Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Service and Licensing Obligations

We have entered into service and licensing agreements with third-party vendors to provide various services, including network access, equipment maintenance and software licensing. As the benefits of these agreements are experienced uniformly over the applicable contractual periods, we record the related service and licensing expenses on a straight-line basis, although actual cash payment obligations under certain of these agreements fluctuate over the terms of the agreements.

Our future minimum payments under non-cancellable contractual service and licensing obligations as of December 31, 2025 were as follows (in thousands):


Year Ending December 31,
2026	$	10,553
2027	3,152
2028	353
2029	—

Thereafter	—
Total	$	14,058

Operating Leases

Refer to Note 10 – Leases for commitments related to our operating leases.

Self-Insurance

We provide comprehensive major medical benefits to our employees. We maintain a substantial portion of our U.S. employee health insurance benefits on a self-insured basis with up to $0.3 million per individual per year with the maximum claim liability as of December 31, 2025 of $26.0 million. As a result, we record a self-insurance liability based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 we had a self-insurance liability balance of $2.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in the “Accrued compensation and benefits” line in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contingencies

From time to time, we receive inquiries from governmental bodies and also may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We assess contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual in our consolidated financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in the consolidated financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we have not recorded any material litigation-related accruals for loss contingencies associated with legal proceedings or matters or have determined that an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible or estimable. Legal proceedings or other contingencies may be material to our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, even if we ultimately prevail, and we may from time to time enter into settlements to resolve such litigation. Legal costs incurred in connection with the resolution of claims, lawsuits and other contingencies generally are expensed as incurred.

Legal Proceedings

On May 1, 2025, we became aware that the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts unsealed a qui tam action, United States ex rel. Andrew Shea v. eHealth, Inc. et al, against numerous insurance carriers and insurance brokers, including eHealth, Inc. and its subsidiary, eHealthInsurance Services, Inc. The Relator’s lawsuit, originally filed under seal on November 2, 2021, was brought by a former eHealth marketing representative pursuant to the qui tam provision of the Federal False Claims Act. The Relator’s complaint alleges that eHealth, Inc. and eHealthInsurance Services, Inc., along with other insurance carriers and insurance brokers, violated the Federal False Claims Act through certain Medicare Advantage enrollment and marketing activities. The Relator’s complaint seeks, among other things, treble damages, civil penalties and costs. The Court’s May 1, 2025 order also unsealed the government’s notice of election to intervene in part in the qui tam action, as well as the government’s Complaint in Partial Intervention. The government’s Complaint brings similar claims under the Federal False Claims Act against certain defendants named in the Relator’s complaint, including eHealth, Inc. and eHealthInsurance Services, Inc. On July 30, 2025, we jointly filed an unopposed motion to stay the Relator’s claims pending the earlier of the outcome of the government’s investigation or a ruling on the Company’s motion to dismiss. On August 15, 2025, the court granted the motion and stayed the Relator’s claims until January 21, 2026. On August 19, 2025, eHealth jointly filed two motions to dismiss all claims against eHealth, and the court set a hearing date of January 21, 2026. The government filed its oppositions to both motions on October 20, 2025, and eHealth filed its joint replies on December 19, 2025. In the meantime, on December 9, 2025, eHealth filed a motion for leave to depose the Relator regarding certain eHealth privileged documents found to be in the Relator’s possession. The government and Relator each filed an opposition to this motion on December 23, 2025, and eHealth filed a reply brief on December 30, 2025. The court heard oral argument on both the deposition motion and the motions to dismiss on January 21, 2026, and took both matters under submission. The court subsequently extended the stay in the Relator’s case until the resolution of the pending motion to dismiss or May 13, 2026, whichever occurs first.
