WARRANTS [Abstract]
Warrants	WARRANTS In March 2010, in connection with the acquisition of CHS, the Company issued 3.4 million of warrants exercisable for BioScrip common stock. The warrants have a five year term with an exercise price of $10.00 per share. They are exercisable at any time prior to the expiration date. The warrants also contain provisions whereby the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of the warrants will be increased if the Company were to execute certain dilutive transactions such as stock splits, stock dividends or the issuance of shares below 90% of market value at the time of issuance. The Company has determined that the warrants meet the conditions for equity classification in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, these warrants were classified as equity and included in additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2012, 3.4 million warrants are outstanding, and none have been exercised. The fair value of the warrants of $12.3 million was calculated using the Black-Scholes model. The Black-Scholes model used the following assumptions: volatility of 62%, risk free interest rate of 2.63%, dividend yield of 0% and expected term of five years. In addition, there was a discount applied for lack of marketability of 13.5%. This discount is considered appropriate because the warrants were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and the shares issued upon exercise of the warrants will be unregistered shares subject to transfer restrictions.

WARRANTS

In March 2010, in connection with the acquisition of CHS, the Company issued 3.4 million of warrants exercisable for BioScrip common stock. The warrants have a five year term with an exercise price of $10.00 per share. They are exercisable at any time prior to the expiration date. The warrants also contain provisions whereby the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of the warrants will be increased if the Company were to execute certain dilutive transactions such as stock splits, stock dividends or the issuance of shares below 90% of market value at the time of issuance. The Company has determined that the warrants meet the conditions for equity classification in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, these warrants were classified as equity and included in additional paid-in capital.

As of December 31, 2012, 3.4 million warrants are outstanding, and none have been exercised.

The fair value of the warrants of $12.3 million was calculated using the Black-Scholes model. The Black-Scholes model used the following assumptions: volatility of 62%, risk free interest rate of 2.63%, dividend yield of 0% and expected term of five years. In addition, there was a discount applied for lack of marketability of 13.5%. This discount is considered appropriate because the warrants were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and the shares issued upon exercise of the warrants will be unregistered shares subject to transfer restrictions.
