Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events Other Financing Arrangements On November 3, 2014, we renewed our committed receivables sales facility program through Cardinal Health Funding, LLC ("CHF") through November 3, 2017 and increased the size of the facility from $700 million to $950 million. CHF was organized for the sole purpose of buying receivables and selling undivided interests in those receivables to third-party purchasers. Although consolidated in accordance with GAAP, CHF is a separate legal entity from Cardinal Health and from our subsidiary that sells receivables to CHF. CHF is designed to be a special purpose, bankruptcy-remote entity whose assets are available solely to satisfy the claims of its creditors. Share Repurchases During October 2014, we repurchased 3.1 million common shares having an aggregate cost of $231 million. The average price paid per common share was $74.12.
