Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments	Segments The Company reassessed its segment report following the sale of the Portamedic service line on September 30, 2013 and again in connection with the Alliance Agreement with CRL. Following the sale of the Portamedic service line, the Company reassessed its segment reporting to align with the information that the Company's chief operating decision maker regularly reviewed subsequent to the sale of Portamedic. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company previously reported financial results in three segments: Health and Wellness (health risk assessments including biometric screenings), Heritage Labs (laboratory testing) and Hooper Holmes Services (health information services). Pursuant to the Alliance Agreement with CRL, among other things, the Company has agreed to sell certain assets comprising the Company’s Heritage Labs and Hooper Holmes Services business units, which represent the Heritage Labs and Hooper Holmes Services reportable segments. As the reportable segments have been reported as discontinued operations in this Report, segment information is no longer provided for Heritage Labs and Hooper Holmes Services. The Company has also reassessed its segment reporting following the Alliance Agreement with CRL to align with the information that is regularly reviewed. Subsequent to the closing of the Alliance Agreement with CRL, the Company expects to have one segment, consisting of the Health and Wellness operations. As of June 30, 2014, substantially all of the Company's services are provided within the United States, and substantially all of the Company's assets are located within the United States.
