PharMerica's main clients are senior living communities, nursing facilities, public health organizations and post-acute care organizations. Its affiliates are Pharmacy Alternatives, PropacPayless, ChemRX, and CIPRx. 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. 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. In February 2012, Omnicare allowed its offer to the shareholders of PharMerica to expire. In August 2017, CNBC reported that PharMerica was to be acquired by KKR, in a deal worth $1.4 billion, including debt.
