eHealth, Inc. advertises itself as America's first and largest private online marketplace for health insurance, with the company inception in 1997.
The company's website, which is eHealth.com (formerly eHealthInsurance.com), details prices for various health insurance plans and allows consumers to apply for coverage online. The pricing is fixed by law and consumers cannot get lower prices elsewhere.
eHealth maintains its license to market and sell health insurance in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, with agents licensed in all states and D.C.. eHealth also offers a wide variety of health plans from over 180 health insurance companies and offers more than 10,000 health insurance products.
eHealth, Inc. was founded in 1997, and its technology was responsible for the nation's first Internet-based sale of a health insurance policy. eHealth, Inc. is headquartered in Mountain View, California.
In 2013 eHealth, along with other "web brokers", signed deals with Healthcare.gov to enroll subsidy-eligible consumers in the newly approved health plans offered through the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)
In 2016, eHealth announced that it had insured 5 million people.
Also in 2016, eHealth's Board of Directors appointed Scott Flanders, a director of the Company since 2008, to the role of Chief Executive Officer and appointed the Honorable Ellen Tauscher, a director of the Company since 2012, to the role of Independent Non-Executive Board Chair. Former CEO, Gary Lauer transitioned out as Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of the Board, but continued on in an advisory role through the end of 2016.
