 agreed-upon arrangements terms. Fee revenues for services are generally recorded on a gross basis with the associated direct and indirect costs presented in Pharmacy and other service costs, or Selling, general and administrative expenses.Retained rebates reported in Fees and other revenues in our formulary processing arrangements are either recognized gross as services are provided to clients, consistent with the related service fee, or net as rebates are processed. The latter applies in arrangements in which the Company is permitted to retain a portion of rebates collected in exchange for services, but the Company does not obtain control of the retained rebate until rebates are transferred to the client. Fees for services may include variable consideration as a component of the transaction price, which is estimated at contract inception, recognized and adjusted through the contract period through Accrued expenses and other liabilities. Variable consideration includes certain health benefit management contracts requiring the Company to share the results of medical cost experience that differ from specified targets and ASO performance guarantees that compensate clients if certain service standards, clinical outcomes or financial metrics are not met.
