PharMerica is a Fortune 1000 company formed in January 2007 from the merger of Kindred Healthcare's pharmacy business with a subsidiary of AmerisourceBergen.[1]
The company is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, and operates a major customer support center in Tampa, Florida.[2]
Overview
PharMerica's main clients are senior living communities, nursing facilities, public health organizations and post-acute care organizations.[3] Its affiliates are Pharmacy Alternatives, PropacPayless, ChemRX, and CIPRx.[4][5][6][7]
The company is the second largest in the institutional pharmacy services market, with revenues of $1.9 billion and a customer base of 330,000 "beds" in 41 U.S. states.
In August 2011, pharmacy services provider Omnicare made a bid of $457 million for all outstanding shares of PharMerica.[8][9] The Federal Trade Commission sued Omnicare to block the deal on the basis that the FTC believed the acquisition would lead to higher drug prices.[10][11] In February 2012, Omnicare allowed its offer to the shareholders of PharMerica to expire.[12][13]
In August 2017, CNBC reported that PharMerica was to be acquired by KKR, in a deal worth $1.4 billion, including debt.[14][15][16][17]
