In 2010, Magellan Health Services completed a 
successful year with strong financial performance  
and solid business growth. Operating in a dynamic  
and highly competitive environment, we focused 
on developing innovative approaches to clinical  
quality management and cost effectiveness that 
solidified our market-leading position while  
providing excellent service to customers and 
consumers. At the heart of our success, though, 
were the efforts and dedication of Magellan’s 
5,000 employees, and you’ll see some of their 
excellent work featured in this report. We repre-
sent many things to the people entrusted to our 
care – clinical excellence, operational efficiency, 
product innovator, trusted partner, community  
of caring, and technology expert – but it’s our 
employees who bring it all together. They 
are Magellan.

Our strategy of seeking growth and stability 

through business diversification continued, as 
Magellan solidified its standing as the premier 
specialty health care services company across  
our business lines – behavioral health, radiology 
benefits, and specialty pharmaceutical manage-
ment and Medicaid administration. The breadth 
of our offerings and our significant experience 
creating solutions makes us unique. We have a 
strong position in behavioral health, where we 
provide services to approximately 10 percent 
of the U.S. population. But, in 2010, more than 
a third of our segment profit came from areas 
outside of behavioral health, a significant change 
from just a few years ago.  

The main drivers of our performance in 2010 

were superior care management results, and  
the sales and implementation of new business 
across each of our segments. We also positioned 
the company for success in 2011 by bringing to 
market new and innovative products and services 
that meet the challenges our customers face,  
such as addressing patient safety and cost in 
radiation oncology and cardiac care, bringing  

 
clinical rationale to the high utilization of obstetrical  
ultrasounds in the Medicaid population, and  
helping customers deal with the explosive costs 
of specialty pharmaceuticals. We’re also proud  
of the way we touched people by creating peer  
specialist support and crisis intervention programs  
for our behavioral health customers, and, in  
particular, those with serious mental illness who 
are the most vulnerable. 

With revenue of nearly $3 billion, strong earn-

ings per share growth, and the implementation 
of our third share repurchase program, Magellan 
demonstrated its commitment to maximizing 
shareholder value while ensuring that we have 
the capital to continue to invest in our business  
to fuel innovation and growth. 

We are constantly evaluating the rapidly 
changing health care marketplace because we 
know that future success will be based on our 
agility in anticipating and responding to customer  
needs, and our ability to apply experience and 
technology to create solutions. 

 It’s clear from speaking with current and 
potential customers, government officials and 
stakeholders that providing affordable health care 
continues to be a significant challenge. A year  
has elapsed since health care reform became 
law, and it remains to be seen whether our 
country has found a paradigm that offers greater 
access to care for the broadest number of people 
while moderating costs for states, commercial 
payors and consumers.  

 Magellan will help our customers address 
some of the biggest changes that will occur in 
health care during the next few years. Medicaid, 
for example, is an increasingly important part of 
our health care delivery system. According to the 
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 
Medicaid enrollment is projected to increase 
from 52.9 million in 2010 to 78 million people  
in 2019, with expenditures growing from $400 
billion to more than $840 billion. Medicaid is at 

the center of state health policy, and fills a range 
of needs in areas where Magellan has demon-
strated strength, like providing mental health and 
substance abuse services. One of our key  
initiatives will be supporting states as they work 
to understand the needs of those with severe 
mental illness (SMI) within Medicaid. It’s a  
national tragedy that individuals with SMI served 
by our public mental health system die 25 years 
earlier, on average, than the general population 
largely due to treatable conditions. 

Another challenge to the health care system is 
the explosive growth in specialty pharmaceutical 
costs. We have robust product offerings in place 
that have helped our customers achieve impres-
sive results, and a Medicaid Administration unit 
that provides pharmacy benefits administration  
in half of the states, processing more than  
140 million pharmacy claims a year. These are 
important assets that can have broad applications 
in bending the cost curve. 

Over three decades, Magellan has evolved 
from a collection of regional behavioral health 
companies to a broad-based specialty health  
care services company serving customers and 
consumers nationally. We’ve built a foundation 
for sustained profitable growth by proving that 
high-quality, specialized and affordable care are 
not mutually exclusive ideas. We have a vision  
for the future, a strategy for success and see 
ample opportunities to expand our product  
offerings and customer base. 

Thank you for your continued confidence.

Innovation means being able to spot trends,  

see the challenges  that lie ahead, and find 

better ways to produce superior results and 

stay ahead of the curve. Magellan consistently  

has an eye toward the future, following 

specialty health care trends, consulting with 

our clinical advisory boards and anticipating 

new customer needs in order to develop and 

implement programs that fill a marketplace 

gap and improve clinical effectiveness. 

What is on our radar? Our latest innovations  

span a variety of disciplines: radiation oncology,  

obstetrical ultrasound management, substance  

use disorder programs, and peer-assisted 

support initiatives, among many others.

As another example, specialty drugs 

represent some of the most rapidly increasing 

health care costs today: by 2012, 11 of the  

top 16 drugs on the market will be specialty 

injectables. Not only can they be costly, they  

are often administered by injection or  

infusion and are covered through a complex  

mechanism of benefits crossing both the 

medical and pharmacy benefit. Magellan 

is tackling the issue head-on with ICORE’s

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

PART I

This Form 10-K includes ‘‘forward-looking statements’’ within  the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the  ‘‘Securities Act’’), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘Exchange  Act’’). Examples of forward-looking  statements  include, but
are not limited to, statements the Company makes regarding  our future  operating results  and liquidity
needs. Although the Company (as defined  below) believes that its plans, intentions  and expectations
reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable,  it can give no assurance that such plans,
intentions or expectations will be achieved. Prospective  investors  are cautioned that any such forward-
looking statements are not guarantees of future  performance and involve risks and uncertainties,  and
that actual results  may differ materially from  those contemplated by such  forward-looking statements.
Important factors currently known to management that could cause actual  results to differ materially
from those in forward-looking statements  are set forth  under the heading  ‘‘Risk Factors’’ in  Item 1A
and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. When used in this Form 10-K, the words ‘‘estimate,’’  ‘‘anticipate,’’
‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘should’’ and similar  expressions are intended to be forward- looking statements.

Any forward-looking statement made  by  the Company in this Form 10-K speaks only as  of  the
date  on which it is made. Factors or  events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge
from time to time, and it is not possible for the  Company to predict all of them. The Company
undertakes no obligation to publicly update  any forward-looking statement, whether as a  result of new
information, future developments or otherwise,  except as  may be required  by  law.

You should also be aware that while  the Company from time  to  time  communicates with securities
analysts, the Company does not disclose to them any material non-public  information, internal forecasts
or other  confidential business information. Therefore, to the extent  that reports issued by securities
analysts contain projections, forecasts or opinions, those reports  are  not the Company’s responsibility
and are not endorsed by the Company. You should  not assume that  the Company  agrees  with any
statement or report issued by any analyst,  irrespective of the  content of the statement or  report.

Item 1. Business

Magellan Health Services, Inc. (‘‘Magellan’’) was incorporated in 1969 under the laws of the  State

of Delaware. Magellan’s executive offices  are located at 55 Nod Road, Avon,  Connecticut 06001,  and
its  telephone number at that location is  (860)  507-1900. Reference in this report  to  the ‘‘Company’’
include the accounts of Magellan, its  majority owned subsidiaries, and all  variable interest entities
(‘‘VIEs’’) for  which Magellan is the primary beneficiary.

Business Overview

The Company is engaged in the specialty managed healthcare business. Through 2005, the

Company predominantly operated in  the managed  behavioral healthcare business. As a result of certain
aquisitions, the Company expanded into radiology benefits  management and specialty pharmaceutical
management during 2006, and into Medicaid administration  during  2009. The Company  provides
services to health plans, insurance companies, employers, labor unions and  various governmental
agencies. The Company’s business is divided into the following six segments, based on  the services it
provides and/or the customers that it  serves, as described below.

Managed Behavioral Healthcare

Two of the Company’s segments are in  the managed  behavioral healthcare business. This line of
business generally reflects the Company’s  coordination  and management of the delivery of behavioral
healthcare treatment services that are provided through its contracted network  of  third-party treatment

1

providers, which includes psychiatrists,  psychologists, other behavioral health professionals, psychiatric
hospitals, general medical facilities with psychiatric  beds, residential  treatment centers and other
treatment facilities. The treatment services provided through the Company’s provider network include
outpatient programs (such as counseling or  therapy), intermediate care programs (such as  intensive
outpatient programs and partial hospitalization  services),  inpatient  treatment and crisis  intervention
services. The Company generally does not directly provide, or own any provider of, treatment  services
except as related to the Company’s contract to provide managed behavioral healthcare services to
Medicaid recipients and other beneficiaries  of the Maricopa County  Regional  Behavioral Health
Authority (the ‘‘Maricopa Contract’’).  Under the Maricopa Contract, effective August 31, 2007 the
Company was required to assume the  operations of twenty-four behavioral health direct care facilities
for a transitional period and to divest  itself of  these facilities over a two year period.  All of the direct
care facilities were divested as of December 31, 2009.

The Company provides its management services primarily through: (i) risk-based products, where

the Company assumes all or a substantial portion of  the responsibility for the cost  of providing
treatment services in exchange for a fixed per member per  month fee, (ii) administrative services only
(‘‘ASO’’) products, where the Company provides services  such as utilization review, claims
administration and/or provider network management, but does not assume responsibility for  the cost of
the treatment services, and (iii) employee  assistance programs  (‘‘EAPs’’) where the Company provides
short-term outpatient behavioral counseling services.

The managed behavioral healthcare business is managed based on the services  provided and/or the

customers served,  through the following  two segments:

Commercial. The Managed Behavioral Healthcare  Commercial  segment (‘‘Commercial’’)
generally reflects managed behavioral healthcare services  and  EAP  services provided  under contracts
with health plans and insurance companies for  some or  all of their  commercial, Medicaid and Medicare
members, as well as with employers,  including corporations, governmental agencies, and  labor  unions.
Commercial’s contracts encompass risk-based, ASO and  EAP arrangements.  As of December 31, 2010,
Commercial’s covered lives were 4.7 million,  19.8 million and 12.5 million for  risk-based, ASO  and
EAP products, respectively. For the year  ended December 31, 2010, Commercial’s revenue  was
$433.9 million, $123.5 million and $94.8 million for risk-based,  ASO  and EAP products,  respectively.

Public Sector. The Managed Behavioral Healthcare  Public Sector segment (‘‘Public  Sector’’)
generally  reflects services provided to recipients  under Medicaid and  other state  sponsored programs
under contracts with state and local governmental  agencies. Public Sector contracts encompass either
risk-based or ASO arrangements. As of  December 31, 2010, Public  Sector’s covered lives were
1.6 million and 0.3 million for risk-based and ASO products, respectively. For the year ended
December 31, 2010, Public Sector’s revenue  was  $1.4 billion and $5.6 million for  risk-based and ASO
products, respectively.

Radiology Benefits Management

The Radiology Benefits Management  segment  (‘‘Radiology Benefits Management’’) generally
reflects the management of the delivery  of  diagnostic imaging services  to  ensure that such services are
clinically appropriate and cost effective. The Company’s radiology benefits management services
currently are provided under contracts with health plans and  insurance companies  for some or all of
their commercial, Medicaid and Medicare  members. The Company also contracts  with state  and local
governmental agencies for the provision of such services to Medicaid  recipients. The Company  offers its
radiology benefits management services  through risk-based contracts,  where  the Company assumes  all
or a substantial portion of the responsibility for  the cost  of providing  diagnostic  imaging services, and
through  ASO contracts, where the Company provides services such  as utilization review  and claims
administration, but does not assume responsibility  for the cost of the imaging services. As  of

2

December 31, 2010, covered lives for  Radiology Benefits Management were 5.0 million  and 14.7 million
for risk-based and ASO products, respectively. For the year ended  December 31, 2010,  revenue for
Radiology Benefits Management was $403.5 million and  $50.6 million for risk-based and ASO products,
respectively.

Specialty Pharmaceutical Management

The Specialty Pharmaceutical Management  segment (‘‘Specialty  Pharmaceutical  Management’’)

comprises programs that manage specialty drugs  used  in the treatment of complex conditions  such as,
cancer, multiple sclerosis, hemophilia,  infertility,  rheumatoid  arthritis, chronic forms of hepatitis  and
other diseases. Specialty pharmaceutical drugs  represent  high-cost  injectible, infused,  oral,  or inhaled
drugs with sensitive handling or storage needs, many of which may be physician administered. Patients
receiving these drugs require greater amounts of clinical support than those  taking more traditional
agents. Payors require clinical, financial  and technological support to maximize the value delivered to
their members using these expensive agents. The Company’s specialty pharmaceutical management
services are provided under contracts with health plans,  insurance companies, and  governmental
agencies for some or all of their commercial, Medicare  and Medicaid members. The Company’s
specialty pharmaceutical services include:  (i) contracting and  formulary optimization programs;
(ii) specialty pharmaceutical dispensing  operations; (iii) strategic consulting services;  and (iv) medical
pharmacy management programs. The Company’s Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment had
contracts with 43 health plans and several  pharmaceutical manufacturers and state Medicaid programs
as of  December 31, 2010.

Medicaid Administration

The Medicaid Administration segment  (‘‘Medicaid  Administration’’) generally reflects  integrated

clinical management services provided to the public sector to manage Medicaid pharmacy,  mental
health and long-term care programs. The  primary  focus of the Company’s Medicaid Administration  unit
involves providing pharmacy benefits  administration  (‘‘PBA’’) services under contracts with  states to
Medicaid and other state sponsored  program recipients. Medicaid Administration’s contracts encompass
Fee-For-Service (‘‘FFS’’) arrangements. In  addition to Medicaid  Administration’s  FFS  contracts,
effective September 1, 2010, Public Sector has  subcontracted with  Medicaid Administration to provide
pharmacy benefits management services on a limited risk basis for one of Public Sector’s customers.

Corporate

This segment of the Company is comprised  primarily of operational support  functions such as sales

and marketing and information technology, as well as corporate  support functions  such as executive,
finance, human resources and legal.

See Note 11—‘‘Business Segment Information’’ to the consolidated financial statements for certain

segment financial data relating to our business set  forth elsewhere  herein.

Acquisition of ICORE Healthcare, LLC

On July 31, 2006, the Company acquired all of the  outstanding units of  membership interest of

ICORE Healthcare, LLC (‘‘ICORE’’), a  specialty pharmaceutical management  company, and  ICORE
became a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company  reports the results of operations of ICORE  in the
Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment.

The  Company  paid  or  agreed  to  pay  to  the  previous  unitholders  of  ICORE,  (i)  $161  million  of

cash at closing; (ii) $24 million of cash that  was  used  by the unitholders of ICORE to purchase
Magellan restricted stock with such restricted stock recorded as  stock compensation expense  over a
three year vesting period, provided the unitholders did not earlier terminate their employment  with

3

Magellan; (iii) $25 million plus accrued interest (the ‘‘Deferred Payment’’), subject  to  any indemnity
claims  Magellan  may  have  had  under  the  purchase  agreement;  and  (iv)  the  amount  of  positive  working
capital  that  existed  at  ICORE  on  the  closing  date  which  was  $18.2  million.

Acquisition of First Health Services

Pursuant to the June 4, 2009 Purchase Agreement (the ‘‘Purchase Agreement’’) with Coventry

Health Care (‘‘Coventry’’), on July 31,  2009 the Company  acquired (the  ‘‘Acquisition’’)  all  of the
outstanding equity interests of Coventry’s direct and indirect subsidiaries  First Health  Services
Corporation (‘‘FHS’’), FHC, Inc. (‘‘FHC’’) and  Provider Synergies, LLC (together  with FHS and FHC,
‘‘First  Health Services’’) and certain assets of Coventry which  are related  to the operation of the
business conducted by First Health Services.  As consideration  for the  Acquisition, the  Company paid
$115.4 million in cash, excluding cash  acquired and including  a payment  of  $7.4 million for  excess
working capital with such amount being subject to final adjustments as provided in  the Purchase
Agreement.  The  Company  is  in  negotiations  with  Coventry  on  settlement  of  the  working  capital
adjustment, and anticipates a return  of  $0.9 million. The Company  funded the Acquisition with  cash on
hand.

Effective July 1, 2010 the Company discontinued the use of the name  First Health  Services
Corporation and officially changed such  name to ‘‘Magellan Medicaid  Administration, Inc.’’ The
Company reports the results of operations  of  Magellan Medicaid Administration, Inc. within  the
Medicaid Administration segment.

Industry

According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid  Services (‘‘CMS’’), U.S.  healthcare spending
was projected to have increased 3.9 percent  to  $2.6 trillion  in 2010, representing more  than 17  percent
of the gross domestic product. With the  uncertain  economic environment, rising healthcare costs,
increased fiscal pressures on federal  and  state governments, implementation of healthcare  reform,
healthcare spending will continue to be  one  of the greatest pressing issues for  the American public and
the government agencies. The rapidly  evolving clinical  and technological environment demands  the
expertise of specialized healthcare management  services  to  provide both high-quality and affordable
care.

Through 2005, the Company predominantly operated in the managed  behavioral  healthcare
industry. Since 2005, the Company has diversified into the areas of radiology benefits management,
specialty pharmaceutical management, and Medicaid administration. The Company has transformed
itself into a diversified specialty managed healthcare  company  by entering various  healthcare cost  and
care management areas that represent a meaningful portion  of  the healthcare  dollar and that are
growing at a disproportionately higher rate  than other areas of healthcare. The Company  defines areas
of healthcare that can be carved out  for specialty healthcare management to be areas where:

(cid:127) The management and cost of care are separable  from other areas of healthcare management;

(cid:127) The Company can provide value to its customers  resulting from  managing care beyond what

such customers can achieve on their  own;  and

(cid:127) The value that the Company provides  to  its  customers is measurable.

Business  Strategy

The Company is engaged in the specialty managed healthcare business. It currently provides

managed behavioral healthcare services,  radiology benefit  management services, specialty
pharmaceutical management services,  and Medicaid administration. The Company’s  strategy is to
expand its participation in the healthcare management services market through  the expansion  of its

4

existing businesses and diversification  into  new specialties  and services. The Company believes that its
clients  would prefer to consolidate outsourced vendors and that as a vendor  offering multiple
outsourced products, it will have a competitive advantage  in the market. The Company seeks to grow
its  specialty managed healthcare business through the following initiatives:

Expanding the managed behavioral healthcare business. The Company has operated in both the
commercial and public sectors of managed behavioral healthcare by  ensuring the delivery of quality
outcomes and appropriate care through its  unique behavioral healthcare expertise in managing clinical
care, provider networks, claims, and customer  service.  The Company  focuses on continually developing
and providing innovative and cost effective solutions to its customers. Through its commercial
behavioral segment, the Company seeks  to provide a  superior outsourced alternative  to  its  health  plan
and employer customers. The Company has expanded  its product offerings in response to legislative
changes affecting autism. Through its  Public Sector segment, the Company  seeks to help state and  local
governments deal with their fiscal pressures resulting from increasing Medicaid enrollment and rising
healthcare costs. The Company intends to continue  marketing  both its risk-based and ASO  products, as
well as new products, to its existing customer base and new  customers, and to cross-sell its behavioral
product  portfolio to its other specialty segments’ customer base.

Expanding the radiology benefits management services  business. As relates to radiology benefits

management, the Company’s strategy  is to deliver innovative and  clinically  appropriate  radiology
management programs that create value  for  its clients through the  reduction in  the number  of
inappropriate radiology services and ensure  the delivery of appropriate  services  through quality
providers. The Company seeks to distinguish  itself in  the marketplace through a  focus on clinical
excellence,  provider  partnerships,  product  and  service  innovation,  and  consumerism.  The  Company
continues to expand its product portfolio  with customer-focused  solutions  in radiation oncology  therapy
management, cardiac management, and  obstetrical ultrasound management. In addition to selling its
programs to new customers, the Company’s growth strategy is also focused on continuing to develop
innovative new products and to expand  membership with current customers, upsell  additional products
to existing customers, and cross-sell to its other specialty segments’  customer base.

Expanding the specialty pharmaceutical  management business. The Company has continued to focus

on the expansion of its unique service  model  of  providing  contracting and formulary optimization
services,  specialty  pharmaceutical  dispensing  services,  and  strategic  solutions  consulting.  The  Company
utilizes its operational platform, software  development, and claims processing expertise  to  develop
specialty pharmaceutical management products that drive  savings for its customers. The Company
expanded its product portfolio in 2009  to  include a medical pharmacy  management product, which
manages the cost and quality of therapeutic inventions in conditions such  as oncology and  autoimmune
diseases  regardless of whether the drugs are paid under the medical or pharmacy benefit. The  company
intends to to  market the medical pharmacy management product to both  existing and new  health  plan
and Medicaid customers. The Company continues  to  cross-sell  to  its other specialty segments’ customer
base.

Expanding the Medicaid administration business. The Company believes it can leverage its

operational platform and expertise to expand and  enhance its Medicaid administration service offerings
to help government clients manage their health  care spending. In 2010,  the Company developed
additional  capabilities  to  enable  it  to  compete  as  a  limited  risk-bearing  pharmacy  benefits  manager
supporting  Medicaid  managed  care  organizations.  The  Company  intends  to  cross-sell  Medicaid
administration services to its other specialty segments’ customer base, expand the current scope of
services under its existing customer contracts by up-selling its broader pharmacy benefits management
capabilities, and market its pharmacy benefits management services to both state health plan sponsors
and Medicaid managed care organizations.

5

Expanding product penetration in new  or growing markets. The Company seeks to expand its
existing products and services in new and/or growing  markets. In  particular, the Medicaid market has
grown significantly in recent years as  a result of  economic conditions,  and is  expected to materially
expand in 2014 and beyond as a result of  the Patient Protection and  Affordable Care Act (‘‘PPACA’’).
As governments face increasing fiscal challenges,  the Company believes that there may be opportunities
to help state and local governments manage their healthcare  costs though the use  of its  specialty
managed healthcare services. With Medicaid experience in  managed behavioral healthcare,  radiology
benefits management, specialty pharmaceutical management, and Medicaid administration, the
Company believes it is positioned to grow  its  membership and  revenues in the Medicaid  market over
the long term as a result of its proven expertise  in managing  these services.

Continued selective diversification of business lines. The Company actively evaluates opportunities

to enter other significant, high trend specialty healthcare businesses  that would leverage  its  expertise
and core competencies and/or that could draw  on its existing  customer relationships.

Customer Contracts

The Company’s contracts with customers  typically have terms of  one to three years, and in certain

cases contain renewal provisions (at the customer’s option) for successive terms of  between  one and
two years (unless terminated earlier).  Substantially all of these contracts  may be immediately
terminated with cause and many of the Company’s contracts are terminable without  cause  by  the
customer or the Company either upon  the giving of requisite notice and the passage of  a specified
period of time (typically between 60  and 180  days)  or upon  the occurrence  of other specified events.  In
addition, the Company’s contracts with  federal,  state and local  governmental agencies generally are
conditioned on legislative appropriations. These contracts generally can be terminated  or modified by
the customer if such appropriations are  not  made. The Company’s contracts for  managed behavioral
healthcare and radiology benefits management services generally provide for  payment of a  per  member
per  month fee to the Company. See  ‘‘Risk Factors—Risk-Based Products’’ and ‘‘—Reliance on
Customer Contracts.’’

The Company’s contracts with the State of Tennessee’s TennCare program (‘‘TennCare’’) and the
Company’s Maricopa Contract generated  net  revenues that exceeded, in  the aggregate, ten percent  of
net revenues for the consolidated Company for the year ended  December 31, 2008. The  Maricopa
Contract generated net revenues that  exceeded,  in the aggregate, ten percent of net  revenues for the
consolidated Company for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010.

The Company also has a significant concentration of business with various counties  in the State of
Pennsylvania (the ‘‘Pennsylvania Counties’’) which are part of the  Pennsylvania Medicaid program, and
with various areas in the State of Florida  (the  ‘‘Florida Areas’’)  which are part  of  the Florida  Medicaid
program. See further discussion related  to  these significant  customers in  ‘‘Risk Factors—Reliance on
Customer Contracts.’’ In addition, see ‘‘Risk Factors—Dependence on Government  Spending’’ for
discussion of risks to the Company related  to  government contracts.

Provider Network

Except for certain services which were  provided under the Maricopa Contract (see ‘‘Business—

Business Overview’’), the Company’s managed behavioral  healthcare services and EAP treatment
services are provided by a contracted network of third-party providers, including psychiatrists,
psychologists, other behavioral health professionals, psychiatric hospitals, general medical facilities with
psychiatric beds, residential treatment  centers and other  treatment facilities. The number and type of
providers in a particular area depend  upon customer preference, site, geographic concentration  and
demographic composition of the beneficiary population  in that area.  The  Company’s managed
behavioral healthcare network consists of approximately 75,000 behavioral healthcare  providers,

6

including facility locations, providing various levels of care nationwide. The Company’s  network
providers are almost exclusively independent contractors located throughout the local areas in  which
the Company’s customers’ beneficiary populations reside. Outpatient network providers work out  of
their own offices, although the Company’s personnel are available to assist them with  consultation and
other needs.

Non-facility network providers include  both  individual practitioners, as well as individuals  who are

members of group practices or other  licensed centers or programs. Non-facility network providers
typically execute standard contracts with  the Company under which  they  are generally paid on a
fee-for-service basis.

Third-party network facilities include inpatient psychiatric and  substance abuse hospitals, intensive

outpatient facilities, partial hospitalization  facilities, community health  centers  and other community-
based facilities, rehabilitative and support facilities and other intermediate  care and alternative care
facilities or programs. This variety of  facilities enables the Company  to  offer  patients a full continuum
of care and to refer patients to the most  appropriate facility or program  within that continuum.
Typically, the Company contracts with facilities on  a per diem or fee-for-service basis and, in some
limited cases, on a ‘‘case rate’’ or capitated basis.  The contracts between the Company  and inpatient
and other facilities typically are for one-year terms and are  terminable by the Company or the facility
upon 30 to 120 days’ notice.

Historically, the Company’s radiology  benefits management services were provided by a network of
third-party providers that were contracted  by  the customers  of  the Company  to  provide such services to
the customers’ members or enrollees. To  support its  offering  of  risk-based  arrangements, the Company
has developed and continues to expand  a  proprietary network of providers directly, through  the use  of
its  internal networking resources, and indirectly through a  network contracting company.  Network
providers include diagnostic imaging  centers, radiology  departments of hospitals that provide  advanced
imaging services on an outpatient basis, and individual physicians or  physician groups  that  own
advanced imaging equipment and specialize in certain specific areas of  care. The  Company contracts
with these providers on a fee-for-service  basis.

Competition

The Company’s business is highly competitive.  The Company  competes  with other healthcare

organizations as well as with insurance  companies, including  health maintenance organizations
(‘‘HMOs’’), preferred provider organizations (‘‘PPOs’’), third-party  administrators (‘‘TPAs’’),
independent practitioner associations (‘‘IPAs’’), multi-disciplinary medical  groups, pharmacy benefit
managers (‘‘PBMs’’), healthcare information technology solutions, and other  specialty healthcare  and
managed care companies. Many of the Company’s competitors, particularly certain insurance
companies, HMOs, technology companies, and PBMs  are significantly larger and have greater financial,
marketing and other resources than the Company, and some of the Company’s  competitors provide a
broader range of services. The Company  competes based  upon quality and reliability of its services, a
focus on clinical excellence, product and service  innovation and proven expertise  in its business lines.
The Company may also encounter competition in  the future  from  new market entrants.  In  addition,
some of the Company’s customers that  are  managed care companies may seek to provide specialty
managed healthcare services directly to their subscribers,  rather than by  contracting  with the Company
for such services. Because of these factors, the Company  does  not expect  to be able to rely  to  a
significant degree on price increases  to achieve revenue growth,  and  expects to continue  experiencing
pricing pressures.

Insurance

The Company maintains a program of  insurance coverage for  a  broad range of risks in its business.

The Company has renewed its general,  professional and managed  care  liability  insurance policies with
unaffiliated insurers for a one-year period  from  June 17, 2010 to June 17, 2011. The general  liability
policies are written on an ‘‘occurrence’’  basis,  subject to a $0.05 million per claim un-aggregated
self-insured retention. The professional  liability  and managed care errors and omissions  liability  policies
are written on a ‘‘claims-made’’ basis, subject to a  $1.0 million  per  claim  ($10.0  million  per  class action
claim) un-aggregated self-insured retention  for  managed care liability, and a $0.05  million per claim
un-aggregated self-insured retention  for  professional liability.

The Company maintains separate general and professional  liability  insurance policies with an

unaffiliated insurer for its Specialty Pharmaceutical  Management  business.  The  Specialty
Pharmaceutical Management insurance policies have  a one-year term  for the period June  17, 2010 to
June 17, 2011. The general liability policies are  written  on an  ‘‘occurrence’’ basis, subject to a
$0.05 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention. The  professional  liability  policy is written
on a ‘‘claims-made’’ basis, subject to  a  $0.05 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention.

The Company maintains separate professional liability insurance policies  with unaffiliated insurers

for its Maricopa Contract business for  the behavioral  health  direct care facilities. The  Maricopa
Contract professional liability insurance  policies effective dates are from September 1,  2008 to
September 1, 2009. The Company purchased  a five-year extended  reporting period for  the professional
liability policies effective September  1, 2009 for  the period September 1, 2009 to September 1,  2014,
subject to a $0.5 million per claim un-aggregated  self-insured retention. The professional liability
policies are written on a ‘‘claims-made’’  basis.

The Company is responsible for claims  within its self-insured retentions, and for portions  of claims

reported after the  expiration date of the policies if they are not  renewed, or  if  policy limits  are
exceeded. The Company also purchases excess liability coverage in an amount that management
believes to be reasonable for the size  and profile  of  the organization.

See ‘‘Risk Factors—Professional Liability and Other Insurance,’’ for a discussion of the risks

associated with the Company’s insurance  coverage.

Regulation

General. The specialty managed healthcare industry is subject  to  extensive and evolving state and

federal regulation. The Company is subject  to  certain state laws and regulations, including  those
governing the licensing of insurance companies, HMOs,  PPOs, TPAs,  pharmacies and companies
engaged in utilization review and specialty  pharmaceutical management. In addition, the Company  is
subject to regulations concerning the licensing of healthcare professionals, including  restrictions on
business corporations from providing, controlling  or exercising  excessive influence over  healthcare
services through the direct employment of physicians, psychiatrists or,  in certain states,  psychologists
and other healthcare professionals. These  laws and regulations vary considerably among states  and the
Company may be subject to different  types of laws and regulations depending on the specific regulatory
approach adopted by each state to regulate  the managed care and specialty  pharmacy businesses and
the provision of healthcare treatment services. In addition, the Company is subject to certain  federal
laws as a result of the role it assumes in connection with managing its customers’ employee benefit
plans. The regulatory scheme generally  applicable  to  the Company’s operations is  described in  this
section.

The Company believes its operations  are structured to comply in  all material  respects with
applicable laws and regulations and that  it  has received all licenses  and approvals that are material to
the operation of its business. However,  regulation of  the specialty managed healthcare industry is

8

constantly evolving, with new legislative  enactments and regulatory initiatives at  the state and federal
levels being implemented on a regular basis. Consequently,  it is possible that a court  or regulatory
agency may take a position under existing  or future  laws or regulations,  or as  a result of a  change in
the interpretation thereof, that such laws or  regulations apply  to  the Company  in a different manner
than the Company believes such laws  or regulations apply. Moreover,  any such  position  may require
significant alterations to the Company’s  business operations  in order to comply with  such laws or
regulations, or interpretations thereof.  Expansion of the Company’s business to cover additional
geographic areas, to serve different types of customers,  to  provide new services  or to commence new
operations could also subject the Company to additional  licensure requirements  and/or regulation.
Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements  could  have a  material adverse affect on the
Company.

Licenses. Certain regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the Company possess discretionary
powers when  issuing or renewing licenses or granting approval of proposed  actions such as mergers, a
change  in ownership, transfer or assignment of licenses and certain intra-corporate transactions. One  or
multiple agencies may require as a condition of such license or approval that the  Company cease or
modify certain of its operations or modify the way  it operates in  order to  comply with applicable
regulatory requirements or policies. In addition,  the time necessary to obtain a license or approval
varies from state to state, and difficulties in obtaining a  necessary license or approval may result in
delays in the Company’s plans to expand operations in a  particular state  and, in some  cases, lost
business opportunities.

In recent years, in response to governmental agency inquiries or  discussions with regulators,  the
Company has determined to seek licensing for its managed  behavioral healthcare and radiology benefits
management business as a single service HMO, TPA or utilization review agent in one or  more
jurisdictions. The Company has also sought and obtained utilization review licenses  in some states  for
its pharmaceutical management business.  Compliance activities,  mandated changes  in the Company’s
operations, delays in the expansion of the Company’s business  or  lost business opportunities as  a result
of regulatory requirements or policies could have a material adverse effect  on the Company. As
discussed below in the section entitled ‘‘Regulations Affecting the Company’s Pharmacies,’’ the
Company is subject to certain state licensure requirements in relation to its specialty pharmaceutical
management business.

Insurance, HMO and PPO Activities. To  the extent that the Company operates or is  deemed to
operate in some states as an insurance company, HMO, PPO  or similar  entity,  it may  be  required to
comply  with certain laws and regulations that, among other things,  may  require the Company  to
maintain certain types of assets and minimum levels of deposits, capital, surplus,  reserves  or net worth.
In many states, entities that assume risk  under contracts with licensed insurance companies or HMOs
have not been considered by state regulators to be conducting an  insurance or HMO business. As  a
result, the Company has not sought licenses as either an insurer  or HMO in certain states.

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (the ‘‘NAIC’’) has  undertaken  a
comprehensive review of the regulatory  status of entities arranging for the provision  of healthcare
services through a network of providers that,  like the Company, may assume risk  for the  cost and
quality of healthcare services, but that are not currently licensed as  an HMO or similar entity.  As a
result of this review, the NAIC developed  a  ‘‘health  organizations risk-based capital’’ formula, designed
specifically for managed care organizations, that establishes a  minimum amount of capital necessary for
a managed care organization to support  its overall operations, allowing consideration for the
organization’s size and risk profile. The NAIC also adopted a model  regulation in the  area of health
plan  standards, which could be adopted by individual states in whole or  in part,  and could result in the
Company being required to meet additional or new standards in connection with its existing operations.
Certain states, for example, have adopted regulations  based on  the NAIC initiative, and as  a result, the
Company has been subject to certain  minimum capital requirements in  those states. Certain other

9

states, such as Maryland, Texas, New York and New Jersey, have also  adopted  their own regulatory
initiatives that subject entities such as certain  of the Company’s  subsidiaries  to  regulation under state
insurance laws. This includes, but is not limited to, requiring adherence  to  specific financial solvency
standards. State insurance laws and regulations may limit the  Company’s ability to pay dividends, make
certain investments and repay certain  indebtedness.

Being licensed as an insurance company, HMO or similar  entity  could also subject  the Company to

regulations governing reporting and disclosure, mandated benefits, rate setting  and other  traditional
insurance regulatory requirements. PPO  regulations to which the Company  may be subject may require
the Company to register with a state  authority and provide information concerning  its  operations,
particularly relating to provider and payor  contracting.  The  imposition of  such  requirements could
increase the Company’s cost of doing  business  and could delay  the Company’s  conduct  or expansion  of
its  business in some areas. The licensing process under state insurance laws can be lengthy and, unless
the applicable state regulatory agency  allows  the Company to continue to operate while  the licensing
process is ongoing, the Company could  experience  a material adverse effect on its operating results and
financial condition while its license application is  pending. In addition, failure  to  obtain  and maintain
required licenses typically also constitutes  an  event of default under the  Company’s contracts with  its
customers. The loss of business from one or more  of  the Company’s major customers as a  result of
such an event of default or otherwise  could have a material adverse effect  on the Company.

Regulators may impose operational restrictions  on entities granted licenses to operate as insurance

companies or HMOs. For example, the California Department of Managed Health  Care  has imposed
certain restrictions on the ability of the Company’s California subsidiaries to fund the Company’s
operations in other states, to guarantee or co-sign for the Company’s  financial  obligations, or to pledge
or hypothecate the stock of these subsidiaries and on  the Company’s ability to make certain operational
changes with respect to these subsidiaries. In  addition, regulators of certain of the  Company’s
subsidiaries may exercise certain discretionary rights under  regulations including, without limitation,
increasing its supervision of such entities, requiring additional restricted cash or other security.

Utilization Review and Third-Party Administrator Activities. Numerous states in which the Company

does business have adopted regulations governing entities  engaging in utilization review and TPA
activities. Utilization review regulations typically impose requirements with respect  to  the qualifications
of personnel reviewing proposed treatment, timeliness and notice of the  review of proposed  treatment
and other matters. TPA regulations typically impose requirements regarding claims processing and
payments and the handling of customer funds. Utilization review and TPA  regulations may  increase the
Company’s cost of doing business in the  event that compliance  requires the Company  to  retain
additional personnel to meet the regulatory requirements and to take other required  actions and  make
necessary filings. Although compliance  with utilization review regulations has not had a material
adverse effect on the Company, there  can be no assurance  that specific regulations adopted in the
future would not have such a result, particularly since the  nature, scope and specific  requirements of
such provisions vary considerably among states that  have adopted regulations  of this  type.

Numerous states require the licensing or certification of entities  performing utilization  review or

TPA activities; however, certain federal  courts  have held that such licensing requirements are
preempted by the  Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,  as amended (‘‘ERISA’’).
ERISA preempts state laws that mandate  employee  benefit structures or their administration, as well  as
those that provide alternative enforcement mechanisms. The Company believes  that  its  TPA activities
performed for its self-insured employee  benefit  plan customers are exempt from otherwise applicable
state licensing or registration requirements  based upon federal preemption under ERISA  and have
relied on this general principle in determining not to seek licenses  for  certain  of the Company’s
activities in some states. Existing case law is not uniform  on the  applicability of ERISA preemption
with respect to state regulation of utilization  review or TPA activities. There can be no  assurance that

10

additional licenses  will not be required  with respect to utilization review or TPA  activities in certain
states.

Licensing of Healthcare Professionals. The provision of healthcare treatment services by physicians,
psychiatrists, psychologists, pharmacists and other providers  is subject to state regulation with respect to
the licensing of healthcare professionals.  The  Company believes that the  healthcare professionals who
provide healthcare treatment on behalf  of  or  under  contracts with  the Company, and the case  managers
and other personnel of the health services  business, are in compliance with the applicable state
licensing requirements and current interpretations thereof. However, there can be no assurance that
changes in such state licensing requirements or interpretations thereof  will  not  adversely affect the
Company’s existing operations or limit expansion. With respect to the  Company’s crisis intervention
program, additional licensing of clinicians who provide telephonic assessment or stabilization  services to
individuals who are calling from out-of-state may be required if such assessment or stabilization services
are deemed by regulatory agencies to  be  treatment provided in the state of such individual’s residence.
The Company believes that any such  additional  licenses  could be obtained.

Prohibition on Fee Splitting and Corporate Practice of Professions. The laws of some states limit the

ability of a business corporation to directly provide, control  or  exercise excessive influence  over
healthcare services through the direct  employment of  physicians, psychiatrists,  psychologists, or  other
healthcare professionals, who are providing direct  clinical  services. In  addition, the  laws  of some  states
prohibit physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists,  or other healthcare professionals from splitting fees with
other persons or entities. These laws  and  their  interpretations vary from state to state  and enforcement
by the courts and regulatory authorities  may vary from  state  to  state and may change over time. The
Company believes that its operations as  currently conducted are in material compliance with the
applicable laws. However, there can be  no assurance that the Company’s  existing operations and its
contractual arrangements with physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists and other healthcare professionals
will not be successfully challenged under state laws  prohibiting fee splitting or  the practice of a
profession by an unlicensed entity, or that  the enforceability of such contractual arrangements will  not
be limited. The Company believes that  it  could, if necessary,  restructure its operations to comply with
changes in the interpretation or enforcement of such laws and regulations, and that such  restructuring
would not have a material adverse effect  on  its  operations.

Direct Contracting with Licensed Insurers. Regulators in several states in which  the Company does

business have adopted policies that require HMOs  or, in some instances, insurance companies, to
contract directly with licensed healthcare providers, entities or provider groups,  such as  IPAs,  for the
provision  of treatment services, rather than  with unlicensed intermediary companies. In such states, the
Company’s customary model of contracting  directly  is modified so  that, for example, the IPAs (rather
than the Company) contract directly  with  the HMO or insurance company, as appropriate, for  the
provision  of treatment services.

HIPAA. The Health Insurance Portability and  Accountability Act of 1996 (‘‘HIPAA’’) requires the

Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (‘‘HHS’’) to  adopt standards relating to
the transmission, privacy and security of  health  information  by healthcare providers and healthcare
plans. Confidentiality and patient privacy  requirements are particularly  strict  in the Company’s
behavioral managed care business. In  connection  with HIPAA,  the  Company initially commissioned a
dedicated HIPAA project management office  to  achieve compliance within the required timeframes.
Oversight responsibilities for HIPAA compliance is now being handled by the Company’s  Corporate
Compliance Department. The Company believes it is  currently in compliance with the provisions of
HIPAA.

The Health Information Technology for Economic and  Clinical Health Act (‘‘HITECH Act’’)

passed as part of the American Recovery  and Reinvestment Act of  2009 represents a  significant
expansion of the HIPAA privacy and  security laws.  The  HITECH Act provisions contain multiple

11

effective dates. The Company believes it is currently  in compliance with those provisions of the
HITECH Act and  associated regulations that are  currently in effect and will be in  compliance with
those portions of the law and regulations that  become effective in the future. Regulations interpreting
all portions of this new law have yet  to  be promulgated. The Company believes that it  can comply  with
changes in these laws and regulations, however there can  be  no assurance that compliance with such
laws and regulations would not have  a material adverse effect  on its operations.

Other Significant Privacy Regulation. The privacy regulation under HIPAA generally does  not
preempt state law except under the following  limited  circumstances: (i) the privacy rights afforded
under state law are contrary to those  provided  by  HIPAA so  that compliance with  both standards is  not
possible and (ii) HIPAA’s privacy protections are more stringent than  the state law in  question. Because
many  states have privacy laws that either provide more stringent privacy protections than those imposed
by HIPAA or laws that can be followed  in addition to HIPAA, the Company must address privacy
issues under HIPAA and state law as well.  While  the Company has  always been  required to follow state
privacy laws, the Company now has had to review these state laws against  HIPAA to determine
whether it must comply with standards  established by both HIPAA and state  law. In addition, HIPAA
has created an increased awareness of the  issues surrounding privacy, which  may generate  more state
regulatory scrutiny in this area.

Federal Anti-Remuneration/Fraud and  Abuse Laws. The federal healthcare Anti-Kickback Statute

(the ‘‘Anti-Kickback Statute’’) prohibits, among other things, an  entity from paying or  receiving, subject
to certain exceptions and ‘‘safe harbors,’’ any remuneration,  directly or indirectly, to induce the  referral
of individuals covered by federally funded healthcare programs, or the purchase, or the arranging  for or
recommending of the purchase, of items  or  services for  which payment  may be made  in whole,  or in
part, under Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE or other  federally  funded  healthcare programs. Sanctions
for violating the Anti-Kickback Statute  may include imprisonment, criminal  and civil  fines and exclusion
from participation  in the federally funded healthcare  programs. The  Anti-Kickback Statute has  been
interpreted broadly by courts, the Office  of Inspector  General  (‘‘OIG’’) within  the U.S.  Department of
Health & Human Services (‘‘DHHS’’), and other administrative bodies. It also  is a crime  under the
Public Contractor Anti-Kickback Statute, for any person to knowingly  and  willfully offer  or provide any
remuneration to a prime contractor to the United  States,  including a contractor servicing  federally
funded health programs, in order to obtain favorable treatment in a subcontract.  Violators of  this law
also may be subject to civil monetary penalties. There have been a series of substantial  civil and
criminal investigations and settlements, at the state  and  federal  level, by pharmacy  benefit managers
over the last several years in connection with alleged  kickback schemes. The Company believes that it is
in compliance with the legal requirements imposed by such  anti-remuneration laws and regulations,
however, there can be no assurance that the Company will  not  be  subject to scrutiny or challenge
under such laws or regulations and that any such challenge would  not  have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash  flows.

Federal Statutes Prohibiting False Claims. The Federal Civil False Claims Act imposes civil
penalties for knowingly making or causing to be made false claims with respect to governmental
programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, for services not rendered, or  for misrepresenting actual
services rendered, in order to obtain  higher reimbursement. Private individuals  may bring qui tam or
whistle blower suits against providers under the Federal Civil False Claims Act, which  authorizes the
payment of a portion of any recovery  to  the individual bringing suit. A few federal district courts
recently have interpreted the Federal  Civil False Claims Act as applying  to  claims for  reimbursement
that violate the Anti-Kickback Statute  under certain  circumstances. The Federal Civil False Claims  Act
generally provides for the imposition  of civil penalties and for  treble damages, resulting  in the
possibility of substantial financial penalties for  small billing  errors. Criminal  provisions that are  similar
to the Federal Civil False Claims Act provide that a corporation may be fined if it is convicted  of
presenting to any federal agency a claim  or  making a statement that it knows to be false, fictitious or

12

fraudulent. Even in situations where  the Company does not directly provide services to beneficiaries of
federally funded health programs and, accordingly, does  not directly  submit claims to the federal
government, it is possible that the Company could nevertheless become involved in  a situation where
false claim issues are raised based on  allegations that  it caused  or  assisted  a government  contractor in
making a false claim.

The Company is subject to certain provisions of the  Deficit Reduction Act of 2005  (the ‘‘Act’’).
The Act requires entities that receive $5 million  or more in  annual Medicaid  payments to establish
written policies that provide detailed information about the Federal Civil False Claims  Act and the
remedies thereunder, as well as any state laws  pertaining to civil or criminal penalties for false claims
and statements, the ‘‘whistleblower’’ protections afforded under such  laws,  and the  role of such laws in
preventing and detecting fraud waste and  abuse. The written policies are  to  be  disseminated to all
employees, contractors and agents which or  who, on behalf of  the  entity, furnishes,  or otherwise
authorizes the furnishing of, Medicaid healthcare items  or services; performs  billing or coding  functions,
or is involved in the monitoring of healthcare provided  by  the entity. In addition, any  such entity that
has an employee handbook must include a specific discussion of  the  federal and state false claims laws,
the rights of an employee to be protected  as a whistle blower and the entity’s policies and procedures
for detecting and preventing fraud, waste and abuse. The Company does  not believe that it is  in
violation of the Federal Civil False Claims Act  (or  its  criminal counterparts)  and the  Company has  a
corporate compliance and ethics program, policies and procedures and  internal  controls in place  to
help maintain an organizational culture of  honesty and integrity.

State Anti-Remuneration/False Claims  Law. Several states have laws and/or regulations  similar to

the federal anti-remuneration and Federal False Claims Act described above. Sanctions for violating
these state anti-remuneration and false claims laws  may include injunction, imprisonment, criminal  and
civil fines and exclusion from participation in the  state  Medicaid programs. The Company believes that
it is in substantial compliance with the legal  requirements  imposed by such anti-remuneration laws and
regulations. However, there can be no  assurance that  the Company will not be subject to scrutiny or
challenge under such laws or regulations and that  any  such challenge would not have a  material
adverse effect on the Company’s business,  results  of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

ERISA. Certain of the Company’s services are  subject to the provisions  of ERISA. ERISA
governs certain aspects of the relationship  between employer-sponsored healthcare benefit plans and
certain providers of services to such plans  through a series of complex laws and regulations that are
subject to periodic interpretation by the Internal Revenue Service (‘‘IRS’’) and the U.S. Department  of
Labor. In some circumstances, and under certain customer contracts, the Company may be expressly
named as a ‘‘fiduciary’’ under ERISA, or be deemed to have  assumed duties that make it an ERISA
fiduciary, and thus be required to carry  out its operations in a manner that complies with ERISA in all
material respects. The Company believes  that it  is in material compliance  with ERISA and that such
compliance does not currently have a material  adverse effect on its operations, however there can be
no assurance that continuing  ERISA  compliance efforts or any future changes to ERISA  will not have
a material adverse effect on the Company.

Regulation of Customers. Regulations imposed upon the Company’s  customers include, among
other things, benefits mandated by statute, exclusions from coverage prohibited by statute, procedures
governing the payment and processing  of  claims, record keeping and reporting requirements,
requirements for and payment rates applicable to coverage of Medicaid and  Medicare beneficiaries,
provider contracting and enrollee rights and confidentiality requirements. Although the Company
believes that such regulations do not,  at  present,  materially impair its operations, there can be no
assurance that such indirect regulation  will  not have a  material adverse effect on the Company in the
future.

13

In October 2008, the United States Congress passed the Paul  Wellstone and Pete Dominici Mental

Health Parity Act  of 2008 (‘‘MHPAEA’’)  establishing  parity in financial  requirements (e.g.  co-pays,
deductibles, etc.) and treatment limitations  (e.g. limits on the number of visits) between  mental health
and substance abuse benefits and medical/surgical benefits  for  health  plan members.  This new law does
not require coverage for mental health  or substance abuse disorders but if coverage is provided it must
be provided at parity. No specific disorders are  mandated for coverage; health plans  are able  to  define
mental health and substance abuse to  determine what they are going to cover. State mandated benefits
laws are not preempted. The law applies  to  ERISA plans, Medicaid managed care  plans and State
Children’s Health Insurance Program  (‘‘SCHIP’’) plans. There is an exemption for small employers.  On
February 2, 2010, the Department of the  Treasury, the  Department  of Labor and the Department of
Health and Human Services issued Interim Final Rules interpreting the MHPAEA  (IFR). The IFR
applies to ERISA plans and insured  business;  the IFR currently does not apply to Medicaid  Managed
Care plans or SCHIP plans although  it is  anticipated  that similar regulatory requirements  will be
imposed on that business in the future. The  IFR included some concepts  not  included under the statute
including the requirement to conduct  the parity  review at the category level  within the plan, introducing
the concept of nonquantitative treatment  limitations, and prohibiting separate but  equal deductibles.
While some of these regulatory requirements were  not anticipated, the company believes it  is in
compliance with the requirements of  the IFR and that there is no material impact to the company
related to compliance. No assurance  can be given that  additional interpretive guidance on the
legislation and IFR will not have a material  adverse  effect on the  Company. However, the Company’s
risk contracts do allow for repricing to occur effective the  same date that any  legislation becomes
effective if that legislation is projected  to  have a material effect on cost of care.

Federal and State Medicaid Laws and Regulations. The Company directly contracts with  various
states to provide specialty Medicaid managed care services to state Medicaid  beneficiaries. As such, it is
subject to certain federal and state laws  and regulations  affecting Medicaid as well  as state  contractual
requirements. The Company believes it  is  in material compliance with these laws, regulations and
contractual requirements. The Company also is a sub-contractor to health plans  who provide Medicaid
managed care services to state Medicaid  beneficiaries. In  the Company’s capacity  as a subcontractor
with these health plans, the Company  is indirectly  subject to  certain federal and state laws and
regulations as well as contractual requirements pertaining  to  the operation of this business. If a state or
a health plan customer determines that the Company has  not  performed satisfactorily as a
subcontractor, a state or the health plan customer may require the Company to cease these activities or
responsibilities under the subcontract.  While  the Company believes that it provides satisfactory levels of
service under its respective subcontracts,  the Company can  give no assurances that a  state or health
plan  will not terminate the Company’s business relationships  insofar as they  pertain to these services.

Medicare Part D Laws and Regulations. The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement,  and
Modernization Act of 2003 (‘‘MMA’’)  established  a voluntary outpatient prescription drug benefit for
Medicare enrollees on an insured basis through Prescription Drug Plans, (‘‘PDPs’’),  and by Medicare
Advantage Plans (‘‘Part D Activities’’), in various regions across the United States.  The  MMA has  been
amended subsequently by several statutes, most notably the Medicare Improvements for Patients and
Providers Act of 2008 (or ‘‘MIPPA’’), and the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
(‘‘CMS’’) have issued significant interpretive regulations  and guidance regarding the Medicare Part  D
drug benefit program. Among other things,  PDPs and Medicare Advantage  Plans  are subject to
requirements intended to deter fraud,  waste and abuse  and are monitored  strictly by the federal CMS
and its contracted Medicare Drug Integrity  Contractors (‘‘MEDICs’’) to ensure that Part  D program
funds  are not spent inappropriately.

The Company is neither a PDP nor a Medicare  Advantage  Plan; however, the  Company contracts

with PDPs and Medicare Advantage Plans, (‘‘Part D  Plans’’)  to  provide various services. In the
Company’s capacity as a subcontractor  with  certain Part D Plan clients, the Company is indirectly

14

subject to certain federal rules, regulations, and sub-regulatory guidance pertaining to the  operation of
Medicare Part D. If CMS or a health plan customer determines that the Company has not performed
satisfactorily as a subcontractor, CMS or  the health plan customer may  require the Company  to  cease
its  Part D activities or responsibilities  under the subcontract.  While  the Company believes that it
provides satisfactory levels of service under its respective subcontracts,  the Company  can give  no
assurances that CMS or a Part D Plan  will not terminate the  Company’s business relationships insofar
as they pertain to Medicare Part D.

CMS requires PDPs and Medicare Advantage Plans to report 100% of all price concessions
received for PBM services. The applicable CMS guidance suggests  that best practices would require
PDPs and Medicare Advantage Plans  to  contractually  require the right to audit  their PBMs  as well as
require 100% transparency as to manufacturer  rebates paid for drugs provided under the sponsor’s
plan,  including the portion of such rebates retained by the PBM as part of the  price concession for the
PBM’s services. Additionally, CMS requires Part D Plan sponsors to ensure through their contractual
arrangements with first tier, downstream  and  related entities  (which  would include PBMs) that CMS
has access to such entities’ books and records  pertaining to services performed in connection with
Part D. The CMS regulations also suggests that Part D Plan sponsors should contractually require their
first tier, downstream and related entities to comply with certain elements of the sponsor’s  compliance
program. The Company has not experienced and does not anticipate  that such disclosure  and auditing
requirements, to the extent required  by Medicare  plan partners, will have  a materially adverse effect on
the Company’s specialty pharmacy business.

CMS also requires that Part D plan sponsors,  beginning in 2010,  calculate beneficiary cost  sharing

based upon the price ultimately received by the pharmacy or other dispensing provider, rather  than
upon the price paid by the plan. Such calculation could potentially result in lower  pharmacy claims
reimbursement by Part D plan sponsors.  In addition, CMS requires  that any  profit realized or loss
incurred by a PBM through price negotiations  with pharmacies  or manufacturers be included as
administrative costs to the plan rather than being factored  into  drug costs for reimbursement purposes.

FDA Regulation. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (‘‘FDA’’) generally has authority to
regulate drug promotional activities that are performed  ‘‘by or on behalf of’’ a drug  manufacturer. The
Company’s business includes the provision  of educational seminars for prescribers  and other of  the
Company’s customers on behalf of manufacturer clients and thus may be subject  to  the federal  laws
applicable to the promotion of prescription drugs. There  can  be  no assurance that the FDA  will  not
attempt to assert jurisdiction over certain aspects of the Company’s specialty pharmacy business in the
future and, although the Company is  not  controlled  directly or indirectly  by any drug manufacturer, the
impact  of future FDA regulation could  materially adversely affect the Company’s specialty pharmacy
business, results of operations, financial condition or cash  flows.

State Comprehensive PBM Regulation. States continue to introduce broad legislation to regulate

pharmacy benefits management activities. Some of this legislation could encompass  certain of the
activities of the specialty pharmacy business  of  the Company. In particular,  some legislation  seeks to
impose fiduciary duties or disclosure  obligations  on entities  that provide certain types of pharmacy
management services. Both Maine and the District  of Columbia have enacted statutes  designed to
impose certain fiduciary obligations on entities providing PBM services. In  2008, Maryland
implemented comprehensive PBM registration  legislation. Other states,  including Mississippi, Louisiana,
Connecticut and Tennessee, have recently  enacted  laws regulating various  pharmacy benefit
management activities, and similar legislation is pending in several more  states. Such laws generally
require certain financial disclosures. Such state laws do not appear to be having a  material  adverse
effect on the Company’s specialty pharmacy business. However, the Company can give no assurance
that these and other states will not enact legislation with more adverse consequences in the  near future;
nor can the Company be certain that  future regulations or interpretations of existing  laws  will  not
adversely affect its specialty pharmacy business.

15

State Legislation Affecting Plan or Benefit  Design. Some states have enacted legislation  that
prohibits certain types of managed care  plan sponsors from implementing certain restrictive formulary
and network design features,  and many states have legislation regulating various aspects of managed
care plans, including provisions relating to pharmacy benefits.  Other states mandate coverage of certain
benefits or conditions and require health plan coverage of specific drugs, if  deemed medically necessary
by the prescribing physician. Such legislation does not generally apply to the Company directly, but  may
apply  to certain clients of the Company,  such as HMOs  and health  insurers.

Legislation Affecting Drug Prices. Specialty pharmaceutical manufacturers generally report various

price metrics to the federal government, including  ‘‘average sales  price’’ (‘‘ASP’’), ‘‘average
manufacturer price’’ (‘‘AMP’’) and ‘‘best price’’ (‘‘BP’’). The Company  does  not  calculate  these  price
metrics, but the Company notes that the  ASP, AMP and BP methodologies  may create incentives for
some drug manufacturers to reduce the levels of discounts or rebates  available to purchasers,  including
the Company, or their clients with respect to specialty  drugs.  Any changes in the  guidance affecting
pharmaceutical manufacturer price metric calculations  could  materially adversely  affect the Company’s
business.

Additionally, most of the Company’s  dispensing  contracts  with its  customers  use ‘‘average

wholesale price’’ (‘‘AWP’’) as a benchmark for establishing  pricing.  As part of settlements  in the
consolidated cases of New England Carpenters  Health Benefit Fund, et. al. v. First Data  Bank, et.  al.,
Civil Action No. 1:05-CV-11148-PBS  (D.  Mass.) and District  Council  37 Health and Security Plan,  et al.
v. Medi-Span, a division of Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.,  Civil Action No. 07-10988-PBS (D. Mass.),
First  Data Bank and Medi-Span, two of  several companies that report data on  prescription drug prices,
have agreed to reduce the wholesale  average cost (‘‘WAC’’) to AWP  mark up of certain pharmaceutical
products. The reduction in WAC to AWP mark up  has the effect of reducing  the AWP. This  settlement
has not had a material adverse affect on  the Company’s results  of operations.

Regulations Affecting the Company’s Pharmacies. The Company owns two pharmacies  that provide
services to certain of the Company’s  health  plan customers.  The activities undertaken by the  Company’s
pharmacies subject the pharmacies to  state and federal  statutes and regulations governing, among other
things, the licensure and operation of mail order  and  non-resident pharmacies, repackaging of drug
products, stocking of prescription drug  products and dispensing of prescription drug products, including
controlled substances. The Company’s pharmacy facilities  are located in  Florida and New York and are
duly licensed to conduct business in those states. Many states,  however, require  out-of-state mail order
pharmacies to register with or be licensed  by the state board of pharmacy or similar governing body
when pharmaceuticals are delivered by mail  into the state, and some  states require that an  out-of-state
pharmacy employ a pharmacist that is licensed in the state  into  which pharmaceuticals are shipped. The
Company  holds  mail  order  and  non-resident  pharmacy  licenses  where  required.  The  Company  also
maintains Medicare and Medicaid provider licenses  where required for the pharmacies to provide
services to these plans.

Regulation of Controlled Substances. The Company’s pharmacies must register with  the United

States Drug Enforcement Administration (the ‘‘DEA’’), and individual state controlled substance
authorities in order to dispense controlled substances. Federal law requires the Company to comply
with the DEA’s security, recordkeeping,  inventory control, and labeling standards in order  to  dispense
controlled substances. State controlled substance  law  requires registration and compliance  with state
pharmacy licensure, registration or permit  standards  promulgated by the state pharmacy licensing
authority.

Some of the state  regulatory requirements described  above may be preempted  in whole or in part

by ERISA, which provides for comprehensive  federal regulation of employee benefit plans. However,
the scope of ERISA preemption is uncertain and is subject to conflicting  court rulings. As a result, the
Company could be subject to overlapping federal and state regulatory requirements in respect of

16

certain of its operations and may need  to  implement  compliance programs that satisfy multiple
regulatory regimes.

Other Regulation of Healthcare Providers. The Company’s business is affected indirectly by

regulations imposed upon healthcare providers. Regulations imposed upon  healthcare providers include
but are not limited to, provisions relating to the  conduct of,  and  ethical  considerations involved in, the
practice of psychiatry, psychology, social work and related behavioral healthcare  professions, radiology,
pharmacy, accreditation, government  healthcare program participation requirements, reimbursements
for patient services, Medicare and Medicaid fraud and  abuse  and, in  certain cases, the common  law
duty to  warn others of danger or to prevent patient self-injury. Changes in these regulatory
requirements applicable to healthcare  providers  could  impact the  Company’s business methods and
practices and there can be no assurances that the impact would not  be  adverse  and material.

Federal Regulations affecting Procurement. The Company also provides services to various  state
Medicaid programs. Services  procurement  is  governed in  part  by federal regulations because the  federal
government provides a substantial amount of funding for the services. The Company’s state  customers
risk loss of federal funding if the Company is not in compliance with federal regulations. The
Company’s non-compliance may also lead  to  unanticipated, negative financial consequences including
corrective action plans or contract default risks.  The  Company believes the Company is in substantial
compliance with various federal regulations  and in compliance  with contract provisions  relating to the
services provided by a commercial organization.

Other Proposed Legislation.

In the last five years, legislation has periodically been introduced  at
the state and federal levels providing  for new healthcare regulatory  programs and materially  revising
existing healthcare regulatory programs (including,  without limitation, legislation to carve  out certain
classes from generic substitution). Recently some  states including Massachusetts, Connecticut and
California have enacted or considered  legislation regarding various forms of mandatory or  universal
health insurance coverage. Such legislation  could include  both federal and state bills affecting Medicaid
programs which may be pending in, or recently  passed by,  state  legislatures and which  are not yet
available for review and analysis. In states  in which such new state legislation has been enacted, there
has been no material adverse impact  on the  Company. However, the Company at this time is unable  to
predict whether there may be any effect,  positive or negative on  its  business as a result of  any such
future legislation.

Health Care Reform. On March 23, 2010 the President signed  the Patient Protection  and

Affordable Care Act and on March 30, 2010  he signed the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
Act of 2010 (hereinafter collectively referred to as  ‘‘ACA’’). The ACA is a broad  sweeping piece  of
legislation creating numerous changes  in the healthcare regulatory environment. To date, fourteen
regulations implementing provisions of the ACA have been released in addition to numerous  requests
for information, frequently asked questions and other informational notices. Some of  these regulations,
most notably the Medical Loss Ratio  regulations and the  Internal Claims and Appeals and External
Review Processes Regulations, have potential to impact the  Company and its business. Others, such as
the regulation on dependent coverage to age  26 and coverage of preventative health services, could
impact the nature of the members that we serve and the  utilization rates. The Company believes that it
is materially compliant with all applicable provisions of the ACA that  are in effect at this time.  The
Company is closely monitoring legislative and regulatory activity as well as legal  actions related  to  the
ACA to identify potential business risks and opportunities. The Company at this time is unable to
predict whether there may be any effect,  positive or negative on  its  business as a result of  the ACA.

Employees of the Registrant

At December 31, 2010, the Company  had approximately 4,900 full-time  and part-time employees.

The Company believes it has satisfactory relations with its employees.

History

Magellan was incorporated in 1969 under the laws of the  State  of  Delaware.  The Company is
engaged  in  the  specialty  managed  healthcare  business.  Through  2005,  the  Company  predominantly
operated  in the managed behavioral  healthcare business. As a result of certain  acquisitions, the
Company expanded into radiology benefits  management and specialty  pharmaceutical management
during 2006, and into Medicaid administration during 2009.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Reliance on Customer Contracts—The  Company’s inability to  renew,  extend or replace  expiring or
terminated contracts could adversely affect the Company’s liquidity, profitability and financial
condition.

Substantially all of the Company’s net revenue is  derived from contracts that may be terminated

immediately with cause and many, including some of the Company’s most significant contracts, are
terminable without cause by the customer  upon notice  and the passage of a  specified period  of time
(typically between 60 and 180 days),  or upon the occurrence of certain  other  specified events. The
Company’s ten largest customers accounted for 68.7  percent and 66.0 percent of the  Company’s net
revenue in the years ended December 31,  2009 and 2010, respectively.  Loss of  all  of  these  contracts or
customers would, and loss of any one of these  contracts or  customers could, materially reduce the
Company’s net revenue and have a material  adverse effect on  the Company’s liquidity,  profitability and
financial condition.

One  of the Company’s top ten customers during 2009  and 2010  was WellPoint, Inc.  The  Company

recorded  net revenue from contracts  with  WellPoint, Inc.  of  $170.4 million and $175.7 million for the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010,  respectively. The Company’s contracts  with WellPoint, Inc.
terminated on December 31, 2010.

Significant Customers

Consolidated Company

The Maricopa Contract generated net revenues that exceeded,  in the  aggregate,  ten percent of net
revenues for the consolidated Company for  the years ended December 31,  2009 and  2010. Pursuant to
the Maricopa Contract, the Company  provides behavioral healthcare  management and other related
services to approximately 719,000 members in  Maricopa County, Arizona. Under the Maricopa
Contract, the Company is responsible  for providing covered  behavioral health services to persons
eligible under Title XIX (Medicaid) and Title XXI  (State Children’s  Health Insurance Program)  of the
Social Security Act, non-Title XIX and  non-Title XXI eligible  children  and  adults with a serious  mental
illness, and to certain non-Title XIX and non-Title XXI adults  with behavioral health or  substance
abuse disorders. The Maricopa Contract began on September 1, 2007  and extends through June 30,
2012 unless sooner terminated by the parties. The State of  Arizona  has the right to terminate  the
Maricopa Contract for cause, as defined,  upon ten days’  notice  with an  opportunity to cure, and
without cause immediately upon notice from  the State. The Maricopa Contract generated net revenues
of $725.0 million and $807.1 million  for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Concentration of Business

The Company also has a significant concentration of business with various counties  in the State of
Pennsylvania (the ‘‘Pennsylvania Counties’’) which are part of the  Pennsylvania Medicaid program, and

20

with various areas in the State of Florida  (the  ‘‘Florida Areas’’)  which are part  of  the Florida  Medicaid
program. Net revenues from the Pennsylvania Counties in the aggregate totaled $315.5 million and
$334.8 million for the years ended December 31,  2009 and 2010, respectively.  Net revenues from the
Florida Areas in the aggregate totaled $130.9 million and $140.5 million for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Integration of Companies Acquired by  Magellan—The Company’s profitability could be adversely
affected if the integration of companies acquired by Magellan is not  completed in a  timely  and
effective manner.

One  of the Company’s growth strategies is to make strategic acquisitions which  are complementary

to its existing operations. After Magellan  closes  on an  acquisition,  it must integrate the acquired
company into Magellan’s policies, procedures and systems. Failure to effectively integrate an  acquired
business or the failure of the acquired business to perform as anticipated  could result in  excessive costs
being incurred, a delay in obtaining targeted synergies,  decreased  customer performance  (which  could
result in contract penalties and/or terminations),  increased  employee  turnover, and  lost  sales
opportunities. Finally, difficulties assimilating  acquired operations  and services could result  in the
diversion of capital and management’s attention  away from  other business  issues and opportunities.

Changes  in the Medical Managed Care Carve-Out Industry—Certain changes in the business practices
of this industry could negatively impact the Company’s resources,  profitability and results of
operations.

Substantially all of the Company’s Commercial, Radiology Benefits Management and Specialty

Pharmaceutical Management segments’ net revenues are  derived from  customers in the medical
managed care industry, including managed care companies, health insurers and  other health plans.
Some types of changes in this industry’s business practices could  negatively  impact  the Company. For
example, if the Company’s managed care  customers  seek to  provide services directly to their
subscribers, instead of contracting with  the Company for such  services, the Company  could  be  adversely
affected. In this regard, certain of the Company’s major customers in  the past have not renewed all or
part of their contracts with the Company,  and  instead provided managed  behavioral  healthcare services
directly to their subscribers. Other of  the Company’s customers that are managed care companies could
also seek to provide services directly to their  subscribers, rather than by contracting with the Company
for such services. In addition, the Company has a significant number of contracts with Blue  Cross  Blue
Shield plans and other regional health  plans. Consolidation  of  the healthcare  industry through
acquisitions and mergers could potentially result  in the loss of contracts for the Company.  Any  of  these
changes could reduce the Company’s  net revenue, and adversely affect the Company’s profitability and
financial condition.

Changes  in the Contracting Model for  Medicaid Contracts—Certain  changes  in the contracting model
used by states for managed healthcare services contracts relating to  Medicaid lives  could negatively
impact the Company’s resources, profitability  and results of  operations.

Substantially all of the Company’s Public Sector segment net  revenue is  derived from  direct

contracts that it has with state or county governments  for the provision  of  services to Medicaid
enrollees. Certain  states have recently  contracted  with managed  care  companies to manage both the
behavioral and physical medical care of  its Medicaid enrollees.  If other governmental  entities change
the method for contracting for Medicaid  business to a fully  integrated model, the Company will
attempt  to subcontract with the managed  care organizations to provide behavioral healthcare
management for such Medicaid business; however, there is  no assurance that the Company  would be
able to secure such arrangements. Accordingly, if such a change in the contracting  model  were to
occur, it is possible that the Company  could lose current  contracted  revenues, as  well as be unable to

21

bid  on potential new business opportunities,  thus negatively impacting  the Company’s profitability and
financial condition.

Risk-Based Products—Because the Company provides services at  a fixed fee,  if the  Company is  unable
to accurately predict and control healthcare costs, the Company’s profitability could decline.

The Company derives its net revenue  primarily from arrangements under  which the Company
assumes responsibility for costs of treatment in  exchange  for a fixed fee.  The Company refers  to  such
arrangements as ‘‘risk-based contracts’’ or  ‘‘risk-based products,’’ which include EAP  services.  These
arrangements provided 80.8 percent and  79.8 percent of the Company’s net revenue in the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Profitability of the Company’s risk contracts could be reduced if the Company is unable to
accurately estimate the rate of service  utilization  by  members or the cost  of  such services when the
Company prices its services. The Company’s assumptions of utilization  and costs when  the Company
prices its services may not ultimately reflect actual utilization rates and costs,  many aspects of which are
beyond the Company’s control. If the  cost of services provided to members under  a contract  together
with the administrative costs exceeds  the  aggregate fees received by the  Company under  such contract,
the Company will  incur a loss on the  contract.

The Company’s profitability could also be reduced if the Company is required to make

adjustments to estimates made in reporting historical financial results  regarding cost  of care,  reflected
in the Company’s financial statements  as medical claims payable. Medical  claims  payable includes
reserves for incurred but not reported (‘‘IBNR’’)  claims, which are claims for covered services  rendered
by the Company’s providers which have not yet been  submitted to the Company for  payment. The
Company estimates and reserves for IBNR claims based on past claims  payment experience, including
the average interval between the date  services  are rendered  and the date the claims are received  and
between the date services are rendered and the date claims are paid, enrollment data, utilization
statistics, adjudication decisions, authorized healthcare services and other factors.  This data is
incorporated into contract-specific reserve  models.  The estimates for submitted  claims and  IBNR  claims
are  made  on  an  accrual  basis  and  adjusted  in  future  periods  as  required.  If  such  risk-based  products  are
not correctly underwritten, the Company’s profitability and financial condition could be adversely
affected.

Factors that affect the Company’s ability  to  price the Company’s  services, or accurately make

estimates of IBNR claims and other  expenses for which  the Company creates reserves may include
differences between the Company’s assumptions  and  actual results  arising  from, among other things:

(cid:127) changes in the delivery system;

(cid:127) changes in utilization patterns;

(cid:127) changes in the number of members  seeking treatment;

(cid:127) unforeseen fluctuations in claims backlogs;

(cid:127) unforeseen increases in the costs of the services;

(cid:127) the occurrence of catastrophes;

(cid:127) regulatory changes; and

(cid:127) changes in benefit plan design.

Some of  these factors could impact the  ability  of the Company to manage and  control  the medical

costs to the extent assumed in the pricing of its services.

22

If the Company’s membership in risk-based  business continues to grow (which is a major  focus of
the Company’s strategy), the Company’s  exposure to potential losses from risk-based products will also
increase.

Fluctuation in Operating Results—The Company experiences  fluctuations  in quarterly  operating
results and, as a consequence, the Company may fail to  meet  or  exceed market expectations, which
could cause the Company’s stock price to decline.

The Company’s quarterly operating results have varied in the past and  may  fluctuate significantly

in the future due to seasonal and other  factors,  including:

(cid:127) changes in utilization levels by enrolled members of the  Company’s risk-based  contracts,

including seasonal utilization patterns (for example, members generally tend to seek  services  less
during the third and fourth quarters of the year than in the  first and second  quarters  of the
year);

(cid:127) performance-based contractual adjustments to net  revenue, reflecting  utilization results  or other

performance measures;

(cid:127) changes in estimates for contractual adjustments under commercial contracts;

(cid:127) retrospective membership adjustments;

(cid:127) the timing of implementation of new contracts  and  enrollment changes; and

(cid:127) changes in estimates regarding medical  costs and  IBNR  claims.

These factors may affect the Company’s quarterly and annual net revenue,  expenses and

profitability in the future and, accordingly, the Company  may fail  to  meet market expectations, which
could cause the Company’s stock price  to  decline.

Dependence on Government Spending—The Company can be adversely affected  by  changes in federal,
state and local healthcare policies, programs,  funding, and enrollments.

All of the Company’s Public Sector and Medicaid  Administration segment net revenue and  a
portion of the Company’s net revenue in  the Company’s other three operating segments are derived,
directly or indirectly, from governmental agencies, including  state Medicaid programs. Contract rates
vary from state to state, are subject to periodic negotiation and may limit the  Company’s ability to
maintain or increase rates. The Company  is unable to predict the impact on the Company’s operations
of future regulations or legislation affecting Medicaid  programs, or the healthcare industry  in general,
and future regulations or legislation may  have a material adverse effect  on the  Company. Moreover,
any reduction in government spending  for  such  programs could  also  have a  material  adverse  effect  on
the Company (See ‘‘Reliance on Customer  Contracts’’). In addition, the Company’s contracts  with
federal, state and local governmental  agencies,  under both  direct contract and subcontract
arrangements, generally are conditioned upon  financial  appropriations by  one  or more governmental
agencies, especially in the case of state Medicaid  programs. These  contracts generally can be
terminated or modified by the customer  if such appropriations are not  made. The Company faces
increased risks in this regard as state budgets have come under increasing pressure due to the recent
economic downturn. Finally, some of the  Company’s contracts with  federal, state and local
governmental agencies, under both direct contract and subcontract  arrangements, require the  Company
to perform additional services if federal,  state or local laws  or regulations imposed  after the contract is
signed so require,  in exchange for additional compensation to be negotiated by the parties in good
faith. Government and other third-party payors generally  seek to impose  lower contract  rates  and to
renegotiate reduced contract rates with service providers in a trend toward cost control.

23

Restrictive Covenants in the Company’s Debt Instruments—Restrictions  imposed by the Company’s
debt agreements limit the Company’s  operating and financial flexibility. These restrictions may
adversely affect the Company’s ability  to  finance the Company’s future operations or capital  needs  or
engage in other business activities that may  be in the Company’s interest.

On April 30, 2008, the Company entered into a  credit  facility with Deutsche Bank AG and

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. that provided for a $100.0  million Revolving Loan Commitment for  the
issuance of letters  of credit for the account of the  Company with  a  sublimit of up to $30.0 million  for
revolving loans (the ‘‘2008 Credit Facility’’). On April 29, 2009,  the Company entered  into  an
amendment to the 2008 Credit Facility with Deutsche Bank AG, Citibank,  N.A., and Bank  of America,
N.A. that provides for an $80.0 million  Revolving  Loan Commitment  for the  issuance  of letters  of
credit for the account of the Company with a  sublimit of up to $30.0 million for revolving loans (the
‘‘2009 Credit Facility’’). On April 28, 2010,  the Company entered into an amendment to the  2009
Credit  Facility with Deutsche Bank AG,  Citibank, N.A., and Bank of  America, N.A.  that  provided for
an $80.0 million Revolving Loan Commitment for the issuance of letters of credit for  the account of
the Company with a sublimit of up to $30.0 million for revolving loans  (the ‘‘2010  Credit  Facility’’),
which  contains a number of covenants.  These covenants  limit Company management’s discretion in
operating the Company’s business by restricting or limiting  the Company’s ability,  among  other  things,
to:

(cid:127) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred or  redeemable stock;

(cid:127) pay dividends and make other distributions;

(cid:127) repurchase equity interests;

(cid:127) make certain advances, investments and loans;

(cid:127) enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

(cid:127) create liens;

(cid:127) sell and otherwise dispose of assets;

(cid:127) acquire or merge or consolidate with another  company; and

(cid:127) enter into some types of transactions  with affiliates.

These restrictions could adversely affect the Company’s ability to finance future  operations or

capital needs or engage in other business  activities that  may be in the  Company’s interest. The 2010
Credit  Facility also requires the Company to comply with specified  financial ratios and tests. Failure to
do so, unless waived by the lenders under the 2010  Credit Facility,  pursuant  to  its  terms, would result
in an event of default under the 2010 Credit  Facility. The 2010 Credit Facility is guaranteed by most  of
the Company’s subsidiaries and is secured by most of the Company’s  assets and  the Company’s
subsidiaries’ assets.

Required  Assurances of Financial Resources—The  Company’s liquidity, financial condition, prospects
and profitability can be adversely affected by present or future state regulations and contractual
requirements that the Company provide  financial assurance of the Company’s ability to meet the
Company’s obligations.

Some of  the Company’s contracts and certain  state regulations  require the Company or certain of

the Company’s subsidiaries to maintain specified  cash reserves  or  letters of  credit and/or to maintain
certain minimum tangible net equity in certain  of the Company’s  subsidiaries  as assurance that the
Company has financial resources to meet the Company’s  contractual  obligations. Many of these state
regulations also restrict the investment activity of certain  of  the Company’s subsidiaries. Some state
regulations also restrict the ability of certain of the  Company’s subsidiaries to pay dividends to

24

Magellan. Additional state regulations  could be promulgated  that would  increase the  cash or  other
security the Company would be required to maintain. In addition, the Company’s  customers  may
require additional restricted cash or  other  security  with respect to the Company’s  obligations under the
Company’s contracts, including the Company’s obligation  to  pay  IBNR  claims and  other medical claims
not yet processed and paid. In addition, certain of the  Company’s contracts and  state regulations limit
the profits that the Company may earn on risk-based  business. The  Company’s liquidity, financial
condition, prospects and profitability could be adversely affected by  the effects of such  regulations and
contractual provisions. See Note 2—‘‘Summary of  Significant  Accounting Policies—Restricted Assets’’
to the consolidated financial statements  set forth  elsewhere  herein  for a discussion of the  Company’s
restricted assets.

Competition—The competitive environment in the specialty managed healthcare industry may limit  the
Company’s ability to maintain or increase the Company’s rates,  which would  limit or adversely affect
the Company’s profitability, and any failure  in the Company’s ability to  respond  adequately may
adversely affect the Company’s ability  to  maintain contracts or obtain  new  contracts.

The Company’s business is highly competitive.  The Company  competes  with other healthcare

organizations as well as with insurance  companies, including  HMOs,  PPOs,  TPAs, IPAs, multi-
disciplinary medical groups, PBMs, specialty pharmacy companies, radiology  benefits management
companies and other specialty healthcare  and  managed care companies. Many  of  the Company’s
competitors, particularly certain insurance companies,  HMOs and  PBMs are significantly larger and
have greater financial, marketing and  other resources than the Company,  which can  create downward
pressure on prices through economies  of  scale. The entrance or expansion of these larger companies  in
the specialty managed healthcare industry  (including the Company’s  customers  who have in-sourced or
who may choose to in-source healthcare  services) could increase the competitive pressures the
Company faces and could limit the Company’s ability  to  maintain  or increase the  Company’s rates. If
this  happens, the Company’s profitability  could  be  adversely  affected. In addition, if the Company does
not adequately respond to these competitive  pressures,  it could cause the Company to not be able  to
maintain its current contracts or to not  be  able to obtain new contracts.

Possible Impact of Federal Healthcare Reform Law—can significantly  impact  the Company’s  revenues
or profitability.

In March 2010 the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health  Care Education

and Reconciliation Act of 2010 (hereinafter  collectively referred to as ‘‘ACA’’) were passed. The ACA
is a comprehensive piece of legislation intended to make significant changes to the  healthcare system  in
the United States. The ACA contain  various effective  dates extending  through 2020. Numerous
regulations have been promulgated related  to  the ACA with hundreds more expected in the  future.

Significant provisions in the ACA include requiring individuals to purchase health insurance,
minimum medical loss ratios for health insurance issuers, significant changes to the  Medicare and
Medicaid programs and many other changes that affect healthcare  insurance and managed  care. See
‘‘Regulation’’ above for more information. In addition, dozens of lawsuits  have been filed in the  courts
challenging the constitutionality of the  legislation. Therefore, it is uncertain at this time what the
financial impact of healthcare reform will  be  to  the Company.

Other federal or state changes in law  regarding  managed care or universal health insurance

coverage could also have adverse consequences for the Company’s business. The Company  cannot
predict the effect of this legislation or other legislation  that may be adopted by Congress or  by  the
states, and such legislation, if implemented,  could  have an adverse effect on the  Company.

25

Possible Impact of Federal Mental Health  Parity—can significantly impact the  Company’s revenues or
profitability.

In October 2008, the United States Congress passed legislation establishing parity  in financial

requirements (e.g. co-pays, deductibles, etc.) and treatment limitations (e.g. limits on the number of
visits) between mental health and substance  abuse benefits and medical/surgical benefits for members.
This new law does not require coverage  for mental health or substance  abuse disorders but if coverage
is provided it must be provided at parity.  No specific disorders are mandated for coverage; health plans
are able to define mental health and substance abuse  to  determine  what they are going to cover.  State
mandated benefits laws are not preempted. The law applies  to  ERISA plans,  Medicaid  managed care
plans and SCHIP plans. There is an exemption for  small employers. Interim  final regulations (‘‘IFR’’)
were issued on February 2, 2010, final regulations  have not yet been published  and interpretive
guidance from the regulators has been  limited  to  date. The IFR applies to ERISA plans  and insured
business; the IFR currently does not  apply to Medicaid  managed care plans or SCHIP plans  although it
is anticipated that similar regulatory requirements  will  be  imposed on that business in the future. The
IFR included some concepts not included  under the statute including the requirement  to  conduct  the
parity review at the category level within the  plan, introducing the  concept of nonquantitative  treatment
limitations, and prohibiting separate  but  equal deductibles. While  some of these regulatory
requirements were not anticipated, the  Company believes it  is in  compliance with  the requirements  of
the IFR and that there is no material  impact  to  the Company related to compliance.  No assurance can
be given that additional interpretive  guidance on  the legislation and IFR will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company. However,  the  Company’s risk  behavioral contracts generally allow for
re-pricing  to  occur  in  the  event  that  any  legislation  or  regulation  results  in  a  material  effect  on  cost  of
care.

Government Regulation—The Company  is  subject  to substantial government  regulation and scrutiny,
which increase the Company’s costs of doing business and could  adversely affect  the Company’s
profitability.

The specialty managed healthcare industry and the provision of specialty  managed healthcare  are
subject to extensive and evolving federal and state regulation. Such laws  and  regulations cover, but are
not limited to, matters such as licensure,  accreditation, government healthcare program participation
requirements, information privacy and  security, reimbursement  for patient services,  and Medicare and
Medicaid fraud and abuse. The Company’s specialty  pharmaceutical management business is  also the
subject of substantial federal and state  governmental regulation and scrutiny. Government investigations
and allegations have become more frequent concerning possible violations of  fraud and abuse and false
claims statutes and regulations by healthcare organizations. Violators  may  be  excluded from
participating in government healthcare  programs, subject to fines or penalties or  required to repay
amounts received from the government  for previously  billed services. A  violation of such  laws  and
regulations may have a material adverse  effect  on the Company.

The Company is subject to certain state laws and regulations and  federal laws as  a result of  the

Company’s role in management of customers’  employee benefit plans.

Regulatory issues may also affect the Company’s operations including, but  not  limited  to:

(cid:127) additional state licenses that may be required  to  conduct the Company’s  businesses, including

utilization review and TPA activities;

(cid:127) limits imposed by state authorities upon corporations’ control  or excessive influence over
managed healthcare services through the  direct employment of physicians, psychiatrists,
psychologists or other professionals, and prohibiting fee splitting;

26

(cid:127) laws that impose financial terms and requirements on  the Company due to the Company’s

assumption of risk under contracts with licensed insurance companies or HMOs;

(cid:127) laws in certain states that impose an  obligation to contract  with any healthcare provider willing

to meet the terms of the Company’s  contracts  with similar providers;

(cid:127) maintaining confidentiality of patient  information; and

(cid:127) complying with HIPAA (including the  federal HITECH  Act,  which strengthens and expands

HIPAA).

The imposition of additional licensing and other regulatory requirements may, among other things,

increase the Company’s equity requirements, increase the  cost of doing business or  force significant
changes in the Company’s operations  to  comply with these requirements.

The costs associated with compliance with government regulation as discussed above may adversely

affect the Company’s financial condition and results  of operations.

The Company faces additional regulatory  risks associated with its Specialty Pharmaceutical
Management segment which could subject it to  additional  regulatory scrutiny and liability  and which
could adversely affect the profitability  of  the Specialty Pharmaceutical Management  segment in the
future.

Various aspects of the Company’s Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment  are governed by
federal and state laws and regulations.  Specialty Pharmaceutical Services are provided by the Company
to Medicaid and Medicare plans as well as commercial insurance plans. There has been enhanced
scrutiny on federal programs and the  Company must remain vigilant in  ensuring compliance  with the
requirements of these programs. In addition there  are provisions of the ACA which may  impact  the
Company’s pharmaceutical business. Significant sanctions may  be  imposed for violations of  these laws
and compliance programs are a significant operational requirement of the Company’s business. There
are significant uncertainties involving the  application  of many of these legal  requirements to the
Company. Accordingly, the Company  may be required to incur additional  administrative and
compliance expenses in determining the  applicable requirements and  in adapting its compliance
practices, or modifying its business practices,  in order to satisfy  changing interpretations and  regulatory
policies. In addition, there are numerous proposed healthcare laws and regulations at the federal and
state levels, many of which, if adopted,  could adversely affect  the Company’s  business.  See
‘‘Regulation’’ above.

Risks Related To Realization of Goodwill  and Intangible Assets—The  Company’s profitability  could be
adversely affected if the value of intangible assets is not fully realized.

The Company’s total assets at December 31,  2010 reflect goodwill of approximately $426.9  million,
representing approximately 27.6 percent  of total  assets. The Company completed the Company’s annual
impairment analysis of goodwill as of  October 1, 2010  noting that  no  impairment  was identified.

At December 31, 2010, identifiable intangible assets  (customer lists, contracts  and provider
networks) totaled approximately $54.0 million. Intangible assets are amortized over  their  estimated
useful lives, which  range from approximately three to eighteen  years.  The  amortization periods  used
may differ from those used by other  entities. In addition, the Company  may be required to shorten the
amortization period for intangible assets in  future periods based on changes  in the Company’s business.
There can be no assurance that such  goodwill or  intangible assets will be realizable.

The Company evaluates, on a regular  basis, whether for any reason the carrying value of the
Company’s intangible assets and other  long-lived assets  may  no  longer be completely recoverable, in
which  case a charge to earnings for impairment losses could  become necessary. When events  or

27

changes in circumstances occur that indicate the  carrying amount of long-lived assets may  not  be
recoverable, the Company assesses the recoverability of  long-lived assets  other  than goodwill by
determining whether the carrying value of such  intangible assets will be recovered through the future
cash flows expected from the use of the  asset and  its  eventual  disposition.

Any event or change in circumstances leading to a future determination requiring write-off  of a
significant portion of unamortized intangible  assets or goodwill would adversely affect  the Company’s
profitability.

Claims for Professional Liability—Pending or future  actions  or claims  for  professional liability
(including any associated judgments,  settlements,  legal fees  and other costs) could require  the
Company to make significant cash expenditures  and consume significant management time  and
resources, which could have a material adverse effect on the  Company’s profitability and financial
condition.

Management and administration of the delivery of specialty managed  healthcare, the operation of

specialty pharmacies and specialty pharmacy  drug dispensing,  and  the  direct provision of healthcare
treatment services such as the services  that  the Company  provided through the  direct care clinics
operated  under the Maricopa Contract, entail significant  risks  of liability. In  recent years, participants
in the healthcare industry generally,  as well as the specialty managed healthcare industry, have become
subject to an increasing number of lawsuits. From time to time, the Company is subject to various
actions and claims of professional liability  alleging negligence in performing utilization  review and  other
specialty managed healthcare activities, as  well as for  the acts or  omissions of the Company’s
employees, including employed physicians and other clinicians, network providers,  pharmacists, or
others. In the normal course of business,  the Company receives reports relating to deaths  and other
serious incidents involving patients whose  care is  being  managed by the Company. Such incidents
occasionally give rise to malpractice,  professional  negligence and other related  actions and claims
against the Company, the Company’s employees, or  the Company’s network providers. The Company is
also subject to actions and claims for  the  costs  of  services for which payment was denied. Many of
these actions and claims seek substantial  damages and require  the Company to incur significant fees
and costs related to the Company’s defense  and consume significant  management time and  resources.
While the Company maintains professional liability insurance, there can be no assurance  that  future
actions or claims for professional liability (including any judgments,  settlements or costs associated
therewith) will not have a material adverse effect on  the Company’s profitability and  financial
condition.

Professional Liability and Other Insurance—Claims brought against the  Company that exceed  the
scope of the Company’s liability coverage or denial of coverage could  materially and adversely affect
the Company’s profitability and financial condition.

The Company maintains a program of  insurance coverage against a  broad range of risks in the
Company’s business. As part of this program of  insurance, the Company carries professional liability
insurance, subject  to certain deductibles  and self-insured  retentions.  The Company  also is  sometimes
required by customer contracts to post surety  bonds with respect to the Company’s  potential liability on
professional responsibility claims that may be asserted in  connection with services the Company
provides. As of December 31, 2010, the  Company had approximately $104.2 million of such  bonds
outstanding. The Company’s insurance may not  be  sufficient to cover any judgments,  settlements or
costs relating to present or future claims,  suits  or complaints. Upon expiration  of  the Company’s
insurance policies, sufficient insurance  may not be available  on favorable terms,  if at all. To  the extent
the Company’s customers are entitled to indemnification under their contracts with the  Company
relating to liabilities they incur arising from  the operation of the Company’s programs, such
indemnification may not be covered under  the Company’s insurance policies. To the  extent that certain

28

actions and claims seek punitive and  compensatory damages arising  from  the Company’s  alleged
intentional misconduct, such damages, if awarded, may not be covered,  in whole or in  part, by the
Company’s insurance policies. If the Company  is unable to secure adequate insurance in the future, or
if the insurance the Company carries  is not sufficient  to  cover any judgments, settlements  or costs
relating to any present or future actions or claims, such judgments, settlements or costs  may have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s profitability and financial condition. If the  Company is
unable to obtain needed surety bonds in  adequate amounts  or  make alternative  arrangements to satisfy
the requirements for such bonds, the Company may no longer be able to operate in  those states, which
would have a material adverse effect on  the Company.

Class Action Suits and Other Legal Proceedings—The Company is subject to class action and other
lawsuits that could result in material liabilities  to the Company  or cause the Company to incur
material costs, to change the Company’s  operating procedures in ways that  increase costs or to  comply
with additional regulatory requirements.

Managed healthcare companies and  PBM  companies have been targeted  as defendants  in national

class action lawsuits regarding their business practices. The Company  has in  the past been  subject to
such national class actions as defendants and is also subject  to  or a party  to  other  class actions, lawsuits
and legal proceedings in conducting the  Company’s  business.  In addition, certain of  the Company’s
customers are parties to pending class action lawsuits regarding the customers’ business practices for
which  the customers could seek indemnification  from the Company. These  lawsuits  may take  years  to
resolve and cause the Company to incur substantial litigation expenses and the  outcomes could have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s profitability and financial condition. In addition  to  potential
damage  awards, depending upon the outcomes of  such cases,  these lawsuits may  cause  or force changes
in practices of the Company’s industry  and may also  cause  additional regulation of the industry through
new federal or state laws or new applications of existing laws or regulations. Such changes could
increase the Company’s operating costs.

Government Investigations—The Company  may be subjected  to  additional  regulatory  requirements and
to investigations or regulatory action  by governmental  agencies, each of  which  may have a  material
adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition  and results of  operations.

From time to time, the Company receives notifications  from and engages in discussions with
various government agencies concerning the  Company’s businesses and operations. As  a result of  these
contacts with regulators, the Company may,  as appropriate, be required to implement changes to the
Company’s operations, revise the Company’s  filings  with such  agencies  and/or seek additional  licenses
to conduct the Company’s business. The Company’s inability to comply with the various regulatory
requirements may have a material adverse effect  on the Company’s business.

In addition, the Company may become subject to regulatory investigations  relating to the

Company’s business, which may result in  litigation or regulatory action. A subsequent legal  liability  or a
significant regulatory action against the Company could have a material adverse  effect on the
Company’s business, financial condition  and results  of  operations. Moreover, even if the Company
ultimately prevails in the litigation, regulatory  action or investigation,  such litigation, regulatory action
or investigation could have a material  adverse effect  on the Company’s business, financial condition and
results of operations.

Investment Portfolio—The value of the  Company’s  investments is influenced  by  varying economic and
market conditions, and a decrease in value may result in a loss charged to income.

All of the Company’s investments are classified as ‘‘available-for-sale’’  and  are carried at fair value.

The Company’s available-for-sale investment securities were $284.5 million and represented
18.4 percent of the Company’s total consolidated assets  at  December 31,  2010.

29

The current economic environment and recent volatility  of  securities markets increase  the difficulty

of assessing investment impairment and  the  same influences  tend to increase the risk of potential
impairment of these assets. The Company believes  it has  adequately reviewed its investment securities
for impairment and that its investment  securities are  carried at fair value. However,  over time,  the
economic and market environment may  provide additional insight regarding  the fair value of certain
securities, which could change the Company’s  judgment regarding impairment. This could result  in
realized losses relating to other-than-temporary declines  being  charged  against  future income. Given
the current market conditions and the significant  judgments  involved, there is a risk that declines in  fair
value may occur and material other-than-temporary impairments may be charged  to  income  in future
periods, resulting in realized losses. In addition, if it became necessary for the Company to liquidate  its
investment portfolio on an accelerated  basis, it could have an adverse  effect on  the Company’s  results
of operations.

Adverse Economic Conditions—The state of the  national economy and adverse changes in economic
conditions could adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations.

The state of the economy has negatively  affected state budgets and could adversely  affect the

Company’s reimbursement from state Medicaid  programs in its Medicaid Administration and Public
Sector segments. The state of the economy and adverse economic conditions could also adversely  affect
the Company’s customers in the Commercial, Radiology Benefits Management and Specialty
Pharmaceutical Management segments resulting  in increased pressures on  the Company’s operating
margins. In addition, the economic conditions may result in decreased membership in the Commercial,
Radiology Benefits Management, and  Specialty  Pharmaceutical Management segments, thereby
adversely affecting the revenues to the  Company  from such customers as well as the Company’s
operating profitability.

Adverse economic conditions in the debt markets  may affect  the Company’s ability  to  refinance the
Company’s existing 2010 Credit Facility  on  April 28,  2013 upon  maturity on  acceptable terms, or at  all.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2. Properties

The Company currently leases approximately 1.1  million square  feet  of office  space comprising 61
offices in 25 states, the District of Columbia and Ontario,  Canada with terms expiring between January
2011 and October 2016. The Company’s  principal  executive offices are located in Avon, Connecticut,
which  lease expires in September 2012. The Company believes  that its current facilities are suitable for
and adequate to support the level of its  present operations.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The management and administration  of the  delivery of specialty managed healthcare  entails
significant risks of liability. From time to time, the Company is subject  to  various actions and claims
arising from the acts or omissions of its employees, network providers or other parties.  In the  normal
course of business, the Company receives reports relating to deaths and other  serious incidents
involving patients whose care is being managed by the  Company. Such incidents occasionally give rise
to malpractice, professional negligence  and other related actions  and claims against the Company  or  its
network providers. Many of these actions and claims received  by the  Company seek substantial
damages and therefore require the Company  to  incur significant fees and costs related to their defense.
The Company is also subject to or party  to certain  class actions, litigation and  claims  relating to its
operations and business practices. In the  opinion of management,  the Company has recorded reserves

30

that are adequate to cover litigation,  claims  or assessments that have been  or may be asserted against
the Company, and for which the outcome is  probable and reasonably estimable. Management believes
that the resolution of such litigation  and  claims will  not have a material adverse  effect on the
Company’s financial condition or results  of operations; however, there can  be  no assurance in this
regard.

Stock Repurchases

On July 30, 2008 the Company’s board of directors approved a stock repurchase  plan  which

authorized the  Company to purchase up to $200 million of its outstanding common stock through
January 31, 2010. Stock repurchases under the program could be executed through open market
repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases or other  means.  The board

33

of directors  authorized management to execute stock repurchase transactions under the  program from
time to time and in such amounts and via such methods as management deemed appropriate. The stock
repurchase  program could be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. Pursuant to this
program, the  Company made open market purchases of 3,866,505 shares of  the Company’s common
stock at an aggregate cost of $136.0 million (excluding broker commissions)  during the year ended
December 31, 2008 and made open market purchases of 1,859,959 shares of the Company’s  common
stock at an average share price of $34.39 per share for an aggregate cost of  $64.0  million (excluding
broker commissions) during the period January 1, 2009 through April 7, 2009, which  was the  date that
the repurchase program was completed, the $200 million authorization having been exhausted.

On July 28, 2009 the Company’s board of directors approved  a stock repurchase plan which

authorized the Company to purchase  up to $100 million of its outstanding common  stock  through
July 28, 2011. Stock repurchases under  the program could  be  executed  through  open market
repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share  repurchases or other means. The board
of directors authorized management to execute stock repurchase  transactions under the program from
time to time and in such amounts and  via such methods  as management deemed appropriate. The
stock repurchase program could be limited  or terminated  at  any time without  prior notice. Pursuant to
this  program, the Company made open market purchases of  782,400 shares  of the Company’s  common
stock at an average price of $32.75 per  share for  an aggregate  cost of $25.6 million (excluding broker
commissions) during the period from August  17, 2009  through December  31, 2009. Pursuant to this
program, the Company made open market purchases  of  1,711,881 shares of the Company’s common
stock at an average price of $43.46 per  share for  an aggregate  cost of $74.4 million (excluding broker
commissions) during the period January 1,  2010 through April 1, 2010,  which was the  date that the
repurchase program was completed, the  $100 million authorization having been  exhausted.

On July 27, 2010 the Company’s board of directors approved  a stock repurchase plan which
authorizes the Company to purchase up  to $350 million of its outstanding common stock through
July 28, 2012. On February 18, 2011,  the Company’s board of directors  increased  the stock repurchase
program by an additional $100 million.  Stock  repurchases under  the program  may be executed  through
open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases or  other
means. The board of directors authorized  management to execute  stock repurchase transactions from
time to time and in such amounts and  via such methods  as management deems appropriate. The stock
repurchase program may be limited or  terminated at  any time without prior notice. Pursuant to this
program, the Company made open market purchases  of  1,684,510 shares of the Company’s common
stock at an average price of $48.36 per  share for  an aggregate  cost of $81.5 million (excluding broker
commissions) during the period from November 3, 2010 through December 31, 2010.

Dividends

The Company did not declare any dividends during either of  the years ended December 31,  2009

or 2010 and does not expect to pay a dividend in 2011.  The Company is  prohibited from paying
dividends on its common stock under  the terms of the 2010  Credit  Facility, except  in limited
circumstances. The declaration and payment of any dividends in the future by the Company will be
subject to the sole discretion of the Company’s  board of  directors and will depend upon  many factors,
including the Company’s financial condition, earnings, covenants associated with the  Company’s 2010
Credit  Facility and any similar future  agreement, legal requirements,  regulatory constraints  and other
factors deemed relevant by the Company’s board  of directors.  Moreover,  should the  Company pay any
dividends in the future, there can be  no  assurance that the  Company will continue  to  pay such
dividends.

Recent  Sales of Unregistered Securities

On January 28, 2011, the Company and Blue Shield  of  California  (‘‘Blue Shield’’) entered  into  a

Share Purchase Agreement (the ‘‘Share  Purchase  Agreement’’) pursuant to which on January 31,  2011
Blue Shield purchased 416,840 shares of  the Company’s common stock (the ‘‘Shares’’)  for a  total
purchase price of $20 million. The Shares were  issued  to  Blue Shield, an accredited investor,  in a
private  placement pursuant to Regulation  D of the  Securities Act. Blue Shield  has agreed not to
transfer such Shares for a two year period, except  in the event  of  any change in control of the
Company as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement.  The purchase price for the Shares issued was
determined  taking  into  account  the  recent  trading  price  of  the  Company’s  common  stock  on  NASDAQ
and the restrictions on transfer of the Shares agreed to by  Blue Shield.

Business  Overview

The Company is engaged in the specialty managed healthcare business. Through 2005, the

Company predominantly operated in  the managed  behavioral healthcare business. As a result of certain
aquisitions, the Company expanded into radiology benefits  management and specialty pharmaceutical
management during 2006, and into Medicaid administration  during  2009. The Company  provides
services to health plans, insurance companies, employers, labor unions and  various governmental
agencies. The Company’s business is divided into the following six segments, based on  the services it
provides and/or the customers that it  serves, as described below.

Managed Behavioral Healthcare

Two of the Company’s segments are in  the managed  behavioral healthcare business. This line of
business generally reflects the Company’s  coordination  and management of the delivery of behavioral
healthcare treatment services that are provided through its contracted network  of  third-party treatment
providers, which includes psychiatrists,  psychologists, other behavioral health professionals, psychiatric
hospitals, general medical facilities with psychiatric  beds, residential  treatment centers and other
treatment facilities. The treatment services provided through the Company’s provider network include
outpatient programs (such as counseling or  therapy), intermediate care programs (such as  intensive
outpatient programs and partial hospitalization  services),  inpatient  treatment and crisis  intervention
services. The Company generally does not directly provide, or own any provider of, treatment  services
except as related to the Company’s contract to provide managed behavioral healthcare services to
Medicaid recipients and other beneficiaries  of the Maricopa County  Regional  Behavioral Health
Authority (the ‘‘Maricopa Contract’’).  Under the Maricopa Contract, effective August 31, 2007 the
Company was required to assume the  operations of twenty-four behavioral health direct care facilities
for a transitional period and to divest  itself of  these facilities over a two year period.  All of the direct
care facilities were divested as of December 31, 2009.

The Company provides its management services primarily through: (i) risk-based products, where

the Company assumes all or a substantial portion of  the responsibility for the cost  of providing
treatment services in exchange for a fixed per member per  month fee, (ii) ASO  products, where the
Company provides services such as utilization review, claims administration and/or provider network
management, but does not assume responsibility  for  the cost of the  treatment services, and (iii) EAPs
where  the Company provides short-term  outpatient behavioral  counseling  services.

The managed behavioral healthcare business is managed based on the services  provided and/or the

customers served,  through the following  two segments:

Commercial. The Commercial segment generally reflects managed behavioral healthcare services
and EAP services provided under contracts with  health  plans  and insurance companies for some or all
of their commercial, Medicaid and Medicare members, as well as with  employers, including
corporations, governmental agencies,  and  labor  unions. Commercial’s  contracts encompass risk-based,
ASO and EAP arrangements. As of December 31, 2010, Commercial’s covered lives were  4.7 million,
19.8 million and 12.5 million for risk-based, ASO  and  EAP products, respectively. For the year ended
December 31, 2010, Commercial’s revenue was  $433.9 million, $123.5 million and $94.8 million for
risk-based, ASO and EAP products, respectively.

Public Sector. The  Healthcare  Public  Sector  segment  generally  reflects  services  provided  to
recipients under Medicaid and other state sponsored programs under contracts  with state and  local
governmental agencies. Public Sector contracts  encompass  either risk-based or  ASO arrangements.  As
of December 31, 2010, Public Sector’s covered lives  were 1.6 million and  0.3 million for risk-based  and
ASO products, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Public  Sector’s revenue was
$1.4 billion and $5.6 million for risk-based and  ASO products, respectively.

37

Radiology Benefits Management

The Radiology Benefits Management  segment  generally  reflects the management of the delivery  of
diagnostic imaging services to ensure that such services are clinically  appropriate  and cost effective. The
Company’s radiology benefits management services  currently are provided  under contracts with  health
plans and insurance companies for some  or all of their commercial, Medicaid  and Medicare members.
The Company also contracts with state  and  local governmental agencies for the  provision of such
services to Medicaid recipients. The Company offers its  radiology benefits management services
through risk-based contracts, where the  Company assumes all or a substantial portion of the
responsibility for the cost of providing  diagnostic  imaging services, and through  ASO contracts, where
the Company provides services such as  utilization review and  claims administration, but does  not
assume responsibility for the cost of the  imaging services. As of December 31, 2010,  covered lives  for
Radiology Benefits Management were 5.0 million  and  14.7 million  for  risk-based and ASO products,
respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2010, revenue for  Radiology Benefits Management was
$403.5 million and $50.6 million for risk-based and ASO products, respectively.

Specialty Pharmaceutical Management

The Specialty Pharmaceutical Management  segment comprises programs that manage specialty

drugs used in the treatment of complex conditions such as, cancer, multiple  sclerosis, hemophilia,
infertility, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic  forms of hepatitis  and other diseases. Specialty  pharmaceutical
drugs represent high-cost injectible, infused, oral, or inhaled drugs with sensitive  handling or storage
needs, many of which may be physician  administered. Patients receiving these drugs require greater
amounts of clinical support than those taking more traditional  agents. Payors require clinical, financial
and technological support to maximize the  value  delivered to their  members using  these expensive
agents. The Company’s specialty pharmaceutical management services are provided  under contracts
with health plans, insurance companies,  and governmental agencies for some or all of their commercial,
Medicare and Medicaid members. The  Company’s specialty  pharmaceutical services  include:
(i) contracting and formulary optimization programs; (ii) specialty pharmaceutical dispensing
operations; (iii) strategic consulting services; and (iv) medical pharmacy  management programs.  The
Company’s Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment had contracts  with 43  health  plans and
several pharmaceutical manufacturers and state Medicaid programs as of December 31, 2010.

Medicaid Administration

The Medicaid Administration segment  generally reflects integrated  clinical management  services

provided to the public sector to manage Medicaid  pharmacy, mental health  and long-term  care
programs. The primary focus of the Company’s Medicaid Administration unit involves  providing PBA
services under contracts with states to  Medicaid  and  other  state  sponsored  program recipients.
Medicaid  Administration’s  contracts  encompass  FFS  arrangements.  In  addition  to  Medicaid
Administration’s FFS contracts, effective September 1,  2010, Public Sector has  subcontracted with
Medicaid  Administration  to  provide  pharmacy  benefits  management  services  on  a  limited  risk  basis  for
one of Public Sector’s customers.

Corporate

This segment of the Company is comprised  primarily of operational support  functions such as sales

and marketing and information technology, as well as corporate  support functions  such as executive,
finance, human resources and legal.

38

Acquisition of ICORE Healthcare, LLC

On July 31, 2006, the Company acquired all of the  outstanding units of  membership interest of

ICORE, a specialty pharmaceutical management company, and ICORE  became a wholly-owned
subsidiary. The Company reports the results of operations of ICORE in the  Specialty  Pharmaceutical
Management segment.

The  Company  paid  or  agreed  to  pay  to  the  previous  unitholders  of  ICORE,  (i)  $161  million  of

cash at closing; (ii) $24 million of cash that  was  used  by the unitholders of ICORE to purchase
Magellan restricted stock with such restricted stock recorded as  stock compensation expense  over a
three year vesting period, provided the unitholders did not earlier terminate their employment  with
Magellan; (iii) $25 million plus accrued interest (the ‘‘Deferred Payment’’), subject  to  any indemnity
claims  Magellan  may  have  had  under  the  purchase  agreement;  and  (iv)  the  amount  of  positive  working
capital that existed at ICORE on the  closing date, which  was  $18.2 million.

Acquisition of First Health Services

Pursuant to the June 4, 2009 Purchase Agreement (the ‘‘Purchase Agreement’’) with Coventry,  on

July 31, 2009 the Company acquired (the  ‘‘Acquisition’’) all of the  outstanding equity interests of
Coventry’s direct and indirect subsidiaries First Health  Services Corporation (‘‘FHS’’), FHC,  Inc.
(‘‘FHC’’) and Provider Synergies, LLC (together with FHS and  FHC, ‘‘First  Health Services’’) and
certain assets of Coventry which are  related to the operation of the  business  conducted by First Health
Services. As consideration for the Acquisition, the  Company paid $115.4  million in cash,  excluding cash
acquired and including a payment of  $7.4 million for excess working capital with  such amount being
subject  to  final  adjustments  as  provided  in  the  Purchase  Agreement.  The  Company  is  in  negotiations
with Coventry on settlement of the working capital  adjustment, and anticipates a return of  $0.9 million.
The Company funded the Acquisition  with cash on  hand.

Effective July 1, 2010 the Company discontinued the use of the name  First Health  Services
Corporation and officially changed such  name to ‘‘Magellan Medicaid  Administration, Inc.’’ The
Company reports the results of operations  of  Magellan Medicaid Administration, Inc. within  the
Medicaid Administration segment.

Stock Compensation

At December 31, 2009 and 2010, the  Company had equity-based employee incentive plans,  which

are described more fully in Note 6—‘‘Stockholder’s Equity’’ to the consolidated financial statements set
forth elsewhere herein. The Company recorded  stock  compensation  expense of $19.8 million  and
$15.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010. The Company  recognizes substantially
all of these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over  the  requisite service period,  which is
generally the vesting term of three years.

The Company estimates the fair value  of  substantially all stock options using the Black-Scholes-
Merton option pricing model that employs certain factors including  expected volatility of  stock  price,
expected life of the option, risk-free interest  rate and expected  dividend yield. For the  years  ended
December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, such  volatility was based on the  historical  volatility  of  the
Company’s stock price.

The expected term of the option is based on historical  employee stock option exercise behavior

and the vesting terms of the respective  option. Risk-free interest rates  are based on the  U.S. Treasury
yield in  effect at the time of grant.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for only the  portion of options, restricted stock or

restricted stock units that are expected to vest.  Therefore, estimated forfeiture rates are derived from
historical employee termination behavior. The  Company’s estimated forfeiture rates for  the years ended

39

December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 were  eight percent, five percent and five percent, respectively. If the
actual number of forfeitures differs from  those estimated, additional adjustments to compensation
expense may be required in future periods. If vesting of  an award is conditioned  upon the  achievement
of performance goals, compensation  expense  during the performance period  is estimated using the
most probable outcome of the performance goals, and adjusted as the  expected outcome  changes.

Managed Care Revenue

Managed care revenue, inclusive of revenue from the Company’s risk, EAP and ASO contracts, is

recognized over the applicable coverage  period  on a per member  basis for covered  members. The
Company is paid a per member fee for all enrolled  members,  and this  fee is recorded as revenue in the
month in  which members are entitled  to  service. The Company  adjusts  its  revenue for retroactive
membership terminations, additions and other changes,  when such adjustments are  identified, with the
exception  of  retroactivity  that  can  be  reasonably  estimated.  The  impact  of  retroactive  rate  amendments
is generally recorded in the accounting  period that terms to the amendment are finalized,  and that the
amendment is executed. Any fees paid  prior to the month of service  are recorded as deferred revenue.
Managed care revenues approximated $2.2  billion, $2.2  billion and $2.4  billion for  the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Fee-For-Service and Cost-Plus Contracts

The Company has certain FFS contracts,  including  cost-plus contracts, with customers under  which

the Company recognizes revenue as services are  performed and as costs are  incurred. Revenues from
these contracts approximated $36.1 million,  $104.4 million and $192.9 million for  the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Block Grant Revenues

The Maricopa Contract is partially funded by federal,  state  and county block grant money,  which
represents annual appropriations. The  Company recognizes  revenue from  block grant activity ratably
over the period to which the block grant  funding applies. Block grant  revenues  were approximately
$120.0 million, $106.6 million and $109.1  million for the years ended December 31,  2008, 2009 and
2010, respectively.

Dispensing Revenue

The Company recognizes dispensing revenue, which includes the  co-payments  received from

members of the health plans the Company  serves,  when the specialty pharmaceutical  drugs are shipped.
At the time of shipment, the earnings  process is complete; the obligation of  the Company’s customer to
pay for the specialty pharmaceutical drugs is  fixed,  and,  due to the  nature of the  product, the member
may neither return the specialty pharmaceutical drugs nor receive a refund.  Revenues  from the
dispensing of specialty pharmaceutical  drugs on behalf of  health  plans  were $195.6  million,
$221.6 million and $234.8 million for  the  years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

40

Performance-Based Revenue

The Company has the ability to earn  performance-based revenue under  certain  risk and non-risk

contracts. Performance-based revenue  generally  is based on either the ability of the  Company to
manage care for its clients below specified targets, or  on other operating metrics. For each such
contract, the Company estimates and  records performance-based revenue after  considering the  relevant
contractual terms and the data available for the performance-based revenue calculation.  Pro-rata
performance-based revenue is recognized on an interim  basis pursuant to the  rights and obligations of
each  party upon termination of the contracts. Performance-based  revenues were $13.4 million,
$7.6 million and $13.1 million for the  years ended December 31, 2008,  2009 and 2010, respectively.

Cost of Care, Medical Claims Payable  and  Other Medical Liabilities

Cost of care is recognized in the period in which members receive  managed healthcare  services. In

addition to actual benefits paid, cost of care in  a period  also includes the  impact  of accruals for
estimates of medical claims payable.  Medical  claims payable represents the liability for  healthcare
claims reported but not yet paid and  claims incurred but  not  yet reported  (‘‘IBNR’’) related  to  the
Company’s managed healthcare businesses.

Such liabilities are determined by employing  actuarial methods that  are  commonly  used  by  health

insurance actuaries and that meet actuarial standards  of  practice.

The IBNR portion of medical claims payable is  estimated based on  past claims payment

experience for member groups, enrollment data, utilization statistics, authorized healthcare  services and
other factors. This data is incorporated into contract-specific actuarial reserve models and is further
analyzed to create ‘‘completion factors’’  that represent the  average percentage  of total incurred  claims
that have been paid through a given  date  after being incurred. Factors  that  affect estimated completion
factors include benefit changes, enrollment changes, shifts in product mix,  seasonality  influences,
provider reimbursement changes, changes  in claims inventory levels, the speed of claims processing, and
changes in paid claim levels. Completion factors are applied to claims paid through the financial
statement date to estimate the ultimate claim expense incurred  for the current  period. Actuarial
estimates of claim liabilities are then determined by  subtracting  the actual paid  claims  from the
estimate of the ultimate incurred claims. For  the most recent incurred  months (generally the most
recent two months), the percentage of  claims paid for claims incurred in those  months is generally low.
This makes the completion factor methodology less reliable for such  months. Therefore, incurred
claims for any month with a completion  factor that is less  than 70 percent are generally  not  projected
from historical completion and payment  patterns; rather they are projected by estimating claims
expense based on recent monthly estimated cost incurred per member per month  times membership,
taking into account seasonality influences, benefit changes and healthcare trend levels,  collectively
considered to be ‘‘trend factors.’’

Medical claims payable balances are  continually monitored and reviewed. If it is  determined that
the Company’s assumptions in estimating  such liabilities are significantly different than actual results,
the Company’s results of operations and  financial position could  be  impacted in future periods.
Adjustments of prior period estimates may  result in additional cost  of care  or a reduction  of cost of
care in the period an adjustment is made.  Further, due to the considerable variability  of  healthcare
costs, adjustments to claim liabilities occur each period and  are  sometimes significant as compared to
the net income recorded in that period. Prior period development is recognized immediately upon  the
actuary’s judgment that a portion of the prior period  liability  is no  longer needed or that additional

41

liability should have been accrued. The  following  table  presents the components of the  change  in
medical claims payable for the years  ended  December 31,  2008, 2009 and 2010  (in  thousands):

(1) For any given period, a portion of  unpaid medical claims  payable could be covered  by
reinvestment liability (discussed below) and may not impact the  Company’s results of
operations for such periods.

(2) Medical claims payable is offset by customer  withholds  from capitation payments in

situations in which the customer has the  contractual  requirement to pay providers  for
care incurred.

Actuarial standards of practice require that the claim liabilities  be  adequate under moderately
adverse circumstances. Adverse circumstances are  situations  in which the actual  claims  experience  could
be higher than the otherwise estimated value  of such claims. In many situations,  the claims paid
amount experienced will be less than  the estimate that  satisfies the  actuarial  standards of practice.

Care trend factors and completion factors can  have a significant impact  on  the medical claims
payable liability. The following example  provides the estimated impact to the Company’s December  31,

42

2010 unpaid medical claims payable liability assuming hypothetical changes in  care trend  factors and
completion factors:

Approximately 70 percent of IBNR dollars is based on care trend factors.

(1) Assumes a change in the care trend factor for any month that a completion factor is not

used to estimate incurred claims (which is  generally any  month that is  less  than
70 percent complete).

(2) Assumes a change in the completion factor for  any month  for  which completion factors
are used to estimate IBNR (which is generally any month that  is 70  percent or more
complete).

Due to the existence of risk sharing provisions  in certain customer  contracts, a change in  the
estimate for medical claims payable does not necessarily result in an equivalent impact on  cost of care.

The Company believes that the amount of medical claims payable  is adequate to cover  its ultimate

liability for unpaid claims as of December  31, 2010; however, actual claims payments may differ from
established estimates.

Other medical liabilities consist primarily of ‘‘reinvestment’’ payables under certain managed

behavioral healthcare contracts with Medicaid customers  and  ‘‘profit share’’  payables under certain
risk-based contracts. Under a contract  with  reinvestment features,  if the cost of  care is less than certain
minimum amounts specified in the contract (usually as a percentage  of revenue), the  Company is
required to ‘‘reinvest’’ such difference  in behavioral healthcare programs  when and as specified by the
customer or to pay the difference to the  customer  for their use in  funding  such programs. Under a
contract with profit share provisions,  if  the cost  of care is below certain specified levels,  the Company
will ‘‘share’’ the cost savings with the  customer at the percentages set forth in the contract.

Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets to be held and used, are

currently reviewed for impairment whenever events or  changes in circumstances  indicate  that  the
carrying  amount should be addressed.  Impairment is determined by  comparing the carrying  value of
these long-lived assets to management’s best  estimate of the  future undiscounted cash flows expected to
result from the use of the assets and  their eventual  disposition. The cash flow  projections used to make
this  assessment are consistent with the cash  flow projections that  management uses internally in  making
key decisions. In the event an impairment exists, a  loss is recognized based on  the amount by which the
carrying  value exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is generally determined by using quoted  market
prices or the discounted present value  of  expected future  cash flows.

43

Goodwill

The Company is required to test its goodwill for impairment on  at  least an annual basis. The
Company has selected October 1 as the  date of its annual impairment test.  The  goodwill  impairment
test is a two-step process that requires management to make judgments in determining what
assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step of the process consists of  estimating  the fair value
of each reporting unit that has been  allocated  goodwill  based on  various valuation techniques, with the
primary technique being a discounted  cash flow analysis,  which requires  the input  of various
assumptions with respect to revenues,  operating margins, growth rates  and  discount rates. The
estimated fair value for each reporting unit is compared  to  the carrying value of the  reporting unit,
which  includes the allocated goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than  the carrying value, a
second  step is performed to compute the  amount  of the impairment by  determining  an ‘‘implied fair
value’’ of goodwill. The determination  of  a reporting unit’s  ‘‘implied fair value’’ of goodwill requires  the
Company to allocate the estimated fair value of the  reporting unit to the  assets and liabilities of the
reporting unit. Any unallocated fair value  represents  the ‘‘implied  fair value’’ of goodwill, which is
compared to its corresponding carrying  value.

The fair value of the Health Plan reporting unit  (a  component  of the Commercial segment) was

determined using a discounted cash flow  method. This method involves estimating the  present  value of
estimated future cash flows utilizing a risk adjusted discount rate. Key  assumptions  for this method
include cash flow projections, terminal  growth  rates  and discount rates.

The fair value of the Radiology Benefits Management reporting unit was determined using
discounted cash flow, merger and acquisition,  and  public company methods. Key  assumptions  for the
discounted cash flow method are consistent with  those described above. Key assumptions for  the
merger and acquisition method include  actual  operating results  and appropriate  revenue and earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and  amortization (‘‘EBITDA’’)  multiples. Key assumptions  for the
public company method include actual operating results, projected  operating results, and appropriate
EBITDA, earnings before interest and taxes (‘‘EBIT’’), and debt  free net income multiples. The
weighting applied to the fair values determined using the discounted cash flow, merger and acquisition,
and public company methods to determine an overall fair value for  Radiology Benefits Management
was 60 percent, 20 percent and 20 percent, respectively.

The fair value of the Specialty Pharmaceutical  Management  reporting unit was  determined using a

discounted  cash  flow  method.  Key  assumptions  for  this  method  are  consistent  with  those  described
above.

The fair value of the Medicaid Administration reporting unit  was determined using discounted

cash flow, merger and acquisition, and public  company methods. Key assumptions  for the  discounted
cash flow method, merger and acquisition  method, and public  company method are consistent with
those described above. The weighting  applied  to  the fair values  determined using the discounted cash
flow, merger and acquisition, and public company methods  to  determine  an overall  fair value for
Medicaid Administration was 60 percent,  20 percent  and  20  percent, respectively.

As a result of the first step of the 2010 annual goodwill impairment analysis, the fair  value of  each

reporting unit with allocated goodwill  exceeded its carrying value.  Therefore, the second step was not
necessary. However, a 60 percent decline  in fair  value of  the Health Plan reporting unit, a 53 percent
decline  in fair value of Radiology Benefits Management, a  50 percent decline in  fair value  of Specialty
Pharmaceutical Management, or a 24 percent decline in  fair value of Medicaid Administration would
have caused the carrying values for these reporting units to be in excess of fair  values, which would
require the second step to be performed. The second step could have resulted  in an impairment  loss
for goodwill.

Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated federal  income tax return  for  the Company and its eighty-
percent or more owned subsidiaries, and the Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in
various states and local jurisdictions.

The Company estimates income taxes for each of  the jurisdictions in which it operates. This

process involves estimating current tax  exposures together with assessing  temporary  differences resulting
from differing treatment of items for tax and book purposes.  Deferred tax  assets and/or  liabilities are
determined by multiplying the differences  between the  financial  reporting and tax  reporting bases for
assets and liabilities by the enacted tax  rates expected to be in effect  when such differences are
recovered or settled. The Company then  assesses the likelihood  that the deferred tax assets  will  be
recovered from the reversal of temporary timing differences  and future  taxable income, and to the
extent the Company cannot conclude that recovery is  more likely  than not, it establishes a valuation
allowance. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in income in  the period
that includes the enactment date.

The Company estimates that it has reportable federal net operating  loss carryforwards (‘‘NOLs’’)

as of  December 31, 2010 of $5.5 million  available to reduce future  federal taxable  income.  These
estimated NOLs, if not used, will expire  in 2011  through 2019 and are subject to examination and
adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service (‘‘IRS’’). In addition,  the Company’s  utilization of such
NOLs is subject to limitation under Internal  Revenue Code Section  382 (‘‘Section 382’’) which affects
the timing of the use of these NOLs. At  this  time, the Company  does not  believe these limitations  will
limit the Company’s ability to use any  federal NOLs before they expire.

The Company’s valuation allowances  against  deferred tax assets were $7.3 million  and $5.3 million
as of  December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively,  mostly relating to uncertainties regarding  the eventual
realization of certain state NOLs. Determination  of  the amount of deferred tax  assets considered
realizable requires significant judgment  and  estimation. Changes in  these estimates in  the future  could
materially affect the Company’s financial  condition  and  results of operations.

Prior to 2009, in certain instances, reversals of both valuation allowances and unrecognized tax
benefits were recorded as adjustments  to  goodwill. All other reversals  of  these balances  were recorded
as reductions to income tax expense.  Beginning in 2009  only those changes  occurring during the

45

measurement period subsequent to an acquisition are recorded as  adjustments to goodwill.  All other
reversals of valuation allowances and  unrecognized tax benefits are reflected as reductions to income
tax expense. The Company’s income tax  expense for 2009 and 2010  was  reduced  by  $2.0 million and
$2.7 million, respectively, as a result  of this  change.

The balance of unrecognized tax benefits  as of December 31, 2009 and 2010 was $113.1  million
and $111.6 million, respectively, most of  which  was included  in deferred credits  and other long-term
liabilities, and the remainder reducing deferred tax assets. If these unrecognized tax benefits had been
realized as of December 31, 2009 and 2010,  $88.3 million and $88.2 million, respectively,  would have
impacted the effective tax rate.

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits  recorded at December 31,  2009 and  2010
were liabilities of $1.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for tax positions for which the  ultimate
deductibility is highly certain but for which there  is uncertainty about the  timing of such deductibility.
Because of the impact of deferred tax  accounting, other  than interest and penalties, the deferral of
these deductions to later years would not  affect the annual effective tax rate but could result in the
acceleration of cash payments and/or reduction  to  the NOL carryforwards with respect to the earlier
period.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject  to state or local income tax assessments  by
tax authorities for  years ended prior  to  December 31, 2007. Further,  the  statute of limitations regarding
the assessment of the federal and most  state and local income taxes  for the  year ended December  31,
2007 will expire during 2011. The Company anticipates that up  to  $15.5 million of unrecognized tax
benefits (excluding interest costs) recorded  as of December  31, 2010 could  be  reversed during 2011 as  a
result of statute expirations, $10.2 million  of which would impact the effective  tax rate. All such
reversals (net of the related indirect  tax  benefits)  would be reflected as  discrete adjustments during the
quarter in which the respective statute  expiration occurs.

Results of Operations

The Company evaluates performance  of  its  segments based on profit or loss  from continuing
operations before stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest
income, gain on sale of assets, special charges or benefits, and income taxes  (‘‘Segment Profit’’).
Management uses Segment Profit information for internal reporting and control purposes  and considers
it important in making decisions regarding the allocation  of capital and  other resources, risk assessment
and  employee  compensation,  among  other  matters.  Effective  September 1,  2010,  Public  Sector  has
subcontracted with Medicaid Administration to provide pharmacy benefits management services on  a
limited risk basis for one of Public Sector’s  customers. As such, revenue and cost of care related to this
intersegment arrangement are eliminated. The Company’s segments are defined above.

Commercial

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to the Commercial segment increased by 0.3 percent or $2.1 million from  2009

to 2010. The increase in revenue is mainly  due to revenue from new contracts implemented after 2009
of $22.2 million and favorable rate changes  of $17.9 million, which increases were partially offset  by
terminated contracts of $28.5 million,  the favorable impact  of contractual settlements  in 2009 of
$5.7 million, unfavorable retroactive  rate  adjustments  of $1.3 million recorded  in 2010, and other net
unfavorable variances of $2.5 million.

Cost of Care

Cost of care increased by 3.9 percent  or $13.8 million from 2009 to 2010. The increase in cost  of

care is primarily due to new contracts implemented after  2009 of $14.1 million, the  impact  of favorable
contractual settlements recorded in 2009 of  $2.7 million,  favorable prior period  medical  claims
development recorded in 2009 of $2.5  million, and care trends  and  other  net unfavorable variances of
$12.8 million, which increases were partially  offset by terminated contracts of $12.9 million, favorable
prior period medical claims development  recorded in  2010 of $2.7 million, and favorable  medical  claims
development for 2009 which was recorded in  2010 of $2.7 million. Cost  of care as a percentage of risk
revenue (excluding EAP revenue) increased from 76.4 percent in 2009  to  77.6 percent in  2010, mainly
due to unfavorable care trends and business mix.

Direct Service Costs

Direct  service costs increased by 2.6  percent or $4.0 million from 2009 to  2010. The increase in

direct service costs is mainly attributable to one-time severance  charges in 2010 of $2.0 million
associated with terminated contracts  and  increased  employee compensation and benefits. Direct service
costs increased as a percentage of revenue from  23.4 percent in 2009 to 24.0  percent in 2010,  mainly
due to one-time severance charges in  2010 and changes in  business  mix.

Public Sector

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to Public Sector increased by 5.8 percent or $79.7 million from  2009 to 2010.

This increase is primarily due to increased membership from existing customers of $125.3 million,
$19.3 million related to the recognition  in  2010 of previously deferred revenue on the  Maricopa
Contract as well as the lack of deferral of  revenue for  the current  contract year due to a change  in

48

contractual provisions, the revenue impact  for out of period care development pertaining to 2009 of
$3.2 million, and other net favorable  variances of $24.0 million,  which increases were  partially offset by
terminated contracts of $38.6 million,  net unfavorable rate changes of  $37.2 million, and  the
recognition in 2009 of $16.3 million of  deferred  revenue  on the Maricopa Contract.

Cost of Care

Cost of care increased by 3.2 percent  or $38.3 million from 2009 to 2010. This increase is primarily
due to increased membership from existing customers  of $107.5 million, favorable  prior period  medical
claims development recorded in 2009  of  $2.6  million, and care trends  and other  net unfavorable
variances of $5.9 million, which increases  were partially offset by terminated contracts  of  $35.0 million,
lower care associated with rate changes for contracts with minimum  care requirements recorded in 2010
of $27.6 million, favorable medical claims  development for 2009 which was recorded in  2010 of
$8.0 million, and favorable prior period medical claims development  recorded in 2010 of $7.1 million.
Cost of care decreased as a percentage of  risk revenue from 89.1  percent in  2009 to 86.8 percent  in
2010 mainly due to business mix and  net  favorable care  development.

Direct Service Costs

Direct  service costs decreased by 0.4  percent or $0.3 million from 2009 to  2010. The decrease in

direct service costs is primarily due to terminated contracts,  partially offset by staffing required to
support certain contracts. As a percentage of revenue,  direct service  costs decreased from 5.0 percent
in 2009 to 4.7 percent in 2010 mainly  due to changes in  business  mix.

Radiology Benefits Management

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to the Radiology Benefits Management  segment increased  by  48.8 percent or

$148.9 million from 2009 to 2010. This  increase is  primarily  due to revenue from  new contracts
implemented after 2009 (or during) of $155.9  million  and favorable rate changes of $21.8 million,  which
increases were partially offset by decreased membership from existing customers  of $18.3 million,
favorable retroactive membership, rate, and contractual settlements  recorded in  2009 of $2.4 million,
terminated contracts of $1.7 million,  and other net decreases  of  $6.4 million.

Cost of Care

Cost of care increased by 45.2 percent  or $92.9 million from 2009  to  2010. This increase is
primarily attributed to new contracts implemented  after 2009  (or  during)  of $113.8 million,  favorable
contractual settlements recorded in 2009 of  $4.7 million,  and favorable prior  period medical claims
development recorded in 2009 of $0.8  million, which increases  were partially offset by decreased
membership from existing customers of $19.1  million, favorable medical claims development  for 2009
which  was recorded in 2010 of $2.1 million, favorable  prior period  medical claims development
recorded  in 2010 of $2.0 million, and care  trends and other net  favorable variances  of  $3.2 million.
Cost of care decreased as a percentage of  risk revenue from 80.8  percent in  2009 to 74.0 percent  in
2010 mainly due to rate increases and  business mix.

Direct Service Costs

Direct  service costs increased 30.8 percent or  $15.9 million from 2009 to 2010. The increase  in

direct service costs is mainly attributable to increased  employee compensation and benefits, and costs
associated with new business. As a percentage  of revenue,  direct service costs decreased from
16.9 percent in 2009 to 14.9 percent in  2010,  mainly due  to  business mix.

49

Specialty Pharmaceutical Management

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to the Specialty  Pharmaceutical  Management  segment increased 4.2 percent or
$10.9 million from 2009 to 2010. This  increase is  primarily  due to net increased  dispensing activity from
new and existing customers of $13.7  million, which increase  was partially offset  by  other net decreases
of $2.8 million.

Cost of Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased 7.5 percent or  $15.3 million from 2009 to 2010, primarily due to net

increased dispensing activity from new  and existing customers. As a percentage  of  the portion of net
revenue that relates to dispensing revenue,  cost of goods  sold  increased from  91.8 percent in  2009 to
93.1 percent in 2010, mainly due to business mix.

Direct Service Costs

Direct  service costs increased by 5.9  percent or $1.5 million from 2009 to  2010. This  increase is

primarily due to increased employee  compensation  and  benefits, and  expenses  to  support the
development of new products, partially offset by a reduction in stock compensation  expense. As a
percentage of revenue, direct service  costs  increased slightly from 9.6 percent in 2009 to 9.7  percent in
2010.

Medicaid Administration

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to Medicaid Administration increased 174.3  percent or $112.0  million from
2009 to the 2010. This increase is primarily the  result of the  inclusion of only five months of operating
results in  2009 due to the closing of the acquisition of First  Health Services  on July 31, 2009.

Cost of Care

Cost of care in 2010 of $23.7 million  is attributed to a subcontract  with Public Sector for Medicaid

Administration to provide pharmacy benefits  management services on a limited risk basis  for one  of
Public Sector’s customers starting September 1, 2010.

Direct Service Costs

Direct  service costs increased 126.5 percent or  $69.4 million from 2009 to  2010. This increase is

primarily the result of the inclusion of  only five months of operating results  in 2009 due to the  closing
of the acquisition of First Health Services on July 31,  2009.  As a percentage of  revenue, direct service
costs decreased from 85.4 percent in  2009  to  70.5 percent in  2010, mainly due to changes in business
mix, including the new risk based subcontract discussed above.

Corporate

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses related to the  Corporate  and  Other segment increased  by  9.0 percent or

$10.3 million from 2009 to 2010. The increase results primarily from  net  one-time unfavorable
adjustments recorded in 2010 of $4.8 million, unfavorable  employee benefit and termination costs  of
$4.2 million, and other net increases of $2.7 million, which  increases were partially offset  by  one-time
acquisition-related expenses incurred in 2009  of $1.4 million. As a percentage  of  total net revenue,

50

other operating expenses decreased slightly from 4.3  percent for  2009 to 4.2 percent  for 2010, mainly
due to business mix.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by  15.7 percent or $7.4  million from 2009  to

2010, primarily due to asset additions  after  (or  during) 2009 (inclusive of assets  related to the
acquisition of First Health Services).

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by 7.9 percent or $0.2 million from 2009 to 2010,  mainly  due  to  lower

costs associated with the 2010 Credit Facility.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased by 47.6 percent or  $3.0 million from 2009 to 2010, mainly due to lower

yields.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was  35.0 percent in  2009 and 37.7 percent in  2010. The

2009 and 2010 effective income tax rates  differ from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily  due
to state income taxes and permanent  differences between  book and tax income. The Company also
accrues interest related to unrecognized  tax benefits in its provision for  income  taxes. The effective
income tax rate in 2010 is higher than 2009 mainly due to more  significant reversals in 2009 of
valuation allowances on deferred state taxes and tax contingencies due to closure of statutes of
limitation.

2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 (‘‘2008’’)

Commercial

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to the Commercial segment increased by 0.1 percent or $0.5 million from  2008

to 2009. The increase in revenue is mainly  due to favorable rate changes of  $11.7 million, increased
membership from existing customers of $8.2  million, the  favorable  impact of contractual settlements in
2009 of $5.7 million, revenue from new contracts implemented after (or during) 2008  of  $4.3 million,
and other net favorable variances of $1.8  million, which increases  were partially offset by terminated
contracts of $26.1  million and net favorable  retroactive membership  adjustments of $5.1  million
recorded  in 2008.

Cost of Care

Cost of care increased by 1.9 percent  or $6.5 million from 2008 to 2009.  The  increase in cost of

care is primarily due to increased membership from  existing customers of $6.8 million and care  trends
and other net variances of $29.1 million, which increases were partially offset by terminated contracts
of $17.1 million, unfavorable prior period  medical claims  development recorded in  2008 of $5.1 million,
the favorable impact of contractual settlements in 2009 of  $2.7 million,  favorable prior  period medical
claims development recorded in 2009  of  $2.5  million, and favorable prior period medical claims
development for 2008 which was recorded in  2009 of $2.0 million. Cost  of care as a percentage of risk
revenue (excluding EAP revenue) increased from 76.2 percent in 2008  to  76.4 percent in  2009, mainly
due to unfavorable care trends and business mix.

51

Direct Service Costs

Direct  service costs decreased by 1.7  percent or $2.6 million from 2008 to  2009. The decrease in
direct service costs is mainly attributable to a one-time charge in  2008 of $2.5  million  associated with
legal matters. Direct service costs decreased as a  percentage of revenue from 23.8 percent in 2008 to
23.4 percent in 2009, mainly due to business mix.

Public Sector

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to Public Sector decreased by 6.2  percent or $89.5 million from  2008 to 2009.

This decrease is primarily due to the net  impact of terminated contracts offset by increased
membership from existing customers of $127.6  million, which decrease was  partially offset by higher
performance revenue in 2009 for the Maricopa Contract of $16.3 million and net favorable rate  and
contract funding changes of $21.8 million.

Cost of Care

Cost of care decreased by 5.5 percent  or $69.9 million from 2008  to  2009. This decrease is

primarily due to care associated with terminated contracts  offset by  increased membership from existing
customers of $96.1 million and favorable prior period  medical claims  development recorded in  2009 of
$2.6 million, which decreases were partially offset by care associated with rate changes for contracts
with minimum cost of care requirements of $9.4 million, favorable prior  period medical claims
development recorded in 2008 of $8.6  million, unfavorable  medical claims development for 2008 which
was recorded in 2009 of $2.4 million and care trends and other net variances of $8.4 million.  Cost of
care increased as a percentage of risk  revenue from  88.4 percent in 2008 to 89.1  percent in 2009,
mainly due to changes in business mix.

Direct Service Costs

Direct  service costs decreased by 1.6  percent or $1.1 million from 2008 to  2009. The decrease in

direct service costs is primarily due to terminated contracts,  partially offset by staffing required to
support certain contracts. As a percentage of revenue,  direct service  costs increased from 4.7 percent in
2008 to 5.0 percent in 2009 mainly due  to  changes in business mix.

Radiology Benefits Management

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to the Radiology Benefits Management  segment increased  by  3.4 percent or
$9.9 million from 2008 to 2009. This increase is  primarily  due to new contracts implemented after (or
during) 2008 of $32.4 million, favorable rate changes of $19.5  million,  favorable retroactive
membership, rate, and contractual settlements recorded in 2009 of $2.4 million, net unfavorable
retroactive membership and rate adjustments  recorded  in 2008  of $1.6 million and  other net favorable
variances of $2.9 million, which increases  were partially offset by net decreased membership from
existing customers of $39.4 million and terminated contracts of $9.5 million.

Cost of Care

Cost of care decreased by 0.9 percent  or $1.9 million from 2008  to  2009. This decrease is primarily

due to decreased membership from existing customers  of  $31.9 million, favorable  contractual
settlements in 2009 of $4.7 million, favorable prior period medical claims development  for 2008 which
was recorded in 2009 of $1.0 million, and favorable prior period claims development recorded  in 2009
of $0.8 million, which decreases were partially offset  by  new contracts implemented after 2008 of

52

$22.6 million, favorable prior period  medical  claims  development recorded in 2008 of $2.1 million, and
unfavorable care trends and other net  variances of $11.8  million. Cost of care decreased as a
percentage of risk revenue from 86.7 percent in 2008 to 80.8 percent in 2009 mainly due to favorable
rate changes, favorable contractual settlements, favorable care  development and  business  mix.

Direct Service Costs

Direct  service costs decreased 5.0 percent or $2.8 million from 2008 to 2009. This  decrease is
primarily attributed to terminated contracts. As a  percentage of  revenue, direct service costs decreased
from 18.4 percent in 2008 to 16.9 percent  in  2009, mainly due to favorable  rate changes  and favorable
contractual settlements.

Specialty Pharmaceutical Management

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to the Specialty  Pharmaceutical  Management  segment increased 13.7 percent

or $31.2 million from 2008 to 2009. This increase is primarily due  to  net increased dispensing activity
from new and existing customers of $26.1 million, and increased contracting  and formulary optimization
revenue from new and existing customers of $5.1 million (including $0.7  million  of  retroactive
formulary optimization revenue recorded in 2009).

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased 12.1 percent or  $22.0 million from 2008 to 2009, primarily due to net

increased dispensing activity from new  and existing customers. As a percentage  of  the portion of net
revenue that relates to dispensing revenue,  cost of goods  sold  decreased  from  92.7 percent in  2008 to
91.8 percent in 2009, mainly due to business mix.

Direct Service Costs

Direct  service costs decreased by 2.8  percent or $0.7 million from 2008 to  2009. This  decrease is
primarily due to the decrease in stock  compensation expense,  partially offset by expenses required  to
support the aforementioned increases  to  revenue. As a percentage  of revenue, direct  service  costs
decreased from 11.2 percent in 2008  to  9.6  percent in 2009,  mainly due  to  decreased stock
compensation expense and increased dispensing revenue.

Medicaid Administration

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to Medicaid Administration was $64.3 million for  the period  from August 1,

2009 through December 31, 2009. The  acquisition of First Health Services  closed  on July 31, 2009 and
thus  2008 does not include any operating results for this segment of the Company.

Direct Service Costs

Direct  service costs were $54.9 million for the period  from August 1,  2009 thru December 31,

2009. As a percentage of revenue, direct  service costs were  85.4 percent in  such period.

Corporate

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses related to the  Corporate  and  Other segment decreased  by  7.0 percent or
$8.6 million from 2008 to 2009. The  decrease  results primarily from expenses incurred  in 2008 pursuant

53

to the provisions of the former Chief  Executive Officer’s employment agreement of  $10.1 million
(including $5.4 million of stock compensation expense related to the accelerated vesting for  certain
equity awards), and net one-time expenses  incurred in 2008 of  $1.7 million,  which increases  were
partially offset by one-time acquisition-related  expenses incurred in 2009  of  $1.4 million, and  net other
unfavorable variances of $1.8 million. As a  percentage of  total net revenue, other operating expenses
decreased from 4.7 percent for 2008 to  4.3 percent for 2009,  primarily due to prior  year  expenses
incurred pursuant to the former Chief  Executive  Officer’s employment  agreement.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased  by  22.3 percent or $13.5 million from 2008  to
2009, primarily due to assets that became  fully depreciated  as of December 31,  2008, partially offset by
asset additions after 2008 (inclusive of  assets related to the acquisition of  First Health Services).

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by 14.8 percent or $0.4  million  from  2008 to 2009,  mainly  due  to

reductions in outstanding debt balances  as a result scheduled  debt payments.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased by 63.3 percent or  $10.8 million from 2008 to 2009, mainly due to lower

invested balances and lower yields.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was  38.5 percent in  2008 and 35.0 percent in  2009. The

2008 and 2009 effective income tax rates  differ from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily  due
to state income taxes and permanent  differences between  book and tax income. The Company also
accrues interest related to unrecognized  tax benefits in its provision for  income  taxes. The effective
income tax rate in 2009 is lower than  2008 mainly due to more significant reversals in  2009 of valuation
allowances on deferred state taxes and tax contingencies due to closure of statutes of limitation.

Outlook—Results of Operations

The Company’s Segment Profit and net income are subject to significant fluctuations from period

to period. These fluctuations may result from a variety of factors such as those set forth  under
Item 1A—‘‘Risk Factors’’ as well as a variety  of other factors including: (i)  changes in utilization  levels
by enrolled members of the Company’s  risk-based contracts, including seasonal utilization patterns;
(ii) contractual adjustments and settlements; (iii) retrospective membership adjustments; (iv) timing of
implementation of new contracts, enrollment changes and contract terminations; (v) pricing adjustments
upon contract renewals (and price competition in general); and (vi)  changes in estimates regarding
medical costs and IBNR.

A portion of the Company’s business is subject to rising care costs due to an increase in the
number and frequency of covered members seeking behavioral  healthcare or radiology  services, and
higher  costs per inpatient day or outpatient  visit for behavioral services, and higher  costs per scan for
radiology services. Many of these factors  are beyond the  Company’s control. Future results of
operations will be heavily dependent  on management’s ability to obtain customer rate  increases that are
consistent with care cost increases and/or  to reduce  operating expenses.

In relation to the managed behavioral  healthcare business, the Company  is a  market leader  in a

mature market with many viable competitors. The Company  is continuing its  attempts  to  grow  its
business in the managed behavioral healthcare  industry  through aggressive  marketing  and development

54

of new products; however, due to the  maturity of the market, the  Company believes that the  ability to
grow its current business lines may be  limited. In addition, as previously discussed, substantially all of
the Company’s Commercial segment  revenues are derived from Blue Cross  Blue Shield  health  plans
and other managed care companies, health  insurers  and  health  plans.  Certain  of the managed  care
customers of the Company have decided not to renew  all or part of their contracts with the  Company,
and to instead manage the behavioral healthcare  services  directly for their  subscribers.

Care  Trends. The Company expects that the Commercial care trend factor for 2011 will be 7 to

9 percent, the Public Sector care trend factor for 2011  will be 2 to 4  percent  and the  Radiology
Benefits Management care trend for  2011 will be 4  to  6 percent.

Interest Rate Risk. Changes in interest rates affect interest income earned  on the Company’s  cash
equivalents and investments, as well as interest expense on variable interest  rate borrowings  under the
Company’s 2010 Credit Facility. Based  on the amount of cash  equivalents and investments  and the
borrowing levels under the 2010 Credit Facility as of December 31, 2010,  a hypothetical 10 percent
increase  or decrease in the interest rate associated with  these instruments,  with all other variables held
constant, would not materially affect the Company’s future earnings  and cash outflows.

Historical—Liquidity and Capital Resources

2010 compared to 2009

Operating Activities. The Company reported net cash provided  by operating activities of

$218.6 million and $308.9 million for  2009 and 2010, respectively. Both years were positively impacted
by the shift of restricted funds between  cash and  investments that resulted in operating  cash flow
sources  directly offset by investing cash  flow uses,  with  $38.5  million and $36.7 million  of restricted cash
shifted to restricted investments in 2009 and 2010,  respectively. The  $90.3 million increase in  operating
cash  flows  from  2009  to  2010  is  primarily  attributable  to  the  increase  in  Segment  Profit  and  net
favorable working capital changes between years largely related to growth in the Company’s business
segments (including the build of medical claims payable  balances and other contract liabilities
associated with new contracts), partially  offset by higher tax payments. Segment Profit for 2010
increased $63.9 million compared to  2009. Net  favorable year over year working capital changes were
primarily attributable to the build of  medical claims  payable balances  and other contract liabilities
associated with new contracts. Tax payments in 2010  were $45.3 million higher than 2009, mostly due to
the Company’s utilization of the majority of its NOLs prior to 2010.

During  2010, the Company’s restricted cash decreased  $42.9 million. The decrease is attributable to
a reduction in restricted cash of $4.1 million associated  with  the Company’s regulated entities, the shift
of restricted cash to restricted investments  of $36.7 million and other net  decreases of $2.1  million. In
regards to the decrease in restricted  cash  for the Company’s regulated entities, $11.8 million is  offset by
changes in other assets and liabilities, primarily accounts receivable,  accrued liabilities, medical claims
payable and other medical liabilities,  thus  having no impact on operating cash flows. Partially offsetting
these net reductions is the net funding  of $7.7 million in additional restricted  cash associated with the
Company’s regulated entities.

Investing Activities. The Company utilized $33.2 million and  $46.2 million  during 2009  and 2010,

respectively, for capital expenditures.  The  majority of the increase in capital expenditures of
$13.0 million is attributable to management information systems and related equipment, with  significant
current year expenditures related to the  Medicaid Administration segment. The Company also used
cash of $0.8 million and $64.3 million for  the net  purchase of  ‘‘available-for-sale’’ investments during
2009 and 2010, respectively. During 2009,  the Company paid $115.4 million for the acquisition of First
Health Services, excluding cash acquired of $2.0 million but including payment  of $7.4 million for
excess working capital.

55

Financing Activities. During 2009, the Company paid $89.7 million for the repurchase of treasury

stock under the Company’s share repurchase program  and had other net financing cash  flow uses of
$0.2 million. In addition, the Company received  $2.6 million from the exercise of stock options and
warrants and obtained tax benefits of  $2.9 million from  the  exercise  of  stock options and  vesting of
stock awards.

During 2010, the Company paid $149.8 million  for the repurchase of treasury stock under the

Company’s share repurchase program, paid $1.1 million  related to capital lease obligations,  and had
other  net financing cash flow  uses of $0.9 million. In  addition, the Company  received $92.9 million
from the exercise of stock options and warrants and obtained tax benefits of  $1.1 million from the
exercise of stock options and vesting of stock awards.

2009 compared to 2008

Operating Activities. The Company reported net cash provided by operating  activities of
$268.3 million and $218.6 million for  2008 and 2009,  respectively. The $49.7 million decrease  in
operating cash flows from 2008 to 2009  is  primarily attributable  to  the shift of restricted funds between
cash and investments, which results in  an  operating cash flow change that is  directly offset by an
investing cash flow change. During 2008,  $109.2 million of restricted cash was shifted to restricted
investments as compared to 2009, in which $38.5  million of restricted cash was shifted to restricted
investments, resulting in a net decrease in operating cash  flows between periods  of $70.7 million. Also
contributing to the decrease in operating  cash flows  is  the decrease in  interest income of  $10.8 million
from 2008 to 2009. Partially offsetting  these  items  is  the year  over year reduction in the funding of
restricted cash for a risk radiology contract of $11.7  million, the increase in segment profit of
$7.6 million from 2008, the release of restricted cash in 2009 of $7.1  million  associated with a contract
that terminated in 2007 and other net favorable  items of $5.4 million.

During  2009, the Company’s restricted cash decreased $32.7 million. The change in restricted cash
is attributable to the shift of restricted  cash of $38.5 million to restricted investments and the reduction
in restricted cash of $7.1 million associated with a contract  that terminated in 2007, partially offset  by
an increase in restricted cash of $9.5  million associated with the Company’s regulated entities  and other
net increases of $3.4 million. The majority  of  the increase in restricted cash for  the Company’s
regulated entities is related to funding to satisfy increased  equity requirements.

Investing Activities. The Company utilized $36.3 million and $33.2 million during 2008  and 2009,

respectively, for capital expenditures.  The  majority of the  capital expenditures for 2008 and 2009 are
related to management information systems and related equipment. The Company used net cash of
$176.0 million and $0.8 million for the  net purchase of  ‘‘available for sale’’ investments during  2008 and
2009, respectively.

During  2008, the Company made the final working capital payment of $0.4 million related to the

acquisition of ICORE and settled the $25.0  million  deferred payment associated  with the acquisition of
ICORE. During 2009, the Company acquired  First Health  Services for $115.4 million  (which is net of
cash acquired as of the close date of $2.0 million).

Financing Activities. During 2008, the Company had $14.0 million  of debt  and  capital lease
payments, paid $136.2 million for the repurchase  of  Company stock in accordance with its share
buy-back program and had other net  financing  cash flow uses of $1.3  million.  In  addition, the  Company
received $12.9 million from the exercise of stock options and  warrants, and obtained tax benefits of
$7.5 million from the exercise of stock  options and vesting  of stock  awards.

During  2009,  the  Company  paid  $89.7  million  for  the  repurchase  of  treasury  stock  under  the
Company’s share repurchase program and had other net financing cash flow  uses of $0.2 million.  In

56

addition, the Company received $2.6  million from  the exercise of  stock options and warrants  and
obtained tax benefits of $2.9 million from  the exercise of stock options and vesting of stock awards.

Outlook—Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. During 2011, the Company expects to  fund  its estimated capital expenditures of $47  to

$57 million with cash from operations.  The  Company does not anticipate that it will need  to  draw on
amounts available under the 2010 Credit Facility for cash  flow needs related to its operations, capital
needs or debt service in 2011. The Company also  currently expects to have adequate  liquidity to satisfy
its  existing financial commitments over  the periods in  which they  will become due. The  Company plans
to maintain its current investment strategy of  investing in a diversified, high  quality, liquid  portfolio  of
investments  and  continues  to  closely  monitor  the  situation  in  the  financial  markets.  The  Company
estimates that it has no risk of any material permanent  loss on its investment portfolio; however, there
can be no assurance that the Company  will not experience any such losses  in the future.

(1) Operating lease obligations include estimated future lease payments for both open and  closed

offices.

(2) These letters of credit typically act  as  a guarantee of payment  to  certain third  parties in accordance

with specified terms and conditions.

(3) Purchase commitments include open purchase orders as of December  31, 2010 relating to ongoing

capital expenditure and operational activities.

(4) The Company is unable to make  a reasonably  reliable estimate of the period of the  cash
settlement with the respective taxing authorities for the  $111.6 million balance of its tax
contingency reserves. See further discussion in  Note 7—‘‘Income Taxes’’  to  the consolidated
financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

In addition to the contractual obligations and commitments discussed above, the Company has a

variety of other contractual agreements related to acquiring materials and services used in  the
Company’s operations. However, the Company  does not believe  these other agreements contain
material noncancelable commitments.

Stock Repurchases

On July 30, 2008 the Company’s board of directors approved  a stock repurchase plan which

authorized the Company to purchase  up to $200 million of its outstanding common  stock  through
January 31, 2010. Stock repurchases  under the program could be executed through open market

57

repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share  repurchases or other means. The board
of directors authorized management to execute stock repurchase  transactions under the program from
time to time and in such amounts and  via such methods  as management deemed appropriate. The
stock repurchase program could be limited  or terminated  at  any time without  prior notice. Pursuant to
this  program, the Company made open market purchases of  3,866,505 shares  of  the Company’s
common stock at an aggregate cost of  $136.0 million (excluding broker commissions) during the year
ended December 31, 2008 and made open market purchases of  1,859,959 shares  of the Company’s
common stock at an average share price  of  $34.39 per share  for  an aggregate cost  of $64.0 million
(excluding broker commissions) during  the period January 1,  2009 through  April 7, 2009, which was the
date  that the repurchase program was  completed, the  $200 million authorization having been
exhausted.

On July 28, 2009 the Company’s board of directors approved  a stock repurchase plan which

authorized the Company to purchase  up to $100 million of its outstanding common  stock  through
July 28, 2011. Stock repurchases under  the program could  be  executed  through  open market
repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share  repurchases or other means. The board
of directors authorized management to execute stock repurchase  transactions under the program from
time to time and in such amounts and  via such methods  as management deemed appropriate. The
stock repurchase program could be limited  or terminated  at  any time without  prior notice. Pursuant to
this  program, the Company made open market purchases of  782,400 shares  of the Company’s  common
stock at an average price of $32.75 per  share for  an aggregate  cost of $25.6 million (excluding broker
commissions) during the period from August  17, 2009  through December  31, 2009. Pursuant to this
program, the Company made open market purchases  of  1,711,881 shares of the Company’s common
stock at an average price of $43.46 per  share for  an aggregate  cost of $74.4 million (excluding broker
commissions) during the period January 1,  2010 through April 1, 2010,  which was the  date that the
repurchase program was completed, the  $100 million authorization having been  exhausted.

On July 27, 2010 the Company’s board of directors approved  a stock repurchase plan which
authorizes the Company to purchase up  to $350 million of its outstanding common stock through
July 28, 2012. On February 18, 2011,  the Company’s board of directors  increased  the stock repurchase
program by an additional $100 million.  Stock repurchases under the program may be executed through
open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases or  other
means. The board of directors authorized  management to execute  stock repurchase transactions from
time to time and in such amounts and  via such methods  as management deems appropriate. The stock
repurchase program may be limited or  terminated at  any time without prior notice. Pursuant to this
program, the Company made open market purchases  of  1,684,510 shares of the Company’s common
stock at an average price of $48.36 per  share for  an aggregate  cost of $81.5 million (excluding broker
commissions) during the period from November 3, 2010 through December 31, 2010.

During  the period from January 1, 2011 through  February 23, 2011, the Company made  additional

open market purchases of 1,251,263 shares  of  the Company’s common  stock  at an  aggregate  cost of
$61.7 million, excluding broker commissions.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On January 28, 2011, the Company and Blue Shield  of  California  (‘‘Blue Shield’’) entered  into  a

Share Purchase Agreement (the ‘‘Share  Purchase  Agreement’’) pursuant to which on January 31,  2011
Blue  Shield  purchased  416,840  shares  of  the  Company’s  common  stock  (the  ‘‘Shares’’)  for  a  total
purchase price of $20 million. The Shares were  issued  to  Blue Shield, an accredited investor,  in a
private  placement pursuant to Regulation  D of the  Securities Act. Blue Shield  has agreed not to
transfer such Shares for a two year period, except  in the event  of  any change in control of the
Company as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement.  The purchase price for the Shares issued was

58

determined  taking  into  account  the  recent  trading  price  of  the  Company’s  common  stock  on  NASDAQ
and the restrictions on transfer of the Shares agreed to by  Blue Shield.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has  no material

off-balance sheet arrangements.

2010 Credit Facility. On April 28, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2009
Credit  Facility with Deutsche Bank AG,  Citibank, N.A., and Bank of  America, N.A.  that  provided for
an $80.0 million Revolving Loan Commitment for the issuance of letters of credit for  the account of
the Company with a sublimit of up to $30.0 million for revolving loans  (the ‘‘2010  Credit  Facility’’).
Borrowings under the 2010 Credit Facility mature on  April 28, 2013. The 2010 Credit Facility is
guaranteed by substantially all of the subsidiaries of the  Company and  is secured by substantially all of
the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors.

Under the 2010 Credit Facility, the annual  interest  rate  on Revolving  Loan borrowings is equal  to

(i) in the case of U.S. dollar denominated loans,  the sum of a borrowing margin of  1.75 percent plus
the higher of the prime rate or one-half of one percent  in excess of the overnight ‘‘federal funds’’ rate,
or (ii) in the case of Eurodollar denominated loans,  the sum  of a borrowing margin  of  2.75 percent
plus the Eurodollar rate for the selected  interest period. The Company has the option to borrow in
U.S. dollar denominated loans or Eurodollar denominated loans  at  its  discretion. Letters of Credit
issued under the Revolving Loan Commitment bear interest at the rate of 2.875 percent.  The
commitment commission on the 2010 Credit Facility is  0.50 percent of  the  unused Revolving Loan
Commitment.

Restrictive Covenants in Debt Agreements. The 2010 Credit Facility contains covenants that limit

management’s discretion in operating the  Company’s business by restricting or  limiting the Company’s
ability, among other things, to:

(cid:127) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred or  redeemable stock;

(cid:127) pay dividends and make other distributions;

(cid:127) repurchase equity interests;

(cid:127) make certain advances, investments and loans;

(cid:127) enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

(cid:127) create liens;

(cid:127) sell and otherwise dispose of assets;

(cid:127) acquire or merge or consolidate with another  company; and

(cid:127) enter into some types of transactions  with affiliates.

These restrictions could adversely affect the Company’s ability to finance future  operations or

capital needs or engage in other business  activities that  may be in the  Company’s interest.

The 2010 Credit Facility also requires the  Company to comply with specified financial ratios  and

tests. Failure to do so, unless waived by  the lenders under the 2010  Credit Facility  pursuant to its
terms, would result in an event of default under  the 2010 Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2010, the
Company was in compliance with all  covenants, including financial covenants,  under the  2010 Credit
Facility.

Although the 2010 Credit Facility expires on April 28, 2013,  the Company believes it  will be able

to obtain a new facility or, if not, to  use cash on hand to fund  letters of credit  and other liquidity
needs.

59

Net Operating Loss Carryforwards. The Company estimates that it has reportable federal NOLs  as
of December 31, 2010 of approximately $5.5  million  available  to  reduce future federal  taxable  income.
These estimated NOLs, if not used, expire  in 2011 through 2019 and are subject to examination and
adjustment by the IRS. In addition, the Company’s utilization of such NOLs  is subject to limitation
under Section 382, which affects the  timing of the use of these NOLs.  At this time,  the Company does
not believe these limitations will limit  the Company’s ability  to  use any  federal  NOLs before they
expire.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company’s  valuation  allowances against deferred tax assets were

$5.3 million, mostly relating to uncertainties regarding the eventual realization  of  certain state NOLs.
Determination of the amount of deferred tax  assets considered  realizable requires significant judgment
and estimation. Changes in these estimates in  the future  could materially affect the  Company’s financial
condition and results of operations.

Recent  Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’)  issued Statement of Financial

Accounting Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No.  167,  ‘‘Amendments  to FASB  Interpretation  No. 46R’’. This
statement has been incorporated into FASB  Accounting Standards Codification (‘‘ASC’’) 810
‘‘Consolidation’’ (‘‘ASC 810’’) and amends  FASB Interpretation  No. 46 (revised  December 2003),
‘‘Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities’’ to require an analysis  to  determine whether  a variable
interest gives the entity a controlling financial interest in a  variable interest  entity. This  statement
requires an ongoing reassessment and  eliminates the quantitative approach  previously required for
determining whether an entity is the primary  beneficiary. This statement  was effective for  fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2009. Accordingly, the Company  adopted ASC 810 on January 1,  2010.
The adoption of this standard did not have a material  impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, (‘‘ASU’’), No. 2010-06,

‘‘Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements’’, (‘‘ASU 2010-06’’). ASU  2010-06 amends  ASC
Topic 820, ‘‘Fair Value Measurements and  Disclosures’’, to require  a  number of  additional disclosures
regarding fair value measurements. Effective January 1, 2010, ASU  2010-06 requires disclosure  of the
amounts of significant transfers between  Level I and  Level II  and  the  reasons  for such transfers, the
reasons for any transfers in or out of Level III, and  disclosure of the policy for determining when
transfers between levels are recognized.  ASU  2010-06 also clarified that disclosures  should be provided
for each  class of assets and liabilities and clarified the  requirement to disclose information about  the
valuation techniques and inputs used in  estimating  Level II and  Level III measurements. Beginning
January 1, 2011, ASU 2010-06 also requires  that information in the reconciliation of  recurring Level III
measurements about purchases, sales,  issuances  and  settlements be provided on a  gross basis. The
adoption of ASU 2010-06 only required additional  disclosures and did  not have an impact on the
consolidated financial statements. As  the Company does  not  have significant  transfers between Levels,
no additional disclosures were necessary.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market  Risk

Changes in interest rates affect interest income  earned on the Company’s  cash equivalents and

restricted cash and investments, as well  as interest expense on variable interest rate borrowings under
the 2010 Credit Facility. Based on the Company’s investment  balances,  and  the borrowing levels  under
the 2010 Credit Facility as of December 31,  2010, a hypothetical 10 percent  increase or decrease  in the
interest rate associated with these instruments, with all  other variables held constant, would not
materially affect the Company’s future earnings  and  cash outflows.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management evaluated, with the  participation of the Company’s principal executive

and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of the  Company’s disclosure controls  and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act  of  1934, as amended
(the ‘‘Exchange Act’’)), as of December  31, 2010. Based on their evaluation, management  has
concluded that the Company’s disclosure  controls and procedures were effective as of  December 31,
2010.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

In the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010,  there have been no  changes in the  Company’s

internal controls over financial reporting that  have materially  affected, or are  reasonably likely  to
materially affect, the Company’s internal  controls  over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL  OVER  FINANCIAL  REPORTING

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting (as defined  in Rule  13a-15(f)  under the  Securities  Exchange Act of
1934, as amended). The Company’s internal control  system was designed to provide  reasonable
assurance regarding the preparation  and fair presentation  of published financial statements. Because  of
its  inherent limitations, internal control  over financial reporting  may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future  periods are subject to the
risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes  in conditions, or that the  degree  of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision  and with the
participation of management, including the  Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, the Company assessed the effectiveness  of internal control over  financial reporting  as of
December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the  criteria set forth by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations  of  the Treadway Commission (‘‘COSO’’) in its statement
‘‘Internal Control-Integrated Framework.’’

Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of  December 31, 2010, internal

control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has  issued an audit report on  the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting. This report dated February 25, 2011 appears on
page 62 of this Form 10-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public  Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of  Magellan Health Services, Inc.

We  have audited Magellan Health Services, Inc.’s (‘‘the Company’’) internal control over financial

reporting as of December 31, 2010, based  on  criteria established  in Internal  Control—Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of  Sponsoring  Organizations of the Treadway Commission  (‘‘the
COSO criteria’’). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting, and for its assessment of  the effectiveness of internal  control over financial
reporting included in Management’s  Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion  on  the Company’s internal control over financial  reporting based
on our audit.

We  conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of  the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those  standards require that we  plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether  effective  internal control over financial reporting was maintained
in all material respects. Our audit included  obtaining an understanding  of internal control  over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a  material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control based  on the assessed risk, and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in  the circumstances. We believe  that  our audit provides  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide  reasonable

assurance regarding the reliability of  financial  reporting and the preparation  of  financial  statements  for
external  purposes in accordance with  generally accepted accounting  principles. A company’s internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable  detail, accurately and fairly reflect the  transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable  assurance that transactions are
recorded  as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in  accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made  only
in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and  (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention  or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that  could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over  financial  reporting may not prevent or

detect misstatements. Also, projections  of any evaluation  of  effectiveness to future periods are  subject
to the risk that controls may become inadequate  because of changes in conditions, or  that  the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal  control  over

financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,  based on the COSO criteria.

We  also have audited, in accordance  with the standards of  the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the  consolidated balance sheets of Magellan  Health Services, Inc. as
of  December 31,  2009  and  2010,  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  income,  changes  in
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for  each of the three years  in the period ended December 31,  2010
of Magellan Health Services, Inc. and  our report dated February 25, 2011 expressed an  unqualified
opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public  Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of  Magellan Health Services, Inc.

We  have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Magellan  Health Services, Inc.

and subsidiaries (‘‘the Company’’) as  of December 31,  2009 and  2010, and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in stockholders’  equity, and cash  flows for  each of  the three years in  the
period ended December 31, 2010. Our audits also  included the  financial  statement schedule  of the
Company for the years ended December 31, 2008,  2009, and  2010 as listed in  the Index at  Item 15(a)2.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our  responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our  audits.

We  conducted our audits in accordance with the standards  of  the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those  standards require that we  plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether  the  financial  statements are free  of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence  supporting the amounts and disclosures  in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting  principles used  and significant
estimates made by management, as well as  evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable  basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2010

1. General

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of  Magellan  Health  Services, Inc., a Delaware  corporation
(‘‘Magellan’’), include the accounts of  Magellan,  its majority owned subsidiaries and all variable interest
entities (‘‘VIEs’’) for which Magellan  is  the primary beneficiary (together with Magellan, the
‘‘Company’’). All significant intercompany  accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Business Overview

The Company is engaged in the specialty managed healthcare business. Through 2005, the

Company predominantly operated in  the managed behavioral healthcare business. As a result of certain
aquisitions, the Company expanded into radiology  benefits management and specialty pharmaceutical
management during 2006, and into Medicaid administration during  2009. The Company  provides
services to health plans, insurance companies, employers, labor unions and various governmental
agencies. The Company’s business is divided into the following six segments, based on the services it
provides and/or the customers that it  serves,  as described below.

Managed Behavioral Healthcare

Two of the Company’s segments are in  the managed behavioral healthcare business. This line of
business generally reflects the Company’s  coordination  and management of the delivery of behavioral
healthcare treatment services that are provided  through its contracted network of  third-party treatment
providers, which includes psychiatrists,  psychologists, other behavioral health professionals, psychiatric
hospitals, general medical facilities with psychiatric beds,  residential  treatment centers and other
treatment facilities. The treatment services provided through the Company’s provider network include
outpatient programs (such as counseling or therapy),  intermediate care programs (such as  intensive
outpatient programs and partial hospitalization  services),  inpatient treatment and crisis intervention
services. The Company generally does not  directly  provide, or own any provider of, treatment services
except as related to the Company’s contract to provide managed behavioral healthcare services to
Medicaid recipients and other beneficiaries of the Maricopa County  Regional  Behavioral Health
Authority (the ‘‘Maricopa Contract’’).  Under the Maricopa Contract, effective August 31, 2007 the
Company was required to assume the  operations of twenty-four behavioral health direct care facilities
for a transitional period and to divest  itself of  these facilities over a two year period. All of the direct
care facilities were divested as of December 31,  2009.

The Company provides its management services  primarily through: (i) risk-based products, where

the Company assumes all or a substantial portion of  the responsibility for the cost  of providing
treatment services in exchange for a fixed per member per  month fee, (ii) administrative services only
(‘‘ASO’’) products, where the Company provides services such as utilization review, claims
administration and/or provider network management, but does not assume responsibility for the cost of
the treatment services, and (iii) employee  assistance programs  (‘‘EAPs’’) where the Company provides
short-term outpatient behavioral counseling services.

1. General (Continued)

The managed behavioral healthcare business is managed  based on the services provided and/or the

customers served, through the following  two segments:

Commercial. The Managed Behavioral Healthcare Commercial  segment (‘‘Commercial’’)
generally reflects managed behavioral healthcare services and EAP  services provided  under contracts
with health plans and insurance companies for some or  all of their  commercial, Medicaid and Medicare
members, as well as with employers,  including corporations,governmental  agencies, and labor unions.
Commercial’s contracts encompass risk-based,  ASO and EAP arrangements.

Public Sector. The Managed Behavioral Healthcare  Public Sector segment (‘‘Public  Sector’’)
generally  reflects services provided to recipients under Medicaid and  other state  sponsored programs
under contracts with state and local governmental agencies. Public Sector contracts encompass either
risk-based or ASO arrangements.

Radiology Benefits Management

The Radiology Benefits Management segment (‘‘Radiology Benefits Management’’) generally
reflects the management of the delivery of diagnostic imaging services  to  ensure that such services are
clinically appropriate and cost effective. The Company’s radiology benefits management services
currently are  provided under contracts  with health plans and  insurance companies  for some or all of
their commercial, Medicaid and Medicare members.  The Company also contracts  with state  and local
governmental agencies for the provision  of such services to Medicaid  recipients. The Company  offers  its
radiology benefits management services through risk-based contracts,  where  the Company assumes  all
or a substantial portion of the responsibility  for the cost of providing  diagnostic  imaging services, and
through  ASO contracts, where the Company provides services such  as utilization review  and claims
administration, but does not assume responsibility for the  cost of the imaging services.

Specialty Pharmaceutical Management

The Specialty Pharmaceutical Management  segment (‘‘Specialty  Pharmaceutical  Management’’)

comprises programs that manage specialty drugs used in the treatment of complex conditions  such as,
cancer, multiple sclerosis, hemophilia,  infertility, rheumatoid  arthritis, chronic forms of hepatitis  and
other  diseases. Specialty pharmaceutical drugs represent  high-cost  injectible, infused,  oral,  or inhaled
drugs with sensitive handling or storage needs, many of which may be physician administered. Patients
receiving these drugs require greater amounts  of  clinical  support than those  taking more traditional
agents. Payors require clinical, financial and  technological support to maximize the value delivered to
their members using these expensive agents. The Company’s specialty pharmaceutical management
services are provided under contracts with health plans, insurance companies, and  governmental
agencies for some or all of their commercial, Medicare  and Medicaid members. The Company’s
specialty pharmaceutical services include: (i) contracting and  formulary optimization programs;
(ii) specialty pharmaceutical dispensing operations; (iii) strategic consulting services;  and (iv) medical
pharmacy management programs.

Medicaid Administration

The Medicaid Administration segment  (‘‘Medicaid  Administration’’) generally reflects  integrated

clinical management services  provided to the  public sector to manage Medicaid pharmacy, mental
health and long-term care programs. The  primary focus of the Company’s Medicaid Administration unit
involves providing pharmacy benefits  administration  (‘‘PBA’’) services under contracts with states to
Medicaid and other state sponsored  program recipients. Medicaid Administration’s contracts encompass
Fee-For-Service (‘‘FFS’’) arrangements. In addition to Medicaid Administration’s FFS  contracts,
effective September 1, 2010, Public Sector  has subcontracted with  Medicaid Administration to provide
pharmacy benefits management services on  a limited risk basis for one of Public Sector’s customers.

Corporate

This segment of the Company is comprised primarily of operational support  functions such as sales

and marketing and information technology, as well as corporate  support functions such as executive,
finance, human resources and legal.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued Statement of Financial

Accounting Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No.  167,  ‘‘Amendments to FASB  Interpretation No. 46R’’. This
statement has been incorporated into FASB  Accounting Standards Codification (‘‘ASC’’) 810
‘‘Consolidation’’ (‘‘ASC 810’’) and amends  FASB Interpretation  No. 46 (revised  December 2003),
‘‘Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities’’ to require an analysis to determine whether a variable
interest gives the entity a controlling financial interest  in a variable interest  entity. This statement
requires an ongoing reassessment and  eliminates the  quantitative approach previously required for
determining whether an entity is the primary beneficiary.  This statement  was effective for  fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2009. Accordingly, the Company  adopted ASC 810 on January 1, 2010.
The adoption of this standard did not have  a material  impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, (‘‘ASU’’), No. 2010-06,

‘‘Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements’’, (‘‘ASU 2010-06’’). ASU  2010-06 amends  ASC
Topic 820, ‘‘Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures’’,  to  require a  number of additional disclosures
regarding fair value measurements. Effective January 1, 2010, ASU  2010-06 requires disclosure  of the
amounts of significant transfers between  Level I and Level II and the  reasons  for such transfers, the
reasons for any transfers in or out of Level III, and disclosure of the policy for determining when
transfers between levels are recognized.  ASU  2010-06 also clarified that disclosures should be provided
for each  class of assets and liabilities and clarified the  requirement to disclose information about  the
valuation techniques and inputs used in  estimating  Level II and  Level III measurements. Beginning
January 1, 2011, ASU 2010-06 also requires that information in the reconciliation of recurring Level III
measurements about purchases, sales,  issuances and  settlements be provided on a  gross basis. The
adoption of ASU 2010-06 only required additional  disclosures and did  not have an impact on the
consolidated financial statements. As  the Company does  not have significant  transfers between Levels,
no additional disclosures were necessary.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted

in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the  reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and the  disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported  amounts of revenue  and  expenses during the reporting period.
Significant estimates of the Company include, among  other  things, accounts receivable realization,
valuation allowances for deferred tax  assets, valuation  of  goodwill and  intangible assets, medical claims
payable, other medical liabilities, stock  compensation assumptions, tax contingencies and  legal liabilities.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Managed Care Revenue

Managed care revenue, inclusive of revenue from the Company’s risk, EAP and ASO contracts, is

recognized over the applicable coverage  period  on a per member  basis for covered  members. The
Company is paid a per member fee for all enrolled members,  and this fee is recorded as revenue in the
month in  which members are entitled  to  service. The Company  adjusts  its revenue for retroactive
membership terminations, additions and other changes, when such adjustments are identified, with the
exception of retroactivity that can be  reasonably  estimated.  The impact of retroactive rate amendments
is generally recorded in the accounting  period  that terms to the amendment are finalized,  and that the
amendment is executed. Any fees paid  prior to the month of service  are recorded as deferred revenue.
Managed care revenues approximated $2.2 billion, $2.2  billion and $2.4 billion for the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Fee-For-Service and Cost-Plus Contracts

The Company has certain FFS contracts, including cost-plus contracts, with customers under  which

the Company recognizes revenue as services  are performed and as costs are incurred. Revenues from
these contracts approximated $36.1 million, $104.4 million and $192.9 million for the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Block Grant Revenues

The Maricopa Contract is partially funded by federal, state and county block grant money, which
represents annual appropriations. The  Company recognizes revenue from block grant activity ratably
over the period to which the block grant  funding applies. Block grant  revenues were approximately
$120.0 million, $106.6 million and $109.1  million  for the years ended December 31,  2008, 2009 and
2010, respectively.

Dispensing Revenue

The Company recognizes dispensing revenue, which  includes the co-payments received from

members of the health plans the Company serves,  when the specialty pharmaceutical drugs are shipped.
At the time of shipment, the earnings  process is complete; the obligation of the Company’s customer to
pay for the specialty pharmaceutical drugs is fixed, and,  due to the  nature of the product, the member
may neither return the specialty pharmaceutical  drugs  nor receive a refund.  Revenues  from the

F-10

MAGELLAN HEALTH SERVICES, INC. AND  SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2010

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

dispensing of specialty pharmaceutical  drugs  on behalf of  health  plans were $195.6 million,
$221.6 million and $234.8 million for  the  years  ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Performance-Based Revenue

The Company has the ability to earn  performance-based revenue under certain  risk and non-risk

contracts. Performance-based revenue  generally is based on either the ability of the  Company to
manage care for its clients below specified targets, or on other operating metrics. For each such
contract, the Company estimates and  records performance-based revenue after considering the relevant
contractual terms and the data available for the performance-based revenue calculation.  Pro-rata
performance-based revenue is recognized on an interim basis pursuant to the rights and obligations of
each  party upon termination of the contracts.  Performance-based revenues were $13.4 million,
$7.6 million and $13.1 million for the  years  ended December 31, 2008,  2009 and 2010, respectively.

Significant Customers

Consolidated Company

The Company’s contracts with the State of Tennessee’s TennCare program (‘‘TennCare’’) generated

net revenues that exceeded, in the aggregate,  ten percent  of net revenues for the consolidated
Company for the year ended December 31, 2008. The  Company recorded net  revenues of
$282.4 million and $36.8 million for the  years  ended December 31, 2008 and 2009,  respectively, from  its
TennCare contracts. The Company’s TennCare  contracts terminated at various  dates from  April 1, 2007
through August 31, 2009.

The Maricopa Contract generated net revenues that exceeded,  in the aggregate,  ten percent of net

revenues  for  the  consolidated  Company  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2008,  2009  and  2010.
Pursuant to the Maricopa Contract, the  Company provides behavioral healthcare management and
other related services to approximately 719,000 members in Maricopa County, Arizona. Under the
Maricopa Contract, the Company is responsible for  providing covered behavioral health services to
persons eligible under Title XIX (Medicaid) and Title XXI (State Children’s Health  Insurance
Program) of the Social Security Act, non-Title XIX and non-Title XXI eligible  children and  adults with
a serious mental illness, and to certain non-Title XIX and  non-Title XXI adults with behavioral health
or substance abuse disorders.  The Maricopa Contract  began  on September 1, 2007 and extends through
June 30, 2012 unless sooner terminated by the parties. The State of Arizona has the right to terminate
the Maricopa Contract for cause, as defined, upon ten  days’ notice with an  opportunity to cure, and
without cause immediately upon notice from  the State. The Maricopa Contract generated net revenues
of $725.0 million and $807.1 million  for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

One  of the Company’s top ten customers during 2009  and 2010  was WellPoint, Inc. The  Company

recorded  net revenue from contracts  with  WellPoint, Inc.  of  $186.7 milion, $170.4 million and
$175.7 million for the years ended December 31,  2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The Company’s
contracts with WellPoint, Inc. terminated  on December 31, 2010.

Concentration of Business

The Company also has a significant concentration of business with various counties in the State of
Pennsylvania (the ‘‘Pennsylvania Counties’’) which are part of the Pennsylvania Medicaid program, and
with various areas in the State of Florida  (the  ‘‘Florida Areas’’)  which are part of  the Florida Medicaid
program. Net revenues from the Pennsylvania Counties in  the aggregate totaled $288.1 million,
$315.5  million  and  $334.8  million  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2008,  2009  and  2010,  respectively.
Net  revenues  from  the  Florida  Areas  in  the  aggregate  totaled  $113.8  million,  $130.9  million  and
$140.5  million  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2008,  2009  and  2010,  respectively.

The Company’s contracts with customers  typically have  terms of  one to three years, and in certain

cases contain renewal provisions (at the customer’s option) for successive terms of between  one and
two years (unless terminated earlier).  Substantially all of these contracts  may be immediately
terminated with cause and many of the Company’s contracts are terminable without  cause by the
customer or the Company either upon  the giving of requisite notice and the passage of a specified
period of time (typically between 60  and 180 days)  or upon  the occurrence  of other specified events.  In
addition, the Company’s contracts with  federal, state and local  governmental agencies generally are
conditioned on legislative appropriations. These contracts generally can be terminated or modified by
the customer if such appropriations are  not made.

Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated federal  income tax return  for the Company and its eighty-
percent or more owned subsidiaries, and the Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in
various states and local jurisdictions.

The Company estimates income taxes  for each of  the jurisdictions in which it operates. This

process involves estimating current tax  exposures together  with assessing temporary  differences resulting
from differing treatment of items for tax and  book purposes. Deferred tax  assets and/or  liabilities are
determined by multiplying the differences  between the  financial  reporting and tax  reporting bases for
assets and liabilities by the enacted tax  rates expected  to  be in effect  when such differences are
recovered or settled. The Company then  assesses the  likelihood that the deferred tax assets  will be
recovered from the reversal of temporary timing differences and future  taxable income, and to the
extent the Company cannot conclude that recovery  is  more likely  than not, it establishes a valuation
allowance. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in income in the period
that includes the enactment date.

Prior to 2009, reversals of both valuation allowances and unrecognized  tax  benefits were, in most

instances, recorded as adjustments to  goodwill. Subsequent  to  January 1, 2009, all such reversals are
recorded  as reductions to income tax expense and only those changes occurring during the
measurement period subsequent to an acquisition are recorded to goodwill.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid  interest-bearing investments with maturity dates of

three months or less when purchased, consisting  primarily of money market  instruments. At
December 31, 2010, the Company’s excess capital and undistributed  earnings for the Company’s
regulated subsidiaries of $39.5 million  are  included in  cash and cash equivalents.

The Company has certain assets which are considered  restricted for: (i) the payment of claims
under the terms of certain managed care  contracts; (ii)  regulatory purposes related to the payment of
claims in certain jurisdictions; and (iii)  the maintenance of minimum required tangible  net equity levels
for certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.  Significant restricted assets of the Company as of

Investments

All of the Company’s investments are classified as ‘‘available-for-sale’’  and  are carried at fair value.

Securities which have been classified  as Level 1 are  measured using quoted  market  prices while  those
which  have been classified as Level 2  are  measured using quoted  prices for similar assets and  liabilities
in active markets. The Company’s policy  is to classify all investments with contractual maturities within
one year as current. Investment income  is recognized  when earned  and reported net of investment
expenses. Net unrealized holding gains  or losses are  excluded from earnings  and are reported, net of
tax, as ‘‘accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)’’ in the accompanying  consolidated  balance
sheets and consolidated statements of  income  until realized, unless the  losses are deemed  to  be
other-than-temporary. Realized gains  or  losses,  including  any  provision for other-than-temporary
declines in value, are included in the consolidated  statements of income.

If a  debt security is in an unrealized loss position and the Company  has the intent  to  sell the  debt

security, or it is more likely than not  that the Company will have  to  sell  the  debt  security before
recovery of its amortized cost basis, the  decline in  value is deemed to be other-than-temporary  and is
recorded  to other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in income in the  consolidated
statements of income. For impaired debt  securities that the  Company does not intend  to  sell or  it is
more likely than not that the Company  will not have  to  sell such  securities, but the Company  expects
that it will not fully recover the amortized cost basis, the credit component of the other-than-temporary
impairment is recognized in other-than-temporary impairment  losses  recognized  in income in the
consolidated statements of income and  the non-credit  component  of  the other-than-temporary
impairment is recognized in other comprehensive  income.

The credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment is determined by comparing  the net
present  value of projected future cash flows with the  amortized cost basis of the  debt  security. The net
present  value is calculated by discounting the best estimate of  projected future cash  flows  at the
effective interest rate implicit in the debt security  at the  date of  acquisition. Cash flow estimates  are
driven by assumptions regarding probability of default, including changes  in credit ratings,  and
estimates regarding timing and amount of recoveries associated with  a  default. Furthermore, unrealized

losses entirely caused by non-credit related factors related to debt securities for which the Company
expects to fully recover the amortized  cost basis continue to be recognized in accumulated  other
comprehensive income.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2010, there  were no  unrealized losses that  the Company believed to
be other-than-temporary. No realized gains or  losses were recorded for  the years ended December 31,
2008, 2009 or 2010. The following is a summary of short-term  and long-term investments at

Accounts  Receivable

The Company’s accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers throughout the
United States. Collateral is generally not required.  The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful
accounts based upon factors surrounding  the credit  risk  of  specific  customers, historical trends  and
other information. Management believes the  allowance  for  doubtful accounts is  adequate to provide  for
normal credit losses.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts receivable subjects the Company to a concentration of credit risk  with third party payors

that include health insurance companies,  managed  healthcare organizations, healthcare providers and
governmental entities.

Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets to be held and used, are

currently reviewed for impairment whenever events or  changes in circumstances  indicate  that  the
carrying  amount should be addressed.  Impairment is determined by  comparing the carrying  value of
these long-lived assets to management’s best  estimate of the  future undiscounted cash flows expected to
result from the use of the assets and  their eventual  disposition. The cash flow  projections used to make
this  assessment are consistent with the cash  flow projections that  management uses internally in  making
key decisions. In the event an impairment exists, a  loss is recognized based on  the amount by which the
carrying  value exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is generally determined by using quoted  market
prices or the discounted present value  of  expected future  cash flows.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at  cost, except for  assets that have  been impaired, for  which the

carrying  amount has been reduced to  estimated fair  value. Expenditures for renewals and
improvements are capitalized to the property accounts.  Replacements and maintenance and repairs that
do not improve or extend the life of  the respective assets  are expensed as incurred. The Company
capitalizes costs incurred to develop internal-use software  during the application development stage.
Capitalization of software development  costs  occurs after the preliminary  project stage  is complete,
management authorizes the project, and it is probable that the  project will be completed and the
software will be used for the function intended.  Amortization of capital  lease assets is included  in

depreciation expense and is included in accumulated depreciation as reflected  in the table below.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over  the estimated useful lives of the assets,  which is
generally two to ten years for buildings  and improvements (or the lease term, if shorter), three to
fifteen years for equipment and three to five years for  capitalized internal-use software.  Depreciation
expense was $52.2 million, $37.8 million  and  $43.9 for the  years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and

Goodwill

The Company is required to test its goodwill for impairment on  at  least an annual basis. The
Company has selected October 1 as the  date of its annual impairment test.  The  goodwill  impairment
test is a two-step process that requires management to make judgments in determining what
assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step of the process consists of  estimating  the fair value
of each reporting unit that has been  allocated  goodwill  based on  various valuation techniques, with the
primary technique being a discounted  cash flow analysis,  which requires  the input  of various
assumptions with respect to revenues,  operating margins, growth rates  and  discount rates. The
estimated fair value for each reporting unit is compared  to  the carrying value of the  reporting unit,
which  includes the allocated goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than  the carrying value, a
second  step is performed to compute the  amount  of the impairment by  determining  an ‘‘implied fair
value’’ of goodwill. The determination  of  a reporting unit’s  ‘‘implied fair value’’ of goodwill requires  the
Company to allocate the estimated fair value of the  reporting unit to the  assets and liabilities of the
reporting unit. Any unallocated fair value  represents  the ‘‘implied  fair value’’ of goodwill, which is
compared to its corresponding carrying  value.

The fair value of the Health Plan reporting unit  (a  component  of the Commercial segment) was

determined using a discounted cash flow  method. This method involves estimating the  present  value of
estimated future cash flows utilizing a risk adjusted discount rate. Key  assumptions  for this method
include cash flow projections, terminal  growth  rates  and discount rates.

The fair value of the Radiology Benefits Management reporting unit was determined using
discounted cash flow, merger and acquisition,  and  public company methods. Key  assumptions  for the
discounted cash flow method are consistent with  those described above. Key assumptions for  the
merger and acquisition method include  actual  operating results  and appropriate  revenue and earnings

before interest, taxes, depreciation and  amortization (‘‘EBITDA’’)  multiples. Key assumptions  for the
public company method include actual operating results, projected  operating results, and appropriate
EBITDA, earnings before interest and taxes (‘‘EBIT’’), and debt free net income multiples. The
weighting applied to the fair values determined using the discounted cash flow, merger and acquisition,
and public company methods to determine an overall fair value for  Radiology Benefits Management
was 60 percent, 20 percent and 20 percent, respectively.

The fair value of the Specialty Pharmaceutical  Management  reporting unit was determined using a

discounted  cash  flow  method.  Key  assumptions  for  this  method  are  consistent  with  those  described
above.

The fair value of the Medicaid Administration reporting unit was determined using discounted

cash flow, merger and acquisition, and public  company methods. Key assumptions  for the  discounted
cash flow method, merger and acquisition  method, and public  company method are consistent with
those described above. The weighting  applied to the  fair values determined using the discounted cash
flow, merger and acquisition, and public company  methods  to  determine an overall  fair value for
Medicaid Administration was 60 percent,  20 percent  and  20  percent, respectively.

As a result of the first step of the 2010 annual goodwill impairment analysis, the fair  value of each

reporting unit with allocated goodwill  exceeded its  carrying value.  Therefore, the second step was not
necessary. However, a 60 percent decline  in fair  value of the Health Plan reporting unit, a 53 percent
decline  in fair value of Radiology Benefits Management,  a 50 percent decline in fair value  of Specialty
Pharmaceutical Management, or a 24 percent  decline in fair value of Medicaid Administration would
have caused the carrying values for these reporting units to be in excess of fair values, which would
require the second step to be performed. The  second step  could have resulted  in an impairment loss
for goodwill.

Cost of Care, Medical Claims Payable  and  Other Medical Liabilities

Cost of care is recognized in the period in which members receive  managed healthcare  services. In

addition to actual benefits paid, cost of care in  a period  also includes the  impact  of accruals for
estimates of medical claims payable.  Medical  claims payable represents the liability for  healthcare
claims reported but not yet paid and  claims incurred but  not  yet reported  (‘‘IBNR’’) related  to  the
Company’s managed healthcare businesses.

Such liabilities are determined by employing  actuarial methods that  are  commonly  used  by  health

insurance actuaries and that meet actuarial standards  of  practice.

The IBNR portion of medical claims payable is  estimated based on  past claims payment

experience for member groups, enrollment data, utilization statistics, authorized healthcare  services and
other factors. This data is incorporated into contract-specific actuarial reserve models and is further
analyzed to create ‘‘completion factors’’  that represent the  average percentage  of total incurred  claims
that have been paid through a given  date  after being incurred. Factors  that  affect estimated completion
factors include benefit changes, enrollment changes, shifts in product mix,  seasonality  influences,
provider reimbursement changes, changes  in claims inventory levels, the speed of claims processing, and
changes in paid claim levels. Completion factors are applied to claims paid through the financial
statement date to estimate the ultimate claim expense incurred  for the current  period. Actuarial

F-19

MAGELLAN HEALTH SERVICES, INC. AND  SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2010

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

estimates of claim liabilities are then determined by subtracting the actual paid claims  from the
estimate of the ultimate incurred claims. For the most recent incurred  months (generally the most
recent two months), the percentage of  claims paid for claims incurred in those  months is generally low.
This makes the completion factor methodology less reliable for such months. Therefore, incurred
claims for any month with a completion  factor  that is less  than 70 percent are generally not projected
from historical completion and payment  patterns; rather they are projected by estimating claims
expense based on recent monthly estimated cost incurred per member per month times membership,
taking into account seasonality influences, benefit changes and healthcare trend levels, collectively
considered to be ‘‘trend factors.’’

Medical claims payable balances are  continually monitored and reviewed. If it is  determined that
the Company’s assumptions in estimating  such liabilities are significantly different than actual results,
the Company’s results of operations and  financial position could  be  impacted in future periods.
Adjustments of prior period estimates may  result in additional cost of care or a reduction  of cost of
care in the period an adjustment is made.  Further, due  to  the considerable variability of  healthcare
costs, adjustments to claim liabilities occur  each period and  are sometimes significant as compared to
the net income recorded in that period. Prior  period development is recognized immediately upon  the
actuary’s judgment that a portion of the prior period liability is no  longer needed or that additional
liability should have been accrued. The  following table presents the components of the change  in
medical claims payable for the years  ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010  (in  thousands):

(2) Medical claims payable is offset by customer  withholds  from capitation payments in

situations in which the customer has  the contractual requirement to pay providers for
care incurred.

Actuarial standards of practice require that the claim liabilities be adequate under moderately
adverse circumstances. Adverse circumstances  are situations  in which the actual claims  experience  could
be higher than the otherwise estimated value of such claims. In many situations,  the claims paid
amount experienced will be less than  the estimate that  satisfies the  actuarial  standards of practice.

Due to the existence of risk sharing provisions  in certain customer  contracts, principally in  the
Public Sector segment, a change in the estimate for medical  claims payable does not necessarily result
in an equivalent impact on cost of care.

The Company believes that the amount  of  medical claims  payable  is adequate to cover its ultimate

liability for unpaid claims as of December 31, 2010; however, actual claims payments may differ from
established estimates.

Other medical liabilities consist primarily of ‘‘reinvestment’’ payables under certain managed

behavioral healthcare contracts with Medicaid customers and ‘‘profit share’’  payables under certain
risk-based contracts. Under a contract  with reinvestment  features,  if the cost of care is less than certain
minimum amounts specified in the contract (usually as a percentage  of revenue), the Company is
required to ‘‘reinvest’’ such difference  in behavioral healthcare programs  when and as specified by the
customer or to pay the difference to the  customer for their use in funding  such programs. Under a
contract with profit share provisions,  if  the cost of care is  below certain specified levels, the Company
will ‘‘share’’ the cost savings with the  customer at the percentages set forth in the contract.

Net Income per Common Share

Net income per common share is computed  based  on the weighted average number of shares of

common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding  during the period (see Note 6—
‘‘Stockholders’ Equity’’).

Stock Compensation

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton  formula to estimate the  fair value of substantially all

stock options granted to employees, and  recorded  stock compensation  expense of $32.8 million,
$19.8 million and $15.1 million for the  years  ended December 31, 2008,  2009 and 2010, respectively. As
stock compensation expense recognized  in  the consolidated statements  of income for the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 is  based  on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced
for annual estimated forfeitures of eight percent, five percent and five percent, respectively. If the
actual number of forfeitures differs from  those estimated, additional adjustments to compensation
expense may be required in future periods. If vesting of  an award is conditioned upon the achievement
of performance goals, compensation  expense during the performance period  is estimated using the
most probable outcome of the performance goals, and  adjusted as the expected outcome changes. The
Company recognizes substantially all of these  compensation costs on  a straight-line basis over  the
requisite  service  period,  which  is  generally  the  vesting  term  of  three  years.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company currently does not have  non-financial  assets  and non-financial liabilities that are
required to be measured at fair value on  a recurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities are  to  be
measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy, which  are as follows:

Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active  markets for identical assets or liabilities

that the Company has the ability to access at  the measurement date.

Level 2—Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted

prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities  in markets that are not  active,  inputs  other than
quoted prices that are observable for  the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and
inputs that are derived principally from  or corroborated  by observable market data by correlation or
other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect  the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions that

market participants would use in pricing the asset  or liability. The Company develops these inputs
based on the best information available,  including the Company’s data.

3. Acquisitions

Acquisition of First Health Services

Pursuant to the June 4, 2009  Purchase Agreement (the ‘‘Purchase Agreement’’) with Coventry

Health Care (‘‘Coventry’’), on July 31,  2009  the Company acquired (the ‘‘Acquisition’’)  all  of the
outstanding equity interests of Coventry’s direct and indirect subsidiaries  First Health Services
Corporation (‘‘FHS’’), FHC, Inc. (‘‘FHC’’) and Provider Synergies, LLC (together  with FHS and FHC,
‘‘First  Health Services’’) and certain assets of Coventry  which  are related  to the operation of the
business conducted by First Health Services. As consideration for the  Acquisition, the  Company paid
$115.4 million in cash, excluding cash  acquired  and including  a payment of  $7.4 million for  excess
working capital with such amount being subject to final adjustments as provided in the Purchase
Agreement.  The  Company  is  in  negotiations  with  Coventry  on  settlement  of  the  working  capital
adjustment, and anticipates a return  of  $0.9 million. The Company  funded the Acquisition with  cash on
hand.

Effective July 1, 2010 the Company discontinued the use of the name  First Health Services
Corporation and officially changed such  name to ‘‘Magellan Medicaid Administration, Inc.’’ The
Company reports the results of operations  of  Magellan Medicaid Administration, Inc. within  the
Medicaid Administration segment.

4. Benefit Plans

The Company has a defined contribution retirement  plan (the ‘‘401(k) Plan’’). Employee

participants can elect to contribute up  to  75 percent of their compensation, subject to Internal Revenue
Service (‘‘IRS’’) deferral limitations. The  Company makes contributions to the 401(k) Plan  based on
employee compensation and contributions. The Company matches 50 percent  of each employee’s
contribution up to 6 percent of their  annual compensation. The Company recognized $5.1 million,
$5.1 million and $5.6 million of expense for  the years ended December  31, 2008,  2009 and 2010,
respectively, for matching contributions  to  the 401(k) Plan.

5. Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations

On April 30, 2008, the Company entered into a credit  facility with Deutsche Bank AG and

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. that provided for a $100.0 million Revolving Loan Commitment for the
issuance of letters of credit for the account  of  the Company with a  sublimit of up to $30.0 million  for
revolving loans (the ‘‘2008 Credit Facility’’).

On April 29, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2008 Credit Facility with
Deutsche Bank AG, Citibank, N.A.,  and Bank of America, N.A. that provided for  an $80.0 million
Revolving Loan Commitment for the issuance of letters  of  credit for the account of the Company  with
a sublimit of up to $30.0 million for  revolving loans (the  ‘‘2009 Credit Facility’’).  Borrowings under the
2009 Credit Facility matured on April 28, 2010.  The 2009 Credit Facility was guaranteed by
substantially all of the subsidiaries of  the Company and was secured by substantially all of the  assets of
the Company and the subsidiary guarantors.

Under the 2009 Credit Facility, the annual interest  rate on Revolving  Loan borrowings was equal

to (i) in the case of U.S. dollar denominated loans,  the sum of a borrowing margin of 2.25 percent plus
the higher of the prime rate or one-half of one percent in excess of the overnight ‘‘federal funds’’ rate,

or (ii) in the case of Eurodollar denominated loans, the  sum of a borrowing margin of  3.25 percent

U.S. dollar denominated loans or Eurodollar denominated loans  at its discretion. Letters of Credit
issued under the Revolving Loan Commitment bore interest at the rate of 3.375  percent. The
commitment commission on the 2009 Credit Facility was 0.625  percent of the unused Revolving Loan
Commitment.

On April 28, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2009 Credit Facility with
Deutsche Bank AG, Citibank, N.A.,  and Bank of America, N.A. that provided for  an $80.0 million
Revolving Loan Commitment for the issuance of letters  of  credit for the account of the Company  with
a sublimit of up to $30.0 million for  revolving loans (the  ‘‘2010 Credit Facility’’).  Borrowings under the
2010 Credit Facility mature on April  28, 2013. The 2010  Credit Facility  is guaranteed by substantially all
of the subsidiaries of the Company and  is  secured by  substantially all  of the assets of the Company  and
the subsidiary guarantors.

Under the 2010 Credit Facility, the annual interest  rate on Revolving  Loan borrowings is equal  to

(i) in the case of U.S. dollar denominated loans,  the sum of a borrowing margin of 1.75 percent plus
the higher of the prime rate or one-half of one percent in excess of the overnight ‘‘federal funds’’ rate,
or (ii) in the case of Eurodollar denominated loans, the  sum of a borrowing margin of  2.75 percent
plus the Eurodollar rate for the selected  interest period. The Company has the option to borrow in
U.S. dollar denominated loans or Eurodollar denominated loans  at its discretion. Letters of Credit
issued under the Revolving Loan Commitment bear  interest at the rate of 2.875 percent. The
commitment commission on the 2010 Credit Facility is 0.50 percent of the  unused Revolving Loan
Commitment.

There were $0 million and $0.6 million of capital lease  obligations at  December 31, 2009 and 2010,

respectively, $51.5 million and $44.9 million of letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2009 and
2010, respectively, and no Revolving  Loan  borrowings  at December 31, 2009 or December 31, 2010.

6. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Compensation

At December 31, 2009 and 2010, the  Company had equity-based employee incentive plans,  which

are described below.

Stock Option Awards

On January 5, 2004, the Company established the 2003 Management Incentive Plan (‘‘2003 MIP’’)
which  allowed for the issuance of up  to  6,373,689 shares of common stock pursuant  to  stock options  or
stock grants. Other than the 2004 Options  (defined below) and certain options granted under the 2006
MIP (defined below), options granted  by the  Company have exercise  prices equal to the  fair market
value on  the date of grant.

On February 24, 2006, the board of directors of the Company  approved three equity plans and

recommended they be submitted for approval by  the Company’s shareholders at the 2006 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders. The board approved the 2006  Management Incentive Plan (‘‘2006 MIP’’), the

6. Stockholders’ Equity (Continued)

2006 Director Equity Compensation  Plan  (‘‘Director Plan’’) and the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (‘‘ESPP’’). All three of these plans  were approved by  the Company’s shareholders at the  2006
Annual Meeting of Shareholders on  May 16, 2006.

The 2006 MIP, which was similar to the  Company’s 2003 MIP, authorized the issuance of equity
awards covering a total of 2,750,000 shares  of the  Company’s common stock, no more than 300,000
shares of which could be restricted stock  or restricted stock units. A restricted  stock unit is  a notional
account representing the right to receive a share of  common  stock (or, at the Company’s option, cash
in lieu thereof) at some future date.  The  Director Plan  covered 120,000 shares of the  Company’s
common stock, no more than 15,000 of which could be restricted stock or  restricted stock units,  and
provided for the issuance of options  and restricted stock or restricted stock  units to directors
immediately following each annual meeting  of  shareholders in 2006 and 2007. The  ESPP is a
noncompensatory plan and covers 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and permits
employees of the Company to purchase  Common Stock at a 5 percent discount.

On February 27, 2008 the board of directors of the Company  approved the 2008 Management

Incentive Plan (‘‘2008 MIP’’) and recommended  it be submitted for approval by the  Company’s
shareholders at the 2008 Annual Meeting  of  shareholders. The 2008 MIP was approved by the
Company’s shareholders at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 20, 2008.  The 2008 MIP
is similar to the 2006 MIP and the 2003 MIP. The board of directors also authorized a total of up to
4.5 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock (which amount will be increased by the amount of
any future forfeitures under the 2006  MIP, the 2003 MIP and the Director Plan) to be available for
issuance pursuant to the 2008 MIP. Each  restricted stock  unit or share of restricted stock issued under
the 2008 MIP shall be counted as 1.9 option shares  for the purpose of calculating  shares awarded and
shares remaining available for grant pursuant to the 2008 MIP. The 2008  MIP also provides that no
further awards are to be made under the  2006  MIP,  the 2003  MIP or  the Director Plan, and any  equity
awards remaining available for issuance under such plans  are no  longer available for issuance except
for any forfeitures or other recapture of  equity awards  previously  made under such  plans, which will be
available for grant under the 2008 MIP. The 2008  MIP, unlike the 2006 MIP and the 2003 MIP, also
permits the grant of performance based  cash bonus awards to eligible employees and the grant of
equity to directors of the Company. Currently, no such cash  bonus awards have  been issued under the
2008 MIP.

The weighted average grant date fair  value of substantially all  stock options granted during the
years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 was $8.52, $8.69 and $11.74, respectively, as estimated
using the Black- Scholes-Merton option  pricing model based on the following weighted average
assumptions:

6. Stockholders’ Equity (Continued)

The benefits of tax deductions from  exercises of stock options and vesting of stock awards are

reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an  operating cash flow. In the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, approximately $7.5 million, $2.9 million and $1.1 million,
respectively, of benefits of such tax deductions related to stock compensation expense were realized and
as such were reported as financing cash  flows. Of these amounts, $5.4 million and $2.9 million,
respectively, have been reflected as increases to additional paid in capital for the years ended
December 31, 2008, and 2009. For the  year  ended December 31, 2010, the change to additional paid in
capital related to tax benefits (deficiencies) was $(1.4) million  which includes  the $1.1 million of excess
tax benefits offset by $2.5 million of  tax deficiencies. Tax contingencies were recorded for the remaining
$2.1 million, $0.0 million and $0.0, respectively, as  of December 31, 2008, 2009 and  2010.

6. Stockholders’ Equity (Continued)

The total pre-tax intrinsic value of options exercised (based  on the difference between the
Company’s closing stock price on the day the  option was exercised and the  exercise price) during the
years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 was $12.0 million, $0.4 million  and $18.2 million,
respectively.

As of December 31, 2010, there was  $13.8 million  of total  unrecognized compensation  expense
related to nonvested stock options that is  expected  to  be  recognized over  a weighted average remaining
recognition period of 1.80 years. The  total  fair value  of options vested during the  year ended
December 31, 2010 was $15.1 million.

Substantially all of the Company’s options granted  during the  year ended December  31, 2005
vested ratably on each anniversary date over  the four  years subsequent to grant, and substantially all
have a ten year life. Substantially all of the Company’s  options  granted during the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009  and  2010 vest  ratably on  each anniversary date  over the three
years subsequent to grant, and substantially  all have a ten year life.

At December 31, 2010, 1,679,184 shares of the Company’s common stock remain available for

future grant under the Company’s 2008 MIP.

Option Modification

On January 3, 2006, the Company amended certain stock options outstanding under the 2003 MIP.

The amendments, as further described below, were intended primarily to bring the features of such
options into compliance with certain requirements established by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the ‘‘Code’’),  which was added  to  the Code by the American Jobs Creation
Act of 2004 and governs as a general  matter the federal income tax treatment  of deferred
compensation. The amended options were  originally  issued on January  5, 2004  (the ‘‘2004 Options’’).
Because the exercise price of such 2004  Options may be considered to have been less than the fair
market value of the shares that may be acquired upon exercise of such options as determined by the
market trading in such shares, such options might be subject to the provisions of Section 409A,
including certain penalty tax provisions on the  option holders.

The amendments in each case reduced the  period in which the 2004 Options, once vested, could
be exercised from the tenth anniversary  of the date of grant to the  end of the calendar year in  which
each  option first became exercisable. The  vesting schedule of the options was not changed and no
change was made in the exercise price or  other  material terms.

In addition, the 2004 Options issued to the  Company’s then Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer  (the ‘‘Senior Executives’’) were also amended to defer
until January 5, 2007 the exercisability  of  all but 137,398  of  their  options that vested in January 2006.
This deferral was agreed upon in connection with the  waiver by  the Company  of the restriction  on sale
before January 5, 2007 of 413,003 shares  held  by the Senior Executives, that they had previously
acquired upon exercise of a portion of  their  2004 Options that vested in January 2005.

In connection with these amendments, the  Company  agreed to grant new options to option

holders, other than the Senior Executives, upon  exercise of their 2004 Options. The new options  will be
in an amount equal to the number of options exercised, will have  exercise prices equal to the market

subsequent to grant. In the years ended  December 31, 2008, 2009  and 2010, options  to  purchase
345,956, 14,049 and 0 shares, respectively, were granted pursuant to these amendments upon exercise of
2004 Options during these periods.

Restricted Stock Awards

During  the years ended December 31, 2008,  2009  and 2010, the Company granted shares of

restricted stock which generally vest on the  anniversary of the date of grant.

On July 31, 2006, pursuant to the Company’s purchase of ICORE, the  Company granted to the

unitholders of ICORE, 543,879 shares  of  restricted stock  of the  Company valued at $24.0 million,
which  stock vested over three years, provided that the  unitholders  did not  earlier terminate their
employment with the Company. The $24  million  in restricted stock paid at the closing was issued in a
transaction pursuant to which the unitholders of ICORE  at  closing applied $24 million of the purchase
price as cash consideration for their purchase of restricted shares of the Company’s  common stock. The
unitholders subscribed to an aggregate of  543,879 restricted shares  of  the Company’s common  stock on
a basis proportional to each unitholder’s economic  interest in  ICORE at  a purchase price of  $44.13 per
share, which was the average of the closing  prices of the  Company’s  common  stock on NASDAQ  for
the twenty trading days immediately  preceding the closing.

As of December 31, 2010, there was  $0.3 million of unrecognized  stock compensation  expense

related to nonvested restricted stock  awards.  This cost is expected  to  be  recognized over a  weighted-
average period of 0.38 years.

Restricted Stock Units

During  the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009  and 2010, the  Company granted restricted  stock

units which vest ratably on each anniversary date  over the  three years subsequent to grant.

As of December 31, 2010, there was  $3.1 million  of unrecognized stock compensation  expense
related to nonvested restricted stock  units. This cost is expected to be recognized over  a weighted-
average period of 1.85 years.

Common Stock Warrants

On January 5, 2004, the Company issued 570,825 warrants  to purchase common stock  of the

Company at a purchase price of $30.46 per share at  anytime until January 5, 2011 and at an
approximate fair value per warrant of $9.44 (‘‘2004 Warrants’’). As of December  31, 2010, 44,561 of
these 2004 Warrants remain outstanding. In January 2011, 31,362 warrants were exercised  and the
remaining 13,199 warrants were forfeited.

The fair values of the common stock warrants were estimated  on the date of their grant  using the

Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing  model based on the  following  weighted average assumptions:

The weighted average number of common shares outstanding  for  the years ended December 31,

2008,  2009  and  2010  was  calculated  using  outstanding  shares  of  the  Company’s  common  stock.
Common stock equivalents included  in the calculation of diluted weighted average common  shares
outstanding for the years ended December 31,  2008, 2009  and 2010 represent stock options to purchase
shares of the Company’s common stock,  restricted stock awards and restricted  stock units, stock
purchased under the ESPP and shares  of common stock related  to  certain warrants issued on
January 5, 2004.

For the years ended December 31, 2008,  2009 and 2010, the  Company had additional potential
dilutive  securities  outstanding  representing  3.4  million,  5.2  million  and  2.0  million  options,  respectively,
that were not included in the computation of dilutive securities because they were anti-dilutive  for such
periods. Had these shares not been anti-dilutive, all  of  these shares would  not  have been included in
the net income per common share calculation as the  Company uses the treasury  stock method of
calculating diluted shares.

Stock Repurchases

On July 30, 2008 the Company’s board of directors approved  a stock repurchase plan which

authorized the Company to purchase  up to $200 million of its outstanding common  stock  through
January 31, 2010. Stock repurchases  under the program could be executed through open market
repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share  repurchases or other means. The board
of directors authorized management to execute stock repurchase  transactions under the program from
time to time and in such amounts and  via such methods  as management deemed appropriate. The
stock repurchase program could be limited  or terminated  at  any time without  prior notice. Pursuant to

this  program, the Company made open market purchases of 3,866,505 shares of  the Company’s
common stock at an aggregate cost of  $136.0 million (excluding broker commissions) during the year
ended December 31, 2008 and made open market purchases of  1,859,959 shares  of the Company’s

(excluding broker commissions) during  the period January 1,  2009 through April 7, 2009, which was the
date  that the  repurchase program was  completed, the $200 million authorization having been
exhausted.

On July 28, 2009 the Company’s board of directors  approved  a stock repurchase plan which

authorized the Company to purchase  up to $100 million of its outstanding common stock  through
July 28, 2011. Stock repurchases under  the program could be executed through  open market
repurchases, privately negotiated transactions,  accelerated share  repurchases or other means. The board
of directors authorized management to execute stock repurchase  transactions under the program from
time to time and in such amounts and  via such  methods as management deemed appropriate. The
stock repurchase program could be limited  or terminated  at any time without  prior notice. Pursuant to
this  program, the Company made open market purchases of 782,400 shares  of the Company’s  common
stock at an average price of $32.75 per  share for  an  aggregate cost of $25.6 million (excluding broker
commissions) during the period from August 17, 2009  through December  31, 2009. Pursuant to this
program, the Company made open market purchases  of  1,711,881 shares of the Company’s common
stock at an average price of $43.46 per  share for  an  aggregate cost of $74.4 million (excluding broker
commissions) during the period January 1,  2010  through April 1, 2010,  which was the date that the
repurchase program was completed, the  $100 million authorization having been  exhausted.

On July 27, 2010 the Company’s board of directors  approved  a stock repurchase plan which
authorizes the Company to purchase up  to  $350 million of its outstanding common stock through
July 28, 2012. On February 18, 2011,  the Company’s board of directors  increased the stock repurchase
program by an additional $100 million.  Stock repurchases under the program may be executed  through
open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases or other
means. The board  of directors authorized  management to execute  stock repurchase transactions from
time to time and in such amounts and  via such  methods as management deems appropriate. The stock
repurchase program may be limited or  terminated at  any  time without prior notice. Pursuant to this
program, the Company made open market purchases  of  1,684,510 shares of the Company’s common
stock at an average price of $48.36 per  share for  an  aggregate cost of $81.5 million (excluding broker
commissions) during the period from November 3,  2010 through December 31, 2010.

During  the period from January 1, 2011 through February  23, 2011, the Company made additional

open market purchases of 1,251,263 shares  of  the Company’s common stock  at an aggregate  cost of
$61.7 million, excluding broker commissions.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On January 28, 2011, the Company and Blue Shield  of  California  (‘‘Blue Shield’’) entered into a

Share Purchase Agreement (the ‘‘Share  Purchase Agreement’’) pursuant to which on January 31,  2011
Blue Shield purchased 416,840 shares of  the Company’s Common Stock (the ‘‘Shares’’) for a total
purchase price of $20 million. The Shares were  issued to Blue Shield, an accredited investor, in a
private  placement pursuant to Regulation  D  of the  Securities Act. Blue Shield  has agreed not to

The Company estimates that it has reportable federal net operating  loss carryforwards (‘‘NOLs’’)

as of  December 31, 2010 of approximately  $5.5 million available to reduce  future federal taxable
income. These estimated NOLs, if not  used, expire in 2011 through 2019 and are subject  to
examination and adjustment by the Internal Revenue  Service. In addition, the Company’s  utilization of
such NOLs is subject to limitation under Internal Revenue  Code Section 382, which affects  the timing
of the use of these NOLs. At this time,  the Company does not believe these limitations will limit the
Company’s ability to use any federal NOLs before they  expire.

The Company’s valuation allowances  against deferred tax  assets were $7.3 million  and $5.3 million
as of  December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively, mostly relating to uncertainties regarding the eventual
realization of certain state NOLs. Determination of the  amount of deferred tax  assets considered
realizable requires significant judgment  and  estimation. Changes in  these estimates in  the future could
materially affect the Company’s financial  condition  and  results of operations.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant  portions of the deferred tax

assets and liabilities at December 31,  2009  and 2010  are as follows (in thousands):

The Company periodically performs a  comprehensive review  of its  tax  positions  and accrues

amounts for tax contingencies. Based  upon these reviews, the status of ongoing tax  audits, and the
expiration of applicable statutes of limitations, accruals are adjusted as necessary. The resolution of tax
audits is unpredictable and could result  in  tax  liabilities that are significantly different than those which
have been estimated and accrued by  the  Company. Such amounts are included in  deferred credits and
other long-term liabilities within the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets.

If these unrecognized tax benefits had been realized as of December 31, 2009 and 2010,

$88.3 million and $88.2 million, respectively,  would have impacted the effective  tax rate.

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits  recorded at December 31,  2009 and  2010
were liabilities of $1.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for tax positions for which the  ultimate
deductibility is highly certain but for which there  is uncertainty about the  timing of such deductibility.
Because of the impact of deferred tax  accounting, other  than interest and penalties, the deferral of
these deductions to later years would not  affect the annual effective tax rate but could result in the
acceleration of cash payments and/or reduction  to  the NOL carryforwards with respect to the earlier
period.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject  to state or local income tax assessments  by
tax authorities for  years ended prior  to  December 31, 2007. Further,  the  statute of limitations regarding
the assessment of the federal and most  state and local income taxes  for the  year ended December  31,
2007 will expire during 2011. The Company anticipates that up  to  $15.5 million of unrecognized tax
benefits (excluding interest costs) recorded  as of December  31, 2010 could  be  reversed during 2011 as  a
result of statute expirations, $10.2 million  of which would impact the effective  rate. All  such reversals
(net of the related indirect tax benefits) would be reflected as  discrete  adjustments during the quarter
in which the respective statute expiration  occurs.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2010, the Company  had  accrued  approximately  $3.5 million and
$3.7 million, respectively, for the potential payment of interest  and  penalties  (net of  indirect benefits).
The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its  provision for
income taxes. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009  and  2010, the Company  recorded
approximately $1.6 million, $(0.7) million  and $0.2 million in  interest and penalties.

Insurance

The Company maintains a program of  insurance coverage for  a  broad range of risks in its business.

The Company has renewed its general,  professional and managed  care  liability  insurance policies with
unaffiliated insurers for a one-year period  from  June 17, 2010 to June 17, 2011. The general  liability
policies are written on an ‘‘occurrence’’  basis,  subject to a $0.05 million per claim un-aggregated
self-insured retention. The professional  liability  and managed care errors and omissions  liability  policies
are written on a ‘‘claims-made’’ basis, subject to a  $1.0 million  per  claim  ($10.0  million  per  class action
claim) un-aggregated self-insured retention  for  managed care liability, and a $0.05  million per claim
un-aggregated self-insured retention  for  professional liability.

The Company maintains separate general and professional  liability  insurance policies with an

unaffiliated insurer for its Specialty Pharmaceutical  Management  business.  The  Specialty
Pharmaceutical Management insurance policies have  a one-year term  for the period June  17, 2010 to
June 17, 2011. The general liability policies are  written  on an  ‘‘occurrence’’ basis, subject to a
$0.05 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention. The  professional  liability  policy is written
on a ‘‘claims-made’’ basis, subject to  a  $0.05 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention.

The Company maintains separate professional liability insurance policies  with unaffiliated insurers

for its Maricopa Contract business for  the behavioral  health  direct care facilities. The  Maricopa
Contract professional liability insurance  policies effective dates are from September 1,  2008 to
September 1, 2009. The Company purchased  a five-year extended  reporting period for  the professional
liability policies effective September  1, 2009 for  the period September 1, 2009 to September 1,  2014,
subject to a $0.5 million per claim un-aggregated  self-insured retention. The professional liability
policies are written on a ‘‘claims-made’’  basis.

The Company is responsible for claims  within its self-insured retentions, and for portions  of claims

reported after the  expiration date of the policies if they are not  renewed, or  if  policy limits  are
exceeded. The Company also purchases excess liability coverage in an amount that management
believes to be reasonable for the size  and profile  of  the organization.

9. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

Regulatory Issues

The specialty managed healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and  regulations. The

subjects of such laws and regulations cover, but are not limited to, matters  such as licensure,
accreditation, government healthcare program  participation requirements, information privacy and
security, reimbursement for patient services, and  Medicare and  Medicaid fraud and abuse. Over the
past several years, government activity has increased  with respect to investigations and/or  allegations
concerning possible violations of fraud  and abuse and false claims statutes and/or regulations by
healthcare organizations and insurers.  Entities  that are found to have violated these  laws  and
regulations may be excluded from participating  in government healthcare programs,  subjected to fines
or penalties or required to repay amounts received from the government for  previously billed patient
services. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and
interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time.

In addition, regulators of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries may exercise certain  discretionary

rights  under  regulations  including  increasing  their  supervision  of  such  entities,  requiring  additional
restricted cash or other security or seizing  or otherwise taking control of the assets and operations of
such subsidiaries.

Legal

The management and administration  of  the delivery of specialty managed healthcare entails
significant risks of liability. From time to time, the Company is subject to various actions and claims
arising from the acts or omissions of its employees, network providers or other parties. In the  normal
course of business, the Company receives reports  relating  to deaths and other  serious incidents
involving patients whose care is being managed by the  Company. Such incidents occasionally give rise
to malpractice, professional negligence  and other  related actions and claims against the Company  or its
network providers. Many of these actions and claims received by the Company seek substantial
damages and therefore require the Company  to  incur significant fees and costs related to their defense.
The Company is also subject to or party  to  certain class  actions, litigation and claims  relating to its
operations and business practices. In the  opinion of management,  the Company has recorded reserves
that are adequate to cover litigation,  claims or  assessments that have been or may be asserted against
the Company, and for which  the outcome is probable and reasonably estimable. Management believes
that the resolution of such litigation  and  claims will not have a material adverse  effect on the
Company’s financial condition or results  of operations; however, there can  be  no assurance in this
regard.

Operating Leases

The Company leases certain of its operating facilities and equipment. The  leases, which expire at
various dates through October 2016, generally  require the  Company to pay  all  maintenance, property
tax and insurance costs.

At December 31, 2010, aggregate amounts of future minimum payments under operating  leases

were as follows: 2011—$17.0 million; 2012—$14.2  million; 2013—$8.0  million; 2014—$6.3 million;

F-37

MAGELLAN HEALTH SERVICES, INC. AND  SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2010

9. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

2015—$5.4 million; 2016 and beyond—$12.6 million. Operating lease obligations include estimated
future lease payments for both open  and closed  offices.

At December 31, 2010, aggregate amounts of future minimum rentals to be received  under

operating subleases were as follows:  2011—$1.0 million; 2012—$0.7 million; 2013—$0.6 million; 2014—
$0.5 million; 2015—$0.3 million; 2016 and beyond—$0.0  million. Operating sublease rentals to be
received relate primarily to behavioral health direct  care facilities transitioned to third  parties pursuant
to the Maricopa Contract.

Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the  terms of the leases. Rent expense  was
$24.3 million, $20.3 million and $19.8  million  for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010,
respectively.

10. Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Allen Wise, a former Director of the  Company, served  as the Chairman of Coventry. The
Company has a behavioral health services  agreement with  a subsidiary of Coventry under which the
Company derived revenues of approximately $1.5 million  and $1.4  million  during the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively. On February 25, 2009,  Mr. Wise resigned from the board of
directors of the Company as a result  of  his appointment as  Chief Executive Officer of Coventry.  On
July 31, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of First Health  Services as described in Note 3.
Mr. Wise was no longer a Director of  the Company at the time that the Company negotiated and
closed on the acquisition of First Health  Services from  Coventry. At the same time that the Company
acquired First Health Services, the Company also executed agreements to provide  radiology and
oncology services for certain Coventry  markets. The  Company derived revenues from  such service
agreements of approximately $6.6 million and $122.7  million during the  years  ended December 31, 2009
and 2010, respectively.

William McBride, a Director of the Company, serves as a member of  the board  of directors of

AmeriGroup Corporation. The Company has a radiology benefits  management agreement with a
subsidiary of AmeriGroup under which the Company derived revenues of approximately $1.1 million
and $1.7 million in 2009 and 2010, respectively.

11. Business Segment Information

The accounting policies of the Company’s  segments are the same as  those described in Note 1—

‘‘General.’’ The Company evaluates performance of its segments  based on profit or loss from
operations before stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest
income, gain on sale of assets, special charges or benefits, and income taxes  (‘‘Segment Profit’’).
Management uses Segment Profit information for internal reporting and control purposes and considers
it important in making decisions regarding  the allocation of capital and  other resources, risk assessment
and  employee  compensation,  among  other  matters.  Effective  September 1,  2010,  Public  Sector  has
subcontracted with Medicaid Administration to provide  pharmacy benefits management services on  a
limited risk basis for one of Public Sector’s customers. As  such, revenue and cost of care related to this

13. Subsequent Events

Agreement with Blue Shield of California

On January 28, 2011 the Company entered into a binding  Letter  of  Agreement (the ‘‘Behavioral

Letter Agreement’’) with Blue Shield of California (‘‘Blue Shield’’) to manage, on a risk and
administrative services only basis, the behavioral  health,  employee assistance  program and related
benefits for Blue Shield members beginning on  January 1, 2012.  The  Behavioral Letter Agreement  has
an 8 year term ending on December 31,  2019 but may  be  terminated by Blue Shield, without cause,
beginning after December 31, 2017. The Company  anticipates annual  revenue  from this  contract in
2012 to be approximately $150 million.  The  parties have agreed  to  work  in good faith  to  finalize
definitive agreements reflecting the terms of  the Behavioral Letter Agreement. The Behavioral Letter
Agreement also requires that the parties  receive regulatory approvals in California before  October 1,

F-42

MAGELLAN HEALTH SERVICES, INC. AND  SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2010

13. Subsequent Events (Continued)

2011. While the parties do not anticipate  any difficulties finalizing the terms of definitive agreements  or
in obtaining such regulatory approvals, there  can be no assurance that such  definitive agreements will
be finalized or that such required regulatory approvals will be obtained.

The Company and Blue Shield on January 28, 2011  also entered into a non-exclusive strategic

relationship comprised of two components:

(i) A non-exclusive Strategic Alliance Agreement (the ‘‘Alliance Agreement’’) pursuant  to  which the
parties will evaluate and consider joint development of products in the  State  of California.  The
Alliance Agreement also provides the  Company an opportunity to offer to provide additional
outsourced services offered by the Company to Blue Shield in the event that Blue Shield decides
to replace an existing service provider, outsource  a service it has not previously  outsourced, or
offer a product it has not previously  offered. The provision of any such additional services is not
mandatory and is subject to the parties agreeing on the  terms of a new agreement  for any such
services.

(ii) A Share Purchase Agreement (the ‘‘Share Purchase Agreement’’) pursuant  to  which on

January 31, 2011 Blue Shield  purchased 416,840 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the
‘‘Shares’’) for a total purchase price  of $20 million.  The Shares were issued to Blue Shield, an
accredited investor, in a private placement pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933.
Blue Shield has agreed not to transfer such  Shares for a two year period, except in the event of
any change in control of the Company as defined in the  Share Purchase Agreement. The purchase
price for the Shares issued was determined taking into account the recent  trading price of the
Company’s Common Stock on NASDAQ and the restrictions on transfer of the Shares agreed to
by Blue Shield.

Retroactive rate amendment

In late January 2011, the Company and a  Commercial behavioral  healthcare customer executed a

retroactive rate amendment related to  calendar 2010.  The effect  of  the amendment is an increase in
revenue for the Company of $7.7 million.  Under the Company’s  revenue recognition policies, the
impact of the retroactive rate amendment  will  be  reflected  in the Company’s results in the first quarter
of fiscal 2011.

Increase to share repurchase program

On February 18, 2011, the Company’s board of directors increased the stock  repurchase program,

which  was approved on July 27, 2010  and  authorizes the Company to purchase up to $350 million of its
outstanding common stock through July 28,  2012,  by an additional $100 million, to a total of
$450 million.
