BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards [Text Block] | Bristol-Myers Squibb Company prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the SEC and U.S. GAAP for interim reporting. Under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required for annual financial statements can be condensed or omitted. The Company is responsible for the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 . All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the 2017 Form 10-K. Refer to the Summary of Abbreviated Terms at the end of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for terms used throughout the document. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Accordingly, the results and trends in these unaudited consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of full year operating results. The preparation of financial statements requires the use of management estimates, judgments and assumptions. The most significant assumptions are estimates used in determining sales rebate and return accruals; legal contingencies; income taxes; and pension and postretirement benefits. Actual results may differ from estimates. Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Loss/(gain) on equity investments previously presented in Other adjustments in the consolidated statements of cash flows is now presented separately. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Revenue from Contracts with Customers Amended guidance for revenue recognition was adopted in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method with the cumulative effect of the change recognized in Retained earnings. The new guidance, referred to as ASC 606, requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and replaces most of the existing revenue recognition standards in U.S. GAAP. A five-step model is utilized to achieve the core principle: (1) identify the customer contract; (2) identify the contract’s performance obligation; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation; and (5) recognize revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied. The timing of recognizing revenue for typical net product sales to our customers did not significantly change. However, transaction prices are no longer required to be fixed or determinable and certain variable consideration might be recognized prior to the occurrence or resolution of the contingent event. As a result, certain revenue previously deferred under the prior standard because the transaction price was not fixed or determinable is now accounted for as variable consideration and might be recognized earlier provided such terms are sufficient to reliably estimate the ultimate price expected to be realized. Estimated future royalties and contingent fees related to certain arrangements are now recognized prior to the third party sale or event occurring to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of estimated cumulative revenue will not occur. The new guidance pertaining to the separation of licensing rights and related fee recognition did not significantly change the timing of recognizing revenue in our existing alliance arrangements that are currently generating revenue. The timing of royalties, sales-based milestones and other forms of contingent consideration resulting from the divestiture of businesses as well as royalties and sales-based milestones from licensing arrangements did not change. The cumulative effect of the accounting change resulted in recognizing contract assets of $214 million and a $168 million increase in Retained earnings net of tax. The cumulative effect was primarily attributed to royalties and licensing rights reacquired by alliance partners that are expected to be received in the future and are not eligible for the licensing exclusion. As a result of the new guidance and cumulative effect adjustment, revenue was approximately $53 million and $151 million lower in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, compared to what would have been reported under the previous guidance. Refer to "—Note 3 . Revenue " for further information. Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets Amended guidance for gains and losses from the derecognition of nonfinancial assets (ASC 610) was adopted in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The amendments clarify the scope of asset derecognition guidance, add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets and clarify recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. Certain transactions such as the sale or transfer of product rights that do not constitute a business will require accounting similar to ASC 606 including the potential recognition of variable consideration. The amended guidance may result in earlier recognition of variable consideration depending on the facts and circumstances of each transaction. The cumulative effect of the accounting change resulted in recognizing contract assets of $167 million and a $130 million increase in Retained earnings net of tax. The cumulative effect was primarily attributed to royalties and termination fees for licensing rights reacquired by third parties that are expected to be received in the future and are not eligible for the licensing exclusion. As a result of the new guidance and cumulative effect adjustment, Other income (net) was approximately $4 million and $16 million lower in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, compared to what would have been reported under the previous guidance. Presentation of Net Periodic Pension and Postretirement Benefits Amended guidance requiring all net periodic benefit components for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans other than service costs to be recorded outside of income from operations (other income) was adopted in the first quarter of 2018 on a retrospective basis. Cost of products sold; Marketing, selling and administrative; and Research and development expenses increased in the aggregate with a corresponding offset in Other income (net). As adjusted amounts upon adoption of the new guidance are as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Dollars in Millions As Previously Reported As Adjusted As Previously Reported As Adjusted Cost of products sold $ 1,572 $ 1,579 $ 4,393 $ 4,413 Marketing, selling and administrative 1,147 1,163 3,388 3,435 Research and development 1,543 1,561 4,490 4,543 Other income (net) (191 ) (232 ) (1,377 ) (1,497 ) Definition of a Business Amended guidance which revises the definition of a business was adopted prospectively in the first quarter of 2018. The amendment provides an initial screen that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired or disposed of is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, an integrated set of assets and activities would not represent a business. If the screen is not met, the set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contributes to the ability to create outputs for the set to represent a business. The amendment also narrows the definition of the term "output" and requires the transfer of an organized work force when outputs do not exist. The amended guidance may result in more transactions being accounted for as assets in the future with the impact to our results of operations dependent on the individual facts and circumstances of each transaction. Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities Amended guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments was adopted using the modified retrospective method in the first quarter of 2018. The new guidance requires that fair value adjustments for equity investments with readily determinable fair values be reported through earnings. The new guidance also requires a qualitative impairment assessment for equity investments without a readily determinable fair value based upon observable price changes and a charge through earnings if an impairment exists. The cumulative effect of the accounting change resulted in a $36 million reduction to Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) and a corresponding $34 million increase to Retained earnings, net of tax. Refer to "— Note 6 . Other Income (Net) for further information and the impact on the results of operations. Accounting for Hedging Activities Amended guidance for derivatives and hedging was adopted using the modified retrospective method in the first quarter of 2018. The amended guidance revises and expands items eligible for hedge accounting, simplifies hedge effectiveness testing and changes the timing of recognition and presentation for certain hedged items. Certain disclosure requirements were also modified for hedging activities on a prospective basis. The adoption of the amended standard did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income In February 2018, the FASB issued amended guidance on income tax accounting. The amended guidance permits the reclassification of the income tax effect on amounts recorded within Other comprehensive income impacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into Retained earnings. The amended guidance is effective for periods ending after December 15, 2018 and applies only to those amounts remaining in Other comprehensive income at the date of enactment of the Act. The amended guidance may be adopted on either a retrospective basis or at the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is assessing the potential impact of the amended standard. In addition, the following recently issued accounting standards have not been adopted. Refer to the 2017 Form 10-K for additional information and their potential impacts.

Revenue Recognition [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block] | REVENUE The following table summarizes the disaggregation of revenue by nature: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, Dollars in Millions 2018 2017 2018 2017 Net product sales $ 5,433 $ 4,862 $ 15,866 $ 14,212 Alliance revenues 177 232 483 694 Other revenues 81 160 239 421 Total Revenues $ 5,691 $ 5,254 $ 16,588 $ 15,327 Net product sales represent more than 90% of the Company’s total revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 . Products are sold principally to wholesalers or distributors and to a lesser extent, directly to retailers, hospitals, clinics, government agencies and pharmacies. Customer orders are generally fulfilled within a few days of receipt resulting in minimal order backlog. Contractual performance obligations are usually limited to transfer of control of the product to the customer. The transfer occurs either upon shipment or upon receipt of the product in certain non-U.S. countries after considering when the customer obtains legal title to the product and when the Company obtains a right of payment. At these points, customers are able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of the product. Wholesalers are initially invoiced at contractual list prices. Payment terms are typically 30 to 90 days based on customary practices in each country with the exception of certain biologic products in the U.S., including Opdivo , Yervoy and Empliciti ( 90 days to 120 days). Revenue is reduced from wholesaler list price at the time of recognition for expected charge-backs, discounts, rebates, sales allowances and product returns, which are referred to as gross-to-net (GTN) adjustments. These reductions are attributed to various commercial arrangements, managed healthcare organizations and government programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and the 340B Drug Pricing Program containing various pricing implications such as mandatory discounts, pricing protection below wholesaler list price or other discounts when Medicare Part D beneficiaries are in the coverage gap. In addition, non-U.S. government programs include different pricing schemes such as cost caps, volume discounts, outcome-based pricing and pricing claw-backs determined on sales of individual companies or an aggregation of companies participating in a specific market. Charge-backs and cash discounts are reflected as a reduction to receivables and settled through the issuance of credits to the customer, typically within one month. All other rebates, discounts and adjustments, including Medicaid and Medicare, are reflected as a liability and settled through cash payments to the customer, typically within various time periods ranging from a few months to one year. Significant judgment is required in estimating GTN adjustments considering legal interpretations of applicable laws and regulations, historical experience, payer channel mix, current contract prices under applicable programs, unbilled claims, processing time lags and inventory levels in the distribution channel. The following table summarizes GTN adjustments: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, Dollars in Millions 2018 2017 2018 2017 Gross product sales $ 7,681 $ 6,555 $ 21,891 $ 18,723 GTN adjustments (a) Charge-backs and cash discounts (711 ) (583 ) (1,957 ) (1,521 ) Medicaid and Medicare rebates (847 ) (573 ) (2,169 ) (1,474 ) Other rebates, returns, discounts and adjustments (690 ) (537 ) (1,899 ) (1,516 ) Total GTN adjustments (2,248 ) (1,693 ) (6,025 ) (4,511 ) Net product sales $ 5,433 $ 4,862 $ 15,866 $ 14,212 (a) Includes adjustments to provisions for product sales made in prior periods resulting from changes in estimates of $(7) million and $11 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and $103 million and $65 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Alliance and other revenues consist primarily of amounts related to collaborations and out-licensing arrangements. Each of these arrangements are evaluated for whether they represent contracts that are within the scope of the revenue recognition guidance in their entirety or contain aspects that are within the scope of the guidance, either directly or by reference based upon the application of the guidance related to the derecognition of nonfinancial assets (ASC 610). Performance obligations are identified and separated when the other party can benefit directly from the rights, goods or services either on their own or together with other readily available resources and when the rights, goods or services are not highly interdependent or interrelated. Transaction prices for these arrangements may include fixed up-front amounts as well as variable consideration such as contingent development and regulatory milestones, sales-based milestones and royalties. The most likely amount method is used to estimate contingent development, regulatory and sales-based milestones because the ultimate outcomes are binary in nature. The expected value method is used to estimate royalties because a broad range of potential outcomes exist, except for instances in which such royalties relate to a license. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized is not probable of occurring when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Significant judgment is required in estimating the amount of variable consideration to recognize when assessing factors outside of BMS’s influence such as likelihood of regulatory success, limited availability of third party information, expected duration of time until resolution, lack of relevant past experience, historical practice of offering fee concessions and a large number and broad range of possible amounts. To the extent arrangements include multiple performance obligations that are separable, the transaction price assigned to each distinct performance obligation is reflective of the relative stand-alone selling price and recognized at a point in time upon the transfer of control. Three types of out-licensing arrangements are typically utilized: 1) arrangements when we out-license intellectual property to another party and have no further performance obligations; 2) arrangements that include a license and an additional performance obligation to supply product upon the request of the third party; and 3) collaboration arrangements, which include transferring a license to a third party to jointly develop and commercialize a product. Most out-licensing arrangements consist of a single performance obligation that is satisfied upon execution of the agreement when the development and commercialization rights are transferred to a third party. Up-front fees are recognized immediately and included in other income. Although contingent development and regulatory milestone amounts are assessed each period for the likelihood of achievement, they are typically constrained and recognized when the uncertainty is subsequently resolved for the full amount of the milestone and included in other income. Sales-based milestones and royalties are recognized when the milestone is achieved or the subsequent sales occur. Sales-based milestones are included in other income and royalties are included in alliance and other revenue. Certain out-licensing arrangements may also include contingent performance obligations to supply commercial product to the third party upon its request. The license and supply obligations are accounted for as separate performance obligations as they are considered distinct because the third party can benefit from the license either on its own or together with other supply resources readily available to it and the obligations are separately identifiable from other obligations in the contract in accordance with the revenue recognition guidance. After considering the standalone selling prices in these situations, up-front fees, contingent development and regulatory milestone amounts and sales-based milestone and royalties are allocated to the license and recognized in the manner described above. Consideration for the supply obligation is usually based upon stipulated cost-plus margin contractual terms which represent a standalone selling price. The supply consideration is recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control of the product to the third party and included in alliance and other revenue. The above fee allocation between the license and the supply represents the amount of consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to for the satisfaction of the separate performance obligations. Although collaboration arrangements are unique in nature, both parties are active participants in the operating activities and are exposed to significant risks and rewards depending on the commercial success of the activities. Performance obligations inherent in these arrangements may include the transfer of certain development or commercialization rights, ongoing development and commercialization services and product supply obligations. Except for certain product supply obligations which are considered distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations similar to the manner discussed above, all other performance obligations are not considered distinct and are combined into a single performance obligation since the transferred rights are highly integrated and interrelated to our obligation to jointly develop and commercialize the product with the third party. As a result, up-front fees are recognized over time throughout the expected period of the collaboration activities and included in other income as the license is combined with other development and commercialization obligations. Contingent development and regulatory milestones that are no longer constrained are recognized in a similar manner on a prospective basis. Royalties and profit sharing are recognized when the underlying sales and profits occur and are included in alliance and other revenue. Refer to "-Note 4. Alliances" for further information.

Cumulative catch-up adjustments to revenue affecting contract assets or contract liabilities were not material during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 . Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was $97 million and $398 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , consisting primarily of royalties for out-licensing arrangements and revised estimates for gross-to-net adjustments related to prior period sales. Sales commissions and other incremental costs of obtaining customer contracts are expensed as incurred as the amortization periods would be less than one year. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Alliances [Text Block] | ALLIANCES BMS enters into collaboration arrangements with third parties for the development and commercialization of certain products. Although each of these arrangements is unique in nature, both parties are active participants in the operating activities of the collaboration and are exposed to significant risks and rewards depending on the commercial success of the activities. BMS may either in-license intellectual property owned by the other party or out-license its intellectual property to the other party. These arrangements also typically include research, development, manufacturing and/or commercial activities and can cover a single investigational compound or commercial product or multiple compounds and/or products in various life cycle stages. The rights and obligations of the parties can be global or limited to geographic regions. We refer to these collaborations as alliances and our partners as alliance partners. Products sold through alliance arrangements in certain markets include prioritized products and certain other brands. Selected financial information pertaining to our alliances was as follows, including net product sales when BMS is the principal in the third-party customer sale for products subject to the alliance. Expenses summarized below do not include all amounts attributed to the activities for the products in the alliance, but only the payments between the alliance partners or the related amortization if the payments were deferred or capitalized. Certain prior period amounts included below were revised to exclude amounts for arrangements that no longer meet the criteria for collaboration arrangements.

Amortization of deferred income (primarily related to alliances) was $16 million and $20 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and $48 million and $59 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The nature and purpose, significant rights and obligations of the parties and specific accounting policy elections for each of our significant alliances are discussed in our 2017 Form 10-K. Significant developments and updates related to alliances during 2018 are set forth below. Nektar In the second quarter of 2018, BMS and Nektar commenced a worldwide license and collaboration for the development and commercialization of NKTR-214, Nektar’s investigational immuno-stimulatory therapy designed to selectively expand specific cancer-fighting T cells and natural killer cells directly in the tumor micro-environment. The Opdivo and NKTR-214 combination therapy is currently in Phase II clinical studies for multiple cancer indications and in a Phase III clinical study for melanoma. A joint development plan agreed by the parties contemplates development in various indications and tumor types with each party responsible for the supply of their own product. BMS’s share of the development costs associated with therapies comprising a BMS medicine used in combination with NKTR-214 is 67.5% , subject to certain cost caps for Nektar. The parties will also jointly commercialize the therapies, subject to regulatory approval. BMS's share of global NKTR-214 profits and losses will be 35% subject to certain annual loss caps for Nektar. BMS paid Nektar $1.85 billion for the rights discussed above and 8.3 million shares of Nektar common stock representing a 4.8% ownership interest. BMS’s equity ownership is subject to certain lock-up, standstill and voting provisions for a five -year period. The amount of the up-front payment allocated to the equity investment was $800 million after considering Nektar’s stock price on the date of closing and current limitations on trading the securities. The remaining $1.05 billion of the up-front payment was allocated to the rights discussed above and included in research and development expense in the second quarter of 2018. BMS will also pay up to $1.8 billion upon the achievement of contingent development, regulatory and sales-based milestones over the life of the alliance period. Ono In the third quarter of 2018, BMS provided Ono with a right to accept NKTR-214 into their alliance upon completion of a Phase I clinical study of Opdivo and NKTR-214 in the Ono Territory. If the right is exercised, Ono will partially reimburse BMS for development costs incurred with the study and share in certain future development costs, contingent milestone payments, profits and losses under the collaboration with Nektar. Promedior In the third quarter of 2018, BMS notified Promedior that it would not exercise its warrant to purchase all outstanding shares of Promedior. |

Manufacturing Operations In the fourth quarter of 2017, BMS sold its small molecule active pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing operations in Swords, Ireland to SK Biotek for approximately $165 million , subject to certain adjustments. The transaction was accounted for as the sale of a business. SK Biotek will provide certain manufacturing services for BMS through 2022. Diabetes Business In the first quarter of 2017, BMS received $100 million from AstraZeneca as additional contingent consideration for the diabetes business divestiture upon achievement of a regulatory approval milestone, which was included in Other income (net). Mature Brands and Other Divestitures include several brands sold to Cheplapharm resulting in proceeds of $153 million and divestiture gains of $127 million in 2018. Licensing Arrangements Biogen In the second quarter of 2017, BMS out-licensed to Biogen exclusive rights to develop and commercialize BMS-986168, an anti-eTau compound in development for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. Biogen paid $300 million to BMS which was included in Other income (net). BMS is also entitled to contingent development, regulatory and sales-based milestone payments of up to $410 million if achieved and future royalties. BMS originally acquired the rights to this compound in 2014 through its acquisition of iPierian. Biogen assumed all of BMS’s remaining obligations to the former stockholders of iPierian. Roche In the second quarter of 2017, BMS out-licensed to Roche exclusive rights to develop and commercialize BMS-986089, an anti-myostatin adnectin in development for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Roche paid $170 million to BMS which was included in Other income (net). BMS is also entitled to contingent development and regulatory milestone payments of up to $205 million if achieved and future royalties. |

Restructuring Charges [Abstract] | |
Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | RESTRUCTURING In October 2016, the Company announced a restructuring plan to evolve and streamline its operating model. The majority of the charges are expected to be incurred through 2020, range between $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion and consist of employee termination benefit costs, contract termination costs, plant and equipment accelerated depreciation and impairment charges and other shutdown costs associated with early manufacturing and R&D site exits. Cash outlays in connection with these actions are expected to be approximately 40% to 50% of the total charges. Charges of approximately $1.0 billion have been recognized for these actions since the announcement ( $200 million and $534 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively). Restructuring charges are recognized upon meeting certain criteria, including finalization of committed plans, reliable estimates and discussions with local works councils in certain markets. Employee workforce reductions were approximately 600 and 1,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The following tables summarize the charges and activity related to the restructuring actions: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, Dollars in Millions 2018 2017 2018 2017 Employee termination costs $ 37 $ 18 $ 72 $ 190 Other termination costs 8 10 30 17 Provision for restructuring 45 28 102 207 Accelerated depreciation 30 64 82 216 Asset impairments — 1 10 144 Other shutdown costs 1 — 6 3 Total charges $ 76 $ 93 $ 200 $ 570 Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, Dollars in Millions 2018 2017 2018 2017 Cost of products sold $ 12 $ 1 $ 39 $ 131 Marketing, selling and administrative 1 — 2 — Research and development 18 64 57 232 Other income (net) 45 28 102 207 Total charges $ 76 $ 93 $ 200 $ 570 Nine Months Ended September 30, Dollars in Millions 2018 2017 Liability at January 1 $ 186 $ 114 Charges 108 233 Change in estimates (6 ) (26 ) Provision for restructuring 102 207 Foreign currency translation 2 17 Payments (171 ) (179 ) Liability at September 30 $ 119 $ 159 |

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | INCOME TAXES Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, Dollars in Millions 2018 2017 2018 2017 Earnings Before Income Taxes $ 2,167 $ 1,183 $ 4,463 $ 4,433 Provision for Income Taxes 255 327 674 1,129 Effective Tax Rate 11.8 % 27.6 % 15.1 % 25.5 % New tax reform legislation in the U.S. was enacted on December 22, 2017 known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the Act). The Act moves from a worldwide tax system to a quasi-territorial tax system and comprises broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code including, but not limited to, (1) reducing the U.S. tax rate from 35% to 21% ; (2) adding a deemed repatriation transition tax on certain foreign earnings and profits; (3) generally eliminating U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries; (4) including certain income of controlled foreign companies in U.S. taxable income; (5) creating a new minimum tax referred to as a base erosion anti-abuse income tax; (6) limiting certain research-based credits; and (7) eliminating the domestic manufacturing deduction. Although many aspects of the Act were not effective until 2018, additional tax expense of $2.9 billion was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017 upon its enactment, including a $2.6 billion one-time deemed repatriation transition tax on previously untaxed post-1986 foreign earnings and profits (including related tax reserves). The accounting for the $2.6 billion was and continues to be incomplete as we do not have all of the necessary information available, prepared and analyzed to complete the accounting. However, a reasonable estimate of this tax was recorded as a provisional amount. The provisional amount was reduced by $49 million in 2018, and may continue to change until completed in the fourth quarter of 2018 if additional interpretations of the relevant tax code are released. The provisional adjustment discussed above, jurisdictional tax rates and other tax impacts attributed to non-deductible R&D charges, Nektar equity investment fair value adjustments and other specified items decreased the effective tax rate by 1.5% and 0.8% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , and increased the effective tax rate by 4.7% and 3.7% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , respectively. The tax impact of these discrete items are reflected immediately and are not considered in estimating the annual effective tax rate. In addition to the ongoing impact of U.S. tax reform discussed above, a $49 million tax reserve release, a higher Puerto Rico excise tax credit and unfavorable changes in earnings mix resulted in a reduction to the effective tax rates of 9.6% and 5.9% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 from prior year comparable periods, respectively. Additional changes to the effective tax rate may occur in future periods due to various reasons including pretax earnings mix, tax reserves, cash repatriations and revised interpretations of the relevant tax code. BMS is currently under examination by a number of tax authorities, which have proposed or are considering proposing material adjustments to tax positions for issues such as transfer pricing, certain tax credits and the deductibility of certain expenses. It is reasonably possible that new issues will be raised by tax authorities, which may require adjustments to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits; however, an estimate of such adjustments cannot reasonably be made at this time. It is also reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2018 could decrease in the range of approximately $305 million to $355 million in the next twelve months as a result of the settlement of certain tax audits and other events. The expected change in unrecognized tax benefits may result in the payment of additional taxes, adjustment of certain deferred taxes and/or recognition of tax benefits. |

Cash Flow Hedges — Foreign currency forward contracts are used to hedge certain forecasted intercompany inventory purchase transactions and certain foreign currency transactions. The fair value for contracts designated as cash flow hedges is temporarily reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and included in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Upon adoption of the amended guidance for derivatives and hedging, the entire change in fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recorded in the derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges component of Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss). The net gain or loss on foreign currency forward contracts is expected to be reclassified to net earnings (primarily included in cost of products sold) within the next twelve months. The notional amount of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was primarily attributed to the euro ( $861 million ) and Japanese yen ( $393 million ) at September 30, 2018 . The earnings impact related to discontinued cash flow hedges and hedge ineffectiveness was not significant during all periods presented. Cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued when the forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring within 60 days after the originally forecasted date or when the hedge is no longer effective. Assessments to determine whether derivatives designated as qualifying hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items are performed at inception and on a quarterly basis. Foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments are used to offset exposures in certain foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and earnings. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in earnings as they occur. Net Investment Hedges — Non-U.S. dollar borrowings of €950 million ( $1.1 billion ) are designated to hedge euro currency exposures of the net investment in certain foreign affiliates. These borrowings are designated as net investment hedges and recognized in long-term debt. The effective portion of foreign exchange gain or loss on the remeasurement of euro debt was $10 million in 2018 and $132 million in 2017 and was recorded in the foreign currency translation component of Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) with a related offset in long-term debt. In January 2018, BMS entered into $300 million of cross-currency interest rate swap contracts maturing in December 2022 designated to hedge Japanese yen currency exposures of the Company's net investment in its Japan subsidiary. Contract fair value changes are recorded in the foreign currency translation component of Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) with a related offset in Pension and other liabilities. Fair Value Hedges — Fixed to floating interest rate swap contracts are designated as fair value hedges and used as an interest rate risk management strategy to create an appropriate balance of fixed and floating rate debt. The contracts and underlying debt for the hedged benchmark risk are recorded at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value of the underlying debt attributable to the hedged benchmark interest rate risk are recorded in interest expense with an associated offset to the carrying value of debt. Since the specific terms and notional amount of the swap are intended to match those of the debt being hedged, all changes in fair value of the swap are recorded in interest expense with an associated offset to the derivative asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheet. As a result, there was no net impact in earnings. When the underlying swap is terminated prior to maturity, the fair value adjustment to the underlying debt is amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt. Debt Obligations Short-term debt obligations include: Dollars in Millions September 30, December 31, Commercial paper $ — $ 299 Non-U.S. short-term borrowings 312 512 Current portion of long-term debt 1,247 — Other 61 176 Total $ 1,620 $ 987 The average amount of commercial paper outstanding was $25.1 million at a weighted-average rate of 1.3% during 2018. The maximum amount of commercial paper outstanding was $300 million with no outstanding balance at September 30, 2018 . Long-term debt and the current portion of long-term debt include: Dollars in Millions September 30, December 31, Principal Value $ 6,819 $ 6,835 Adjustments to Principal Value Fair value of interest rate swap contracts (19 ) (6 ) Unamortized basis adjustment from swap terminations 207 227 Unamortized bond discounts and issuance costs (73 ) (81 ) Total $ 6,934 $ 6,975 Current portion of long-term debt $ 1,247 $ — Long-term debt 5,687 6,975 In February 2017, BMS issued $1.5 billion in senior unsecured notes in a registered public offering. Proceeds, net of discount and deferred loan issuance costs, were $1.49 billion . The fair value of long-term debt was $7.1 billion at September 30, 2018 and $7.5 billion at December 31, 2017 valued using Level 2 inputs. Interest payments were $174 million and $172 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, net of amounts related to interest rate swap contracts. During the third quarter of 2017, the $750 million 0.875% Notes matured and were repaid. During the second quarter of 2017, the Company repurchased certain long-term debt obligations with interest rates ranging from 5.875% to 6.875% . The following summarizes the debt repurchase activity: Dollars in Millions 2017 Principal amount $ 337 Carrying value 366 Debt redemption price 474 Loss on debt redemption (a) 109 (a) Including acceleration of debt issuance costs, gain on previously terminated interest rate swap contracts and other related fees. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Legal Proceedings and Contingencies [Text Block] | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits, claims, government investigations and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These claims or proceedings can involve various types of parties, including governments, competitors, customers, suppliers, service providers, licensees, employees, or shareholders, among others. The resolution of these matters often develops over a long period of time and expectations can change as a result of new findings, rulings, appeals or settlement arrangements. The Company recognizes accruals for such contingencies when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. These matters involve patent infringement, antitrust, securities, pricing, sales and marketing practices, environmental, commercial, contractual rights, licensing obligations, health and safety matters, consumer fraud, employment matters, product liability and insurance coverage. Legal proceedings that are material or that the Company believes could become material are described below. Although the Company believes it has substantial defenses in these matters, there can be no assurance that there will not be an increase in the scope of pending matters or that any future lawsuits, claims, government investigations or other legal proceedings will not be material. Unless otherwise noted, the Company is unable to assess the outcome of the respective litigation nor is it able to provide an estimated range of potential loss. Furthermore, failure to enforce our patent rights would likely result in substantial decreases in the respective product revenues from generic competition. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Plavix* - Australia As previously disclosed, Sanofi was notified that, in August 2007, GenRx Proprietary Limited (GenRx) obtained regulatory approval of an application for clopidogrel bisulfate 75mg tablets in Australia. GenRx, formerly a subsidiary of Apotex Inc. (Apotex), has since changed its name to Apotex. In August 2007, Apotex filed an application in the Federal Court of Australia (the Federal Court) seeking revocation of Sanofi’s Australian Patent No. 597784 (Case No. NSD 1639 of 2007). Sanofi filed counterclaims of infringement and sought an injunction. On September 21, 2007, the Federal Court granted Sanofi’s injunction. A subsidiary of the Company was subsequently added as a party to the proceedings. In February 2008, a second company, Spirit Pharmaceuticals Pty. Ltd., also filed a revocation suit against the same patent. This case was consolidated with the Apotex case, and a trial occurred in April 2008. On August 12, 2008, the Federal Court of Australia held that claims of Patent No. 597784 covering clopidogrel bisulfate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, and taurocholate salts were valid. The Federal Court also held that the process claims, pharmaceutical composition claims, and claim directed to clopidogrel and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts were invalid. The Company and Sanofi filed notices of appeal in the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia (Full Court) appealing the holding of invalidity of the claim covering clopidogrel and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, process claims, and pharmaceutical composition claims which have stayed the Federal Court’s ruling. Apotex filed a notice of appeal appealing the holding of validity of the clopidogrel bisulfate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, and taurocholate claims. A hearing on the appeals occurred in February 2009. On September 29, 2009, the Full Court held all of the claims of Patent No. 597784 invalid. In November 2009, the Company and Sanofi applied to the High Court of Australia (High Court) for special leave to appeal the judgment of the Full Court. In March 2010, the High Court denied the Company and Sanofi’s request to hear the appeal of the Full Court decision. The case was remanded to the Federal Court for further proceedings related to damages sought by Apotex. The Company and Apotex have settled the Apotex case, and the case was dismissed. The Australian government has intervened in this matter and is seeking maximum damages up to 449 million AUD ( $325 million ), plus interest, which would be split between the Company and Sanofi, for alleged losses experienced for paying a higher price for branded Plavix* during the period when the injunction was in place. The Company and Sanofi have disputed that the Australian government is entitled to any damages and the Australian government's claim is still pending and a trial was concluded in September 2017. The Company is expecting a decision in 2018. Sprycel - Europe In May 2013, Apotex, Actavis Group PTC ehf, Generics [UK] Limited (Mylan) and an unnamed company filed oppositions in the EPO seeking revocation of European Patent No. 1169038 (the ‘038 patent) covering dasatinib, the active ingredient in Sprycel . The ‘038 patent was granted a six month extension in September 2018 and is now scheduled to expire in October 2020 (excluding potential term extensions). On January 20, 2016, the Opposition Division of the EPO revoked the ‘038 patent. In May 2016, the Company appealed the EPO’s decision to the EPO Board of Appeal. In February 2017, the EPO Board of Appeal upheld the Opposition Division's decision, and revoked the ‘038 patent. Orphan drug exclusivity and data exclusivity for Sprycel in the EU expired in November 2016. The EPO Board of Appeal's decision does not affect the validity of our other Sprycel patents within and outside Europe, including different patents that cover the monohydrate form of dasatinib and the use of dasatinib to treat CML. Additionally, in February 2017, the EPO Board of Appeal reversed and remanded an invalidity decision on European Patent No. 1610780 and its claim to the use of dasatinib to treat CML, which the EPO's Opposition Division had revoked in October 2012. A decision on the remanded opposition is expected to be received following a hearing scheduled in December 2018. The Company intends to take appropriate legal actions to protect Sprycel . Generics have been approved in certain EU markets although they have not yet launched. However, we may experience a decline in European revenues in the event that generic dasatinib product enters the market. Anti-PD-1 Antibody Patent Oppositions and Litigation In September 2015, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Dana-Farber) filed a complaint in Massachusetts federal court seeking to correct the inventorship on up to five related U.S. patents directed to methods of treating cancer using PD-1 and PD-L1 antibodies. Specifically, Dana-Farber is seeking to add two scientists as inventors to these patents. In October 2017, Pfizer was allowed to intervene in this case alleging that one of the scientists identified by Dana-Farber was employed by a company eventually acquired by Pfizer during the relevant period. While an adverse decision in this litigation would not result in monetary liability for the Company, it could decrease potential future licensing revenue from these patents. A trial has been scheduled for February 2019. Eliquis Patent Litigation - U.S. In 2017, twenty-five generic companies sent the Company Paragraph-IV certification letters informing the Company that they had filed abbreviated new drug applications (aNDAs) seeking approval of generic versions of Eliquis . As a result, two Eliquis patents listed in the FDA Orange Book are being challenged: the composition of matter patent claiming apixaban specifically and a formulation patent. In April 2017, the Company, along with its partner Pfizer, initiated patent lawsuits under the Hatch-Waxman Act against all generic filers in federal district courts in Delaware and West Virginia. In August 2017, the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted patent term restoration to the composition of matter patent, thereby restoring the term of the Eliquis composition of matter patent, which is the Company’s basis for projected LOE, from February 2023 to November 2026. The Company has settled lawsuits with a number of aNDA filers through September 2018. The settlements do not affect the Company’s projected LOE for Eliquis . PRICING, SALES AND PROMOTIONAL PRACTICES LITIGATION Plavix* State Attorneys General Lawsuits The Company and certain affiliates of Sanofi are defendants in consumer protection and/or false advertising actions brought by several states relating to the sales and promotion of Plavix* . PRODUCT LIABILITY LITIGATION The Company is a party to various product liability lawsuits. Plaintiffs in these cases seek damages and other relief on various grounds for alleged personal injury and economic loss. As previously disclosed, in addition to lawsuits, the Company also faces unfiled claims involving its products. Byetta* Amylin, a former subsidiary of the Company, and Lilly are co-defendants in product liability litigation related to Byetta*. To date, there are over 530 separate lawsuits pending on behalf of approximately 2,100 active plaintiffs (including pending settlements), which include injury plaintiffs as well as claims by spouses and/or other beneficiaries, in various courts in the U.S. The majority of these cases have been brought by individuals who allege personal injury sustained after using Byetta* , primarily pancreatic cancer, and, in some cases, claiming alleged wrongful death. The majority of cases are pending in Federal Court in San Diego in an MDL or in a coordinated proceeding in California Superior Court in Los Angeles (JCCP). In November 2015, the defendants' motion for summary judgment based on federal preemption was granted in both the MDL and the JCCP. The plaintiffs in the MDL appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In November 2017, the Ninth Circuit reversed the MDL summary judgment order and remanded the case for further proceedings. The JCCP plaintiffs have appealed to the California Court of Appeal and their appeal remains pending. Amylin has product liability insurance covering a substantial number of claims involving Byetta* and any additional liability to Amylin with respect to Byetta* is expected to be shared between the Company and AstraZeneca. Abilify* The Company and Otsuka are co-defendants in product liability litigation related to Abilify* . Plaintiffs allege Abilify* caused them to engage in compulsive gambling and other impulse control disorders. There have been over 2,000 cases filed in state and federal courts and additional cases are pending in Canada. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has consolidated the federal court cases for pretrial purposes in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida. In April 2018, the parties reached a settlement to resolve the first three cases of the MDL that had been set for trial. The Company continues to actively defend the claims in this litigation. Eliquis The Company and Pfizer are co-defendants in product liability litigation related to Eliquis . Plaintiffs assert claims, including claims for wrongful death, as a result of bleeding they allege was caused by their use of Eliquis . As of October 2018, no claims remain pending in the MDL in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Fewer than 10 cases remain pending in state courts and one remains pending in Canada. Over 200 cases have been dismissed with prejudice in the MDL. The claims of 23 plaintiffs are on appeal to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. Onglyza* The Company and AstraZeneca are co-defendants in product liability litigation related to Onglyza* . Plaintiffs assert claims, including claims for wrongful death, as a result of heart failure or other cardiovascular injuries they allege were caused by their use of Onglyza* . As of October 2018, claims are pending in state and federal court on behalf of over 200 individuals who allege they ingested the product and suffered an injury. A significant majority of these claims are pending in federal courts. In February 2018, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ordered all federal cases to be transferred to an MDL in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. As part of the Company’s global diabetes business divestiture, the Company sold Onglyza* to AstraZeneca in February 2014 and any potential liability with respect to Onglyza* is expected to be shared with AstraZeneca. SHAREHOLDER DERIVATIVE LITIGATION Since December 2015, three shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in New York state court against certain officers and directors of the Company. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duty surrounding the Company’s previously disclosed October 2015 civil settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission of alleged Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations in China in which the Company agreed to a payment of approximately $14.7 million in disgorgement, penalties and interest. As of October 2017, all three of the lawsuits have been dismissed. The Company received a notice of appeal as to one of the dismissed lawsuits. SECURITIES LITIGATION Since February 2018, two separate putative class action complaints were filed in the U.S. District for the Northern District of California and in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Giovanni Caforio, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Charles A. Bancroft and certain former and current executives of the Company. The case in California has been voluntarily dismissed. The remaining complaint alleges violations of securities laws for the Company’s disclosures related to the CheckMate-026 clinical trial in lung cancer. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously in this litigation. OTHER LITIGATION In February 2015, the Company acquired Flexus Biosciences, Inc. ("Flexus") including rights to its IDO-1 inhibitor. In September 2015, Incyte Corporation ("Incyte") sued Flexus and Flexus's founders ("Flexus Defendants") in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware. In its initial and subsequent amended complaints, Incyte alleged claims against the Flexus Defendants for the misappropriation of various trade secrets, trade libel, and conspiracy relating to the research and development of Incyte's IDO-1 inhibitor. By opinions dated August 23, 2018 and September 28, 2018, the Superior Court denied Incyte's motions for summary judgment and granted in part motions filed by Flexus and its founders. In those opinions, the court dismissed Incyte's trade libel and conspiracy to commit trade libel claims and dismissed all but two of Incyte's alleged trade secret claims. Trial on the remaining claims commenced on October 22, 2018. GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS Like other pharmaceutical companies, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation by national, state and local government agencies in the U.S. and other countries in which BMS operates. As a result, the Company, from time to time, is subject to various governmental inquiries and investigations. It is possible that criminal charges, substantial fines and/or civil penalties, could result from government investigations. ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEEDINGS As previously reported, the Company is a party to several environmental proceedings and other matters, and is responsible under various state, federal and foreign laws, including CERCLA, for certain costs of investigating and/or remediating contamination resulting from past industrial activity at the Company’s current or former sites or at waste disposal or reprocessing facilities operated by third parties. CERCLA Matters With respect to CERCLA matters for which the Company is responsible under various state, federal and foreign laws, the Company typically estimates potential costs based on information obtained from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or counterpart state or foreign agency and/or studies prepared by independent consultants, including the total estimated costs for the site and the expected cost-sharing, if any, with other “potentially responsible parties,” and the Company accrues liabilities when they are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company estimated its share of future costs for these sites to be $64 million at September 30, 2018 , which represents the sum of best estimates or, where no best estimate can reasonably be made, estimates of the minimal probable amount among a range of such costs (without taking into account any potential recoveries from other parties). The amount includes the estimated costs for any additional probable loss associated with the previously disclosed North Brunswick Township High School Remediation Site. |

The new guidance, referred to as ASC 606, requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and replaces most of the existing revenue recognition standards in U.S. GAAP. A five-step model is utilized to achieve the core principle: (1) identify the customer contract; (2) identify the contract’s performance obligation; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation; and (5) recognize revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied. The timing of recognizing revenue for typical net product sales to our customers did not significantly change. However, transaction prices are no longer required to be fixed or determinable and certain variable consideration might be recognized prior to the occurrence or resolution of the contingent event. As a result, certain revenue previously deferred under the prior standard because the transaction price was not fixed or determinable is now accounted for as variable consideration and might be recognized earlier provided such terms are sufficient to reliably estimate the ultimate price expected to be realized. Estimated future royalties and contingent fees related to certain arrangements are now recognized prior to the third party sale or event occurring to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of estimated cumulative revenue will not occur. The new guidance pertaining to the separation of licensing rights and related fee recognition did not significantly change the timing of recognizing revenue in our existing alliance arrangements that are currently generating revenue. The timing of royalties, sales-based milestones and other forms of contingent consideration resulting from the divestiture of businesses as well as royalties and sales-based milestones from licensing arrangements did not change. The cumulative effect of the accounting change resulted in recognizing contract assets of $214 million and a $168 million increase in Retained earnings net of tax. The cumulative effect was primarily attributed to royalties and licensing rights reacquired by alliance partners that are expected to be received in the future and are not eligible for the licensing exclusion. As a result of the new guidance and cumulative effect adjustment, revenue was approximately $53 million and $151 million lower in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, compared to what would have been reported under the previous guidance. Refer to "—Note 3 . Revenue " for further information. Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets Amended guidance for gains and losses from the derecognition of nonfinancial assets (ASC 610) was adopted in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The amendments clarify the scope of asset derecognition guidance, add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets and clarify recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. Certain transactions such as the sale or transfer of product rights that do not constitute a business will require accounting similar to ASC 606 including the potential recognition of variable consideration. The amended guidance may result in earlier recognition of variable consideration depending on the facts and circumstances of each transaction. The cumulative effect of the accounting change resulted in recognizing contract assets of $167 million and a $130 million increase in Retained earnings net of tax. The cumulative effect was primarily attributed to royalties and termination fees for licensing rights reacquired by third parties that are expected to be received in the future and are not eligible for the licensing exclusion. As a result of the new guidance and cumulative effect adjustment, Other income (net) was approximately $4 million and $16 million lower in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, compared to what would have been reported under the previous guidance. Presentation of Net Periodic Pension and Postretirement Benefits Amended guidance requiring all net periodic benefit components for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans other than service costs to be recorded outside of income from operations (other income) was adopted in the first quarter of 2018 on a retrospective basis. Cost of products sold; Marketing, selling and administrative; and Research and development expenses increased in the aggregate with a corresponding offset in Other income (net). As adjusted amounts upon adoption of the new guidance are as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Dollars in Millions As Previously Reported As Adjusted As Previously Reported As Adjusted Cost of products sold $ 1,572 $ 1,579 $ 4,393 $ 4,413 Marketing, selling and administrative 1,147 1,163 3,388 3,435 Research and development 1,543 1,561 4,490 4,543 Other income (net) (191 ) (232 ) (1,377 ) (1,497 ) Definition of a Business Amended guidance which revises the definition of a business was adopted prospectively in the first quarter of 2018. The amendment provides an initial screen that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired or disposed of is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, an integrated set of assets and activities would not represent a business. If the screen is not met, the set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contributes to the ability to create outputs for the set to represent a business. The amendment also narrows the definition of the term "output" and requires the transfer of an organized work force when outputs do not exist. The amended guidance may result in more transactions being accounted for as assets in the future with the impact to our results of operations dependent on the individual facts and circumstances of each transaction. Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities Amended guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments was adopted using the modified retrospective method in the first quarter of 2018. The new guidance requires that fair value adjustments for equity investments with readily determinable fair values be reported through earnings. The new guidance also requires a qualitative impairment assessment for equity investments without a readily determinable fair value based upon observable price changes and a charge through earnings if an impairment exists. The cumulative effect of the accounting change resulted in a $36 million reduction to Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) and a corresponding $34 million increase to Retained earnings, net of tax. Refer to "— Note 6 . Other Income (Net) for further information and the impact on the results of operations. Accounting for Hedging Activities Amended guidance for derivatives and hedging was adopted using the modified retrospective method in the first quarter of 2018. The amended guidance revises and expands items eligible for hedge accounting, simplifies hedge effectiveness testing and changes the timing of recognition and presentation for certain hedged items. Certain disclosure requirements were also modified for hedging activities on a prospective basis. The adoption of the amended standard did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income In February 2018, the FASB issued amended guidance on income tax accounting. The amended guidance permits the reclassification of the income tax effect on amounts recorded within Other comprehensive income impacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into Retained earnings. The amended guidance is effective for periods ending after December 15, 2018 and applies only to those amounts remaining in Other comprehensive income at the date of enactment of the Act. The amended guidance may be adopted on either a retrospective basis or at the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is assessing the potential impact of the amended standard. In addition, the following recently issued accounting standards have not been adopted. Refer to the 2017 Form 10-K for additional information and their potential impacts.
