Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information
Segment Reporting

Effective for the first quarter of 2019, the Company realigned the composition of its segments to correspond with changes to its operating model and reflect how its CODM reviews information and manages the business. As a result of this realignment, the Company’s SilverScript® PDP moved from the Pharmacy Services segment to the Health Care Benefits segment. In addition, the Company moved Aetna’s mail order and specialty pharmacy operations from the Health Care Benefits segment to the Pharmacy Services segment. Segment financial information has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect these changes.

The Company has three operating segments, Pharmacy Services, Retail/LTC and Health Care Benefits, as well as a Corporate/Other segment. The Company’s segments maintain separate financial information, and the CODM evaluates the segments’ operating results on a regular basis in deciding how to allocate resources among the segments and in assessing segment performance. The CODM evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments based on adjusted operating income. Effective for the first quarter of 2019, adjusted operating income is defined as operating income (GAAP measure) excluding the impact of amortization of intangible assets and other items, if any, that neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company’s business nor reflect the Company’s underlying business performance. Segment financial information has been retrospectively adjusted to conform with the current period presentation. See the reconciliation of consolidated operating income (GAAP measure) to adjusted operating income below for further context regarding the items excluded from operating income in determining adjusted operating income. The Company uses adjusted operating income as its principal measure of segment performance as it enhances the Company’s ability to compare past financial performance with current performance and analyze underlying business performance and trends. Non-GAAP financial measures the Company discloses, such as consolidated adjusted operating income, should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP.

In 2018, 2017 and 2016, approximately 9.8%, 12.3% and 11.7%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenues were from Aetna, a Pharmacy Services segment client. On November 28, 2018, the Company completed the Aetna Acquisition. Subsequent to the Aetna Acquisition, transactions with Aetna will continue to be reported within the Pharmacy Services segment, but are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(1)
Total revenues of PSS include approximately $11.4 billion, $10.8 billion and $10.5 billion of retail co-payments for 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. See Note 1 ‘‘Significant Accounting Policies’’ for additional information about retail co-payments.
(2)
Intersegment eliminations relate to intersegment revenue generating activities that occur between PSS, RLS and/or HCBS.
(3)
Corporate/Other segment net investment income for 2018 includes interest income of $536 million related to the proceeds of the $40 billion 2018 Notes. This amount is for the period prior to the close of the Aetna Acquisition, which occurred on November 28, 2018.
(4)
Amounts revised to reflect the reclassification of interest income from interest expense, net to net investment income within total revenues to conform with insurance company presentation which increased total revenues and operating income by $21 million and $20 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively.


In conjunction with the Company’s implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system in the first quarter of 2018, the Company changed the manner in which certain shared functional costs are allocated to its reportable segments. Additionally, in connection with the Aetna Acquisition on November 28, 2018, the Company reclassified interest income from interest expense, net to net investment income within revenues to conform with insurance company presentation.

Segment financial information for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect this change to the Company’s cost allocation methodology, net investment income presentation and segment realignment as shown below:

_____________________________________________ 
(1)
Intangible assets relate to the Company’s acquisition activities and are amortized over their useful lives. The amortization of intangible assets is reflected in the Company’s GAAP consolidated statements of operations in operating expenses within each segment. The amortization of intangible assets is not directly related to the core performance of the Company’s business operations since this amortization does not directly relate to the underwriting of the Company’s insurance products, the services performed for the Company’s customers or the sale of the Company’s products or services. Subsequent to the applicable acquisition date, the Company’s revenues and results of operations include the results of each of the Company’s acquisitions, which are supported by these intangible assets.
(2)
In 2018 and 2017, acquisition-related transaction and integration costs relate to the acquisitions of Aetna and Omnicare. In 2016, the acquisition-related integration costs relate to the acquisitions of Omnicare and the pharmacy and clinic businesses of Target. The acquisition-related transaction and integration costs are reflected in the Company’s GAAP consolidated statement of operations in operating expenses within the Corporate/Other segment and RLS.
(3)
In 2018, the goodwill impairments relate to the LTC reporting unit within RLS. In 2017, the goodwill impairments relate to the RxCrossroads reporting unit within RLS.
(4)
In 2018, impairment of long-lived assets primarily relates to the impairment of property and equipment within RLS and is reflected in operating expenses in the Company’s GAAP consolidated statement of operations.
(5)
In 2018, the loss on divestiture of subsidiary represents the pre-tax loss on the sale of the Company’s RxCrossroads subsidiary for $725 million on January 2, 2018. In 2017, the loss on divestiture of subsidiary represents transaction costs associated with the sale of RxCrossroads. The loss on divestiture of subsidiary costs are reflected the Company’s GAAP consolidated statement of operations in operating expenses within RLS and Corporate/Other segment.
(6)
In 2018, the Company recorded interest income of $536 million on the proceeds of its unsecured senior notes issued in March 2018 to partially fund the Aetna Acquisition. All amounts are for the periods prior to the close of the Aetna Acquisition, which occurred on November 28, 2018, and were recorded within the Corporate/Other segment.
(7)
In 2017 and 2016, charges in connection with store rationalization related to the Company’s enterprise streamlining initiative. The charges in connection with store rationalization are reflected in the Company’s GAAP consolidated statement of operations in operating expenses within RLS.
(8)
In 2016, adjustments to legal reserves in connection with certain legal settlements relate to a reversal of an accrual in connection with a legal settlement within PSS and a charge related to a legacy lawsuit challenging the 1999 legal settlement of MedPartners of various securities class actions and a related derivative claim within the Corporate/Other segment. The adjustments to legal reserves are reflected in the Company’s GAAP consolidated statement of operations in operating expenses.
