Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and applicable Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, rules and regulations regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, or 2014 Form 10-K.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by U.S. GAAP.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the anticipated results of operations for the entire year ending December 31, 2015 or any future period.

Basis of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly and indirectly owned subsidiaries. We eliminate all intercompany balances and transactions, including intercompany profits, in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to the allocation of the purchase price associated with acquisitions; the carrying value of long-lived assets; the amortization period of long-lived assets; the carrying value, capitalization, and amortization of software and website development costs; the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets; the amortization period of intangible assets; the provision for income taxes and related deferred tax accounts, and realizability of deferred tax assets, certain accrued expenses; incurred but not reported medical claims, contingencies, litigation, and related legal accruals; and the value attributed to employee stock options and other stock-based awards. We base our estimates on historical experience, current business factors, and various other assumptions that we believe are necessary to consider to form a basis for making judgments. Actual results could be materially different from these estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities for one year. Consequently, the guidance provided in ASU 2014-09 will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The guidance permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet selected a transition method.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation, which changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain legal entities. The amendments in the standard affect limited partnerships and similar legal entities, evaluating fees paid to a decision maker or a service provider as a variable interest, the effect of fee arrangements on the primary beneficiary determination, the effect of related parties on the primary beneficiary determination, and certain investment funds. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim fiscal periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. The guidance requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset, with amortization of the costs continuing to be reported as interest expense.  In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, which provides that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and will be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of these ASUs to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Customer's Accounting for Fees paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which provides a basis for evaluating whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a license to internal-use software, then the software license should be accounted for in accordance with Subtopic 350-40. A license to software other than internal-use software should be accounted for in accordance with other applicable U.S. GAAP. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, then the arrangement should be accounted for as a service contract. The guidance is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer to retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination. The guidance requires the acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. Additionally, the guidance requires the acquirer to record the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date in the same period's financial statements. An acquirer is also required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The guidance is effective for public entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We plan to early adopt this guidance and do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
