The majority of the guidance change results from a much lower number of risk lives available in 2013 for our total population management services to health systems than was forecast in our previous guidance. A smaller but still important impact came from the normal fluctuations in the memberships of our commercial health plan customers, where we experienced a net reduction in lives compared with our expectations."
