The workforce reduction represents an estimated 160 jobs. According to the report, the focus of the cuts is expected to be the eHealth’s customer care, as well well as its enrollment and technology and content groups.

The company said it expects to incur restructuring charges of $3.7 million to $4.7 million, primarily related to employee termination benefits, according to the report.
