This fiscal discipline improved operating cash flow, marking a $36.2 million enhancement from last year to ($5.0) million. Under the Lifetime Advisory model, eHealth doubled its cross-selling rate for ancillary products, showcasing progress in member engagement metrics. The liquidity position stays strong, with $101.0 million in cash and equivalents, and commissions receivable of $1.0 billion, reflecting a 10% year-over-year increase.
