Fertility benefit services revenue was $92.3 million, +99%, and Pharmacy benefit services revenue increased 98% to $36.4 million.
The gross margin expanded from 18.5% to 23% due to the ongoing favorable impact of previously disclosed contract terms, regular contract renewals, and care management services.
