Supplemental Cash Flow Elements [Abstract]

Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information and Non-Cash Financing and Investing Activities

Our Restricted Cash balance is composed of funds held in separate premium trust accounts as required by state law or, in some cases, pursuant to agreements 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 is a reduction during the second quarter of 2015 of approximately $41.0 million in the balance reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as Restricted Cash and Investments and a corresponding increase in the balance reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents. While these balances are not restricted, they do represent premium payments from customers to be paid to insurance carriers and this change should not be viewed as a source of operating cash.
