Supplemental Cash Flow Elements [Abstract] |
Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information and Non-Cash Financing and Investing Activities | Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information and Non-Cash Financing and Investing Activities Our Restricted Cash balance is comprised of funds held in separate premium trust accounts as required by state law or, in some cases, per agreement with our carrier partners. In the second quarter of 2015, certain balances that had previously been reported as held in restricted premium trust accounts were reclassified as non-restricted as they were not restricted by state law or by contractual agreement with a carrier. The resulting impact of this change was a reduction in the balance reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as Restricted Cash and Investments and a corresponding increase in the balance reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents of approximately $33.0 million as of December 31, 2015 as compared to the corresponding account balances as of December 31, 2014 of $32.2 million which was reflected as Restricted Cash. While these referenced funds are not restricted, they do represent premium payments from customers to be paid to insurance carriers and this change in classification should not be viewed as a source of operating cash.
