Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information

The Company is organized in two operating segments, Long-Term Care Group (“LTC”) and Specialty Care Group (“SCG”). These segments are based on the operations of the underlying businesses and the customers they serve. The Company's larger reportable segment is LTC, which primarily provides distribution of pharmaceuticals, related pharmacy consulting and other ancillary services and medical supplies. LTC's customers are primarily skilled nursing, assisted living and other providers of healthcare services. The Company’s other reportable segment is SCG, which provides specialty pharmacy, key commercialization services for the biopharmaceutical industry and end-of-life pharmaceutical care management for hospice care agencies. The primary components of the "Corporate/Other" segment are the Company's corporate management oversight and administration, including its information technology and data management services, as well as other consolidating and eliminating entries, which have not been charged to reportable segments. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on revenue and operating income, and does not include segment assets or nonoperating income/expense items for management reporting purposes.
