For the Health Plans segment, gross goodwill amounted to $445 million, and accumulated impairment losses amounted to $302 million, at each of December 31, 2019, and 2018.

2017 Impairment Losses. As a result of reporting unit quantitative goodwill assessments using discounted cash flows and/or asset liquidation analyses, we recorded goodwill impairment losses of $244 million and $190 million for the Health Plans segment and Other segment, respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2017. The Health Plans segment impairment losses were due primarily to certain health plans’ Medicaid contract terminations, and insufficient estimated future cash flows. The Other segment impairment losses were due to the expectation of fewer future benefits, and related lower cash flows, to be derived from certain subsidiaries. Such subsidiaries were disposed in 2018.
