2.       Please tell us and revise to disclose, in your future filings, the
authoritative accounting
         literature the Company is applying in accounting for the performance
guarantees through
         your participation in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services'
(   CMS   ) Global

3.       We note your reference to non-insurance margin contribution. Please
address the
         following:
             Tell us how you use this measure and if you report it in your
filings;
             To the extent that you continue to use it and report it, tell us
and revise your future
              filings to define this measure and confirm whether it is a
non-GAAP measure;
             Tell us how it relates to or compares to your non-insurance gross
profit non-GAAP
              measure; and
             Provide other disclosures required by Item 10(e), including a
reconciliation to the
              most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation, page 6

4.       We note your presentation of the non-GAAP measure "Adjusted EBITDA",
which
         excludes the impact of the premium deficiency reserve (benefit)
expense. Please explain
         to us your basis for excluding the premium deficiency (reserve)
expense. Ensure your
         response addresses your consideration of the following:
             Tell us your consideration of whether this relates to a normal,
recurring, cash
              operating (benefit) expense of the Company;
             Regarding your response to the bullet above, tell us whether the
charges associated
              with this adjustment relate to liabilities that required, or will
require, cash settlement,
              or would have required cash settlement absent an ability to
settle in another manner;
             We note that this adjustment was not included in your definition
of Adjusted
              EBITDA in prior year filings, tell us if there was any change to
your business
              activities and why you believe it is now meaningful to exclude it
from your Adjusted
              EBITDA compared to the prior years; and
             Tell us how you considered whether this represents tailored
accounting, which is
              prohibited by Rule 100(b) of Regulation G, as discussed in
Question 100.04 of the
              Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosures
Interpretations.
Adjusted Operating Expenses Reconciliation, page 7

5.       We note your reconciliation for "Adjusted Operating Expenses"
reconciles to "total
         salaries and benefits plus general and administrative expenses" as the
most directly
         comparable GAAP measure rather than total operating expenses.
Similarly, we note that

         this measure excludes other operating expenses of the Company (e.g.,
net medical claims
         incurred). Please revise the caption of this non-GAAP measure, and any
non-GAAP
         measures related to it, to more appropriately reflect and describe the
nature of the
         expenses that it represents.
       In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are
responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review,
comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.

       You may contact Marc Thomas at (202)551-3452 or Robert Klein at

any questions.
