurance product by using a portfolio approach to a group of approved members by plan type and the effective month of the relevant plan, which we refer to as “cohorts”.
+Added: We recognize revenue for plans approved during the period by applying the latest estimated constrained lifetime value (“LTV”) for that product.
EHEALTH, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
−Removed: We typically enter into contractual agency relationships with health insurance carriers that are non-exclusive and terminable on short notice by either party for any reason.
−Removed: In addition, health insurance carriers often have the ability to terminate or amend our agreements unilaterally on short notice, including provisions in our agreements relating to the commission rates paid to us by the health insurance carriers.
−Removed: The amendment or termination of an agreement we have with a health insurance carrier may adversely impact the commissions we are paid on health insurance plans purchased from the carrier by means of our health insurance exchange services.
+Added: adjustment revenue for plans approved in prior periods when changes in assumptions for constrained LTV calculations are made and when there is sufficient evidence demonstrating a trend that is different from the estimated constrained LTV at the time of approval resulting in a change in estimate to expected cash collections.
+Added: Net adjustment revenue consists of increases in revenue for certain prior period cohorts as well as reductions in revenue for certain prior period cohorts.
+Added: We recognize positive adjustments to revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.
+Added: We assess the risk of significant revenue reversal based on statistical and qualitative analysis given historical information and current market conditions.
+Added: Our commission revenue for each product line is based on a number of assumptions, which include, but are not limited to, estimating conversion of an approved member to a paying member, forecasting average plan duration and forecasting the commission amounts likely to be received per member.
+Added: These assumptions are based on our analysis of historical trends for the different cohorts and incorporate management’s judgment in interpreting those trends and applying the constraints discussed below.
+Added: For our Medicare commission revenue, which represented 86 %, 87 % and 83 % of our total commission revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the estimated average plan duration, which is the average length of time paying members are active on their plans, used to calculate Medicare health insurance plan LTVs historically has been approximately 3 years for Medicare Advantage plans, approximately 5 years for Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, and approximately 5 years for Medicare Supplement plans.
+Added: While the average plan duration has been approximately 3 years for Medicare Advantage plans, certain members may have a duration of up to approximately 13 years.
+Added: The estimated average plan duration used to calculate the LTV for major medical individual and family health insurance plans historically has been approximately 1.5 to 2 years.
+Added: For short term health insurance plan LTVs, the estimated average plan duration historically has been less than six months .
+Added: For all other ancillary health insurance plan LTVs, the estimated average plan duration has historically varied from 1 to 3 years.
+Added: Constraints are applied to LTV for revenue recognition purposes to help ensure that the total estimated lifetime commissions expected to be collected for an approved member’s plan are recognized as revenue only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with future commissions receivable from the plan is subsequently resolved.
+Added: Significant judgment can be involved in determining the constraint.
+Added: To determine the constraints to be applied to LTV, we compare prior calculations of LTV to actual cash received and review the reasons for any variations.
+Added: We then apply judgment in assessing whether the difference between historical cash collections and LTV is representative of differences that can be expected in future periods.
+Added: We also analyze whether circumstances have changed and consider any known or potential modifications to the inputs into LTV in light of the factors that can impact the amount of cash expected to be collected in future periods, including but not limited to commission rates, carrier mix, plan duration, cancellations of insurance plans offered by health insurance carriers with which we have a relationship, changes in laws and regulations, and changes in the economic environment.
+Added: We evaluate the appropriateness of our constraints on an ongoing basis, and we update our assumptions when we observe a sufficient amount of evidence that would suggest that the long-term expectation underlying the assumptions has changed.
+Added: We re-compute LTVs for all outstanding cohorts on a quarterly basis.
+Added: We continually review and monitor changes in the data used to estimate LTV and compare the cash received for each cohort to our original estimates at the time of approval.
