SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]  
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s assets are as follows:

Computer hardware and software

years
Office equipment

Medical equipment

Furniture and fixtures

Leasehold improvements and leased assets under capital leases are depreciated using a straight-line basis over the related lease term or estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is less.  The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts with the gain or loss, if applicable, recorded in the statement of operations.  Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Costs relating to the development of software for internal purposes are charged to expense until technological feasibility is established in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). Thereafter, the remaining software production costs up to the date placed into production are capitalized and included as Property and Equipment.  Depreciation of the capitalized amounts commences on the date the asset is ready for its intended use and is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue principally through the sale of prescription drugs and nursing services.  Prescription drugs are dispensed either through a pharmacy participating in the Company’s pharmacy network or a pharmacy owned by the Company.  Fee-for-service agreements include: (i) pharmacy agreements, where we dispense prescription medications through the Company’s pharmacy facilities and (ii) PBM agreements, where prescription medications are dispensed through pharmacies participating in the Company’s retail pharmacy network.

FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”), addresses situations in which there are multiple deliverables under one revenue arrangement with a customer and provides guidance in determining whether multiple deliverables should be recognized separately or in combination.  The Company provides a variety of therapies to patients.  For infusion-related therapies, the Company frequently provides multiple deliverables of drugs and related nursing services.  After applying the criteria from ASC 605-25, the Company concluded that separate units of accounting exist in revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables.  Drug revenue is recognized at the time the drug is shipped, and nursing revenue is recognized on the date of service. The Company allocates revenue consideration based on the relative fair value as determined by the Company's best estimate of selling price to separate the revenue where there are multiple deliverables under one revenue arrangement.
 
Revenue generated under PBM agreements is classified as either gross or net based on whether the Company is acting as a principal or an agent in the fulfillment of prescriptions through our retail pharmacy network. When the Company independently has a contractual obligation to pay a network pharmacy provider for benefits provided to its Plan Sponsors’ members, and therefore is the “primary obligor” as defined in FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition ("ASC 605") the Company includes payments (which include the drug ingredient cost) from these Plan Sponsors as revenue and payments to the network pharmacy providers as cost of revenue. These transactions require the Company to pay network pharmacy providers, assume credit risk of Plan Sponsors and act as a principal. If the Company merely acts as an agent, and consequently administers Plan Sponsors’ network pharmacy contracts, the Company does not have the primary obligation to pay the network pharmacy and assume credit risk, and as such, records only the administrative fees (and not the drug ingredient cost) as revenue.

Revenue generated under discount card agreements is recognized when the discount card is used to purchase a prescription drug. The revenue is based on contractual rates per transaction. Broker fees associated with the marketing of the discount cards are incurred and recognized at the time the card is used and classified as selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In the Company’s Infusion Services and Home Health Services segments, the Company also recognizes nursing revenue as the estimated net realizable amounts from patients and Plan Sponsors for services rendered and products provided.  This revenue is recognized as the treatment plan is administered to the patient and is recorded at amounts estimated to be received under reimbursement or payment arrangements with payors.

Under the Medicare Prospective Payment System program, net revenue is recorded based on a reimbursement rate which varies based on the severity of the patient’s condition, service needs and certain other factors.  Revenue is recognized ratably over a 60-day episode period and is subject to adjustment during this period if there are significant changes in the patient’s condition during the treatment period or if the patient is discharged but readmitted to another agency within the same 60-day episodic period.  Medicare cash receipts under the prospective payment system are initially recognized as deferred revenue and are subsequently recognized as revenue over the 60-day episode period.  The process for recognizing revenue under the Medicare program is based on certain assumptions and judgments, the appropriateness of the clinical assessment of each patient at the time of certification, and the level of adjustments to the fixed reimbursement rate relating to patients who receive a limited number of visits, have significant changes in condition or are subject to certain other factors during the episode.
