Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements of McKesson Corporation (“McKesson,” the “Company,” or “we” and other similar pronouns) include the financial statements of all wholly-owned subsidiaries and majority‑owned or controlled companies. For those consolidated subsidiaries where our ownership is less than 100%, the portion of the net income or loss allocable to the noncontrolling interests is reported as “Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We consider ourselves to control an entity if we are the majority owner of and have voting control over such entity. We also assess control through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and determine which business entity is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. We consolidate VIEs when it is determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Investments in business entities in which we do not have control, but have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method and our proportionate share of income or loss is recorded in Other Income, Net. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investees. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, do not include all information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements. To prepare the financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of these financial statements and income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 previously filed with the SEC on May 5, 2016 (“2016 Annual Report”). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The Company’s fiscal year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31. Unless otherwise noted, all references to a particular year shall mean the Company’s fiscal year. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Share-Based Payments : In March 2016, amended guidance was issued for employee share-based payment awards. Under the amended guidance, all excess tax benefits (“windfalls”) and deficiencies (“shortfalls”) related to employee share-based compensation arrangements are recognized within income tax expense. Under the previous guidance, windfalls were recognized in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) and shortfalls were only recognized to the extent they exceeded the pool of windfall tax benefits. The amended guidance also requires excess tax benefits to be classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows, rather than a financing activity. The amended guidance is effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We elected to early adopt this amended guidance in the first quarter of 2017. The primary impact of the adoption was the recognition of excess tax benefits in the income statement on a prospective basis, rather than APIC. As a result, discrete tax benefits of $47 million were recognized in income tax expense in the first nine months of 2017. We also elected to adopt the cash flow presentation of the excess tax benefits prospectively commencing in the first quarter of 2017. None of the other provisions in this amended guidance had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Business Combinations: In the first quarter of 2017, we adopted amended guidance for an acquirer’s accounting for measurement-period adjustments. The amended guidance eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively and instead requires that measurement-period adjustments be recognized during the period in which it determines the adjustment. In addition, the amended guidance requires that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurement: In the first quarter of 2017, we adopted amended guidance that limits disclosures and removes the requirement to categorize investments within the fair value hierarchy if the fair value of the investment is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amended guidance will primarily affect our fiscal 2017 annual disclosures related to our pension benefits. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement : In the first quarter of 2017, we adopted amended guidance for a customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. The amended guidance requires customers to determine whether or not an arrangement contains a software license element. If the arrangement contains a software element, the related fees paid should be accounted for as an acquisition of a software license. If the arrangement does not contain a software license, it is accounted for as a service contract. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Debt Issuance Costs : In the first quarter of 2017, we adopted amended guidance for the balance sheet presentation of debt issuance costs on a retrospective basis. The amended guidance requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be reported on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amended guidance. In August 2015, a clarification was added to this amended guidance that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements can continue to be deferred and presented as an asset on the balance sheet. Upon adoption, unamortized debt issuance costs of $40 million were reclassified primarily from other noncurrent assets to long-term debt at March 31, 2016. Consolidation: In the first quarter of 2017, we adopted amended guidance for consolidating legal entities in which a reporting entity holds a variable interest. The amended guidance modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs and changes the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Business Combinations: In January 2017, amended guidance was issued to clarify the definition of a business to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The amended guidance provides a practical screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. If the screen is not met, the amended guidance requires that to be considered a business, a set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. The amended guidance is effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2019 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted in certain circumstances. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Restricted Cash: In November 2016, amended guidance was issued that requires restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents are not reported as cash flow activities in the statement of cash flows. The amended guidance is effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2019 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Consolidation: In October 2016, amended guidance was issued that requires a single decision maker of a VIE to consider indirect economic interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control on a proportionate basis when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. This amendment does not change the existing characteristics of a primary beneficiary. The amended guidance becomes effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2018 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Income Taxes - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory: In October 2016, amended guidance was issued to require entities to recognize income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amended guidance is effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments: In August 2016, amended guidance was issued to provide clarification on cash flow classification related to eight specific issues including contingent consideration payments made after a business combination and distributions received from equity method investees. The amended guidance is effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2019 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: In June 2016, amended guidance was issued, which will change the impairment model for most financial assets and require additional disclosures. The amended guidance requires financial assets that are measured at amortized cost, be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets. The amended guidance also requires us to consider historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount in estimating credit losses. The amended guidance becomes effective for us commencing in 2021 and will be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the beginning retained earnings in the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Investments: In March 2016, amended guidance was issued to simplify the transition to the equity method of accounting. This standard eliminates the requirement that when an existing cost method investment qualifies for use of the equity method, an investor must restate its historical financial statements, as if the equity method had been used during all previous periods. Additionally, at the point an investment qualifies for the equity method, any unrealized gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be recognized through earnings. The amended guidance is effective for us prospectively commencing in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Derivatives and Hedging: In March 2016, amended guidance was issued for derivative instrument novations. The amendments clarify that a novation, a change in the counterparty, to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationships provided all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The amended guidance is effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2018. The amended guidance allows for either prospective or modified retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Leases: In February 2016, amended guidance was issued for lease arrangements. The amended standard will require recognition on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months: a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The amended guidance is effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2020, on a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Financial Instruments: In January 2016, amended guidance was issued that requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income and enhanced disclosures about those investments. This guidance also simplifies the impairment assessments of equity investments without readily determinable fair value. The investments that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting or result in consolidation of the investee are excluded from the scope of this amended guidance. The amended guidance will become effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2019 and will be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment. Early adoption is not permitted except for certain provisions. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Inventory: In July 2015, amended guidance was issued for the subsequent measurement of inventory. The amended guidance requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The requirement would replace the current lower of cost or market evaluation. Accounting guidance is unchanged for inventory measured using last-in-first-out (“LIFO”) or the retail method. The amended guidance will become effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition: In May 2014, amended guidance was issued for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The amended guidance eliminates industry specific guidance and applies to all companies. Revenues will be recognized when an entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for that good or service. Revenue from a contract that contains multiple performance obligations is allocated to each performance obligation generally on a relative standalone selling price basis. The amended guidance also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. In March, April and May 2016, amended guidance was further issued including clarifying guidance on principal versus agent considerations, ability to choose an accounting policy election to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as an activity to fulfill the promise to transfer the good, and provided certain scope improvements and practical expedients. The amended standard is effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2019 and allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted but not prior to our first quarter of 2018. While we are still in the process of assessing the anticipated impact of the amended standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements, for our Distribution Solutions Segment, we generally anticipate having substantially similar performance obligations under the amended guidance as compared with deliverables and units of account currently being recognized. Additionally, we intend to make policy elections within the amended standard that are consistent with our current accounting. We anticipate adopting this standard on a modified retrospective basis in the first quarter of 2019. |

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] | |
Proposed Healthcare Technology Net Asset Exchange | Proposed Healthcare Technology Net Asset Exchange On June 28, 2016, McKesson entered into a contribution agreement as well as various other agreements (“Agreements”) with Change Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (“Change Healthcare”), a Delaware corporation, and others to form a joint venture (“New Company”). Under the terms of the Agreements, McKesson will contribute the majority of its McKesson Technology Solutions businesses (“Core MTS Business”) to the New Company. McKesson will retain its RelayHealth Pharmacy and Enterprise Information Solutions (“EIS”) businesses. Change Healthcare will contribute substantially all of its businesses to the New Company excluding its pharmacy switch and prescription routing businesses. The purpose of the transaction is to create a new healthcare information technology company, which will bring together the complementary strengths of the Core MTS Business and Change Healthcare to provide software and analytics, network solutions and technology-enabled services that will help customers obtain actionable insights, exchange mission-critical information, control costs, optimize revenue opportunities, increase cash flow and effectively navigate the shift to value-based healthcare. McKesson and Change Healthcare have agreed that they will take steps to launch an initial public offering of an entity holding equity in the New Company in the months following the close of the transaction, subject to market conditions. Thereafter, McKesson expects to exit its investment in the New Company in a transaction that is intended to qualify as a tax-free spin-off for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code. In connection with the transaction, the New Company has received $6.1 billion of committed financing, including a $1.2 billion bridge loan facility, from certain banks. The proceeds are expected to be utilized for the repayment of the existing debt of Change Healthcare, financing costs and payments to Change Healthcare shareholders and McKesson, including reimbursements of certain transaction-related expenses incurred by McKesson and Change Healthcare. On December 21, 2016, McKesson and Change Healthcare announced that it had received notification that the Department of Justice had closed its review and terminated the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. Subject to satisfaction of these other closing conditions, the acquisition is expected to close in the first half of calendar year 2017. Upon formation of the New Company, McKesson and Change Healthcare shareholders are expected to own approximately 70% and 30% of the New Company. The New Company will be jointly governed by McKesson and Change Healthcare shareholders. The Company refers to the foregoing transaction as “Healthcare Technology Net Asset Exchange”. On January 5, 2017, McKesson and Change Healthcare announced that the companies decided the name of the New Company will be Change Healthcare. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, we recorded $31 million and $58 million of expenses directly associated with this proposed transaction, which are primarily recorded in Operating Expenses within our Technology Solutions segment in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale During the second quarter of 2017, the assets and liabilities of the Core MTS Business to be contributed to the New Company met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The net asset exchange transaction does not meet the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation as it does not constitute a significant strategic business shift. Accordingly, at December 31, 2016, $1.9 billion of assets and $0.7 billion of liabilities related to the Core MTS Business are included in “Current assets held for sale” and “Current liabilities held for sale” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. Depreciation and amortization related to the long-lived assets ceased as of the date they were determined as held for sale. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of major classes of assets and liabilities held for sale: (In millions) December 31, 2016 Receivables, net $ 433 Other current assets 120 Goodwill 1,071 Intangible assets, net 92 Other noncurrent assets 176 Current assets held for sale $ 1,892 Deferred revenue $ 482 Other current liabilities 149 Other noncurrent liabilities 62 Current liabilities held for sale $ 693 |

In the second quarter of 2017, we recorded a provisional non-cash pre-tax charge of $290 million ( $282 million after-tax) to impair the carrying value of this business’ goodwill. We completed our analysis of the goodwill impairment assessment in the third quarter of 2017 and concluded that no further adjustment was needed. Most of the goodwill impairment is not deductible for income tax purposes. The impairment primarily resulted from a decline in estimated future cash flows. The goodwill impairment test requires us to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit's net assets, excluding goodwill but including any unrecognized intangible assets, to determine the implied fair value of goodwill. The impairment charge was then determined by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with its implied fair value of goodwill. At December 31, 2016, the remaining goodwill balance for this reporting unit was $124 million . Refer to Financial Note 15, “Fair Value Measurements,” for more information on this nonrecurring fair value measurement. |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations During the first nine months of 2017, we completed our acquisitions of Rexall Health, Vantage Oncology Holdings LLC (“Vantage”), Biologics, Inc. (“Biologics”), UDG Healthcare Plc (“UDG”) and J Sainsbury Plc (“Sainsbury”), as further discussed below. In the first quarter of 2017, we adopted the amended accounting guidance for an acquirer’s accounting for measurement period adjustments. Accordingly, as required, we now recognize all measurement period adjustments in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined. Rexall Health On December 28, 2016, we completed our acquisition of Rexall Health of the Katz Group Canada, Inc. for cash purchase consideration of $2.9 billion Canadian dollars (or, approximately $2.1 billion U.S. dollars), which was funded from cash on hand. Rexall Health operates approximately 470 retail pharmacies in Canada, particularly in Ontario and Western Canada. As part of the transaction, McKesson agreed to divest stores in 26 local markets that the Competition Bureau of Canada (the “Bureau”) identified during its review of the transaction. We do not anticipate any store closures as a result of these divestitures. The acquisition of Rexall Health will enhance our capability to continue to deliver a broad range of pharmaceutical care and choice to Canadian consumers. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2017, financial results for Rexall will be included in our North America pharmaceutical distribution and services business within our Distribution Solutions segment. Total assets acquired and liabilities assumed, excluding goodwill and intangibles, were $687 million and $199 million . Approximately $1.1 billion of the preliminary purchase price allocation has been assigned to goodwill, net of goodwill classified as held for sale, which primarily represents intangible assets that do not qualify as separate recognition. The amount of goodwill expected to be deductible for tax purposes is approximately $860 million . Included in the preliminary purchase price allocation are acquired identifiable intangibles of $656 million , net of intangibles classified as held for sale, primarily representing trade names and customer relationships. We are currently evaluating the expected lives of the identifiable intangibles. Additionally, we classified those stores that we agreed to divest under the agreement reached with the Bureau as held for sale as of the acquisition date. As a result, approximately $110 million of assets and $1 million of liabilities are included in “Current assets held for sale” and “Current liabilities held for sale” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. The following table summarizes the preliminary recording of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition as of the acquisition date. Due to the recent timing and complexity of the acquisition, these amounts are provisional and subject to change as our fair value assessments are finalized. (In millions) Amounts Recognized as of Acquisition Date (Provisional) Receivables $ 114 Inventory 271 Other current assets, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired 141 Goodwill 1,142 Intangible assets 656 Other long-term assets 161 Current liabilities (154 ) Other long-term liabilities (45 ) Fair value of net assets, less cash and cash equivalents 2,286 Less: Settlement of pre-existing payables 165 Purchase consideration paid in cash, net of cash acquired $ 2,121 Vantage & Biologics On April 1, 2016, we acquired Vantage, which is headquartered in Manhattan Beach, California. Vantage provides comprehensive oncology management services, including radiation oncology, medical oncology, and other integrated cancer care services, through over 51 cancer treatment facilities in 13 states. The net purchase consideration of $515 million was funded from cash on hand. On April 1, 2016, we also acquired Biologics for net purchase consideration of $692 million , which was funded from cash on hand. Biologics is one of the largest independent oncology-focused specialty pharmacy in the U.S., and is headquartered in Cary, North Carolina. Financial results for these acquisitions since the acquisition date are included in our results of operations within our North America pharmaceutical distribution and services business, which is part of our Distribution Solutions segment. These acquisitions collectively enhance our specialty pharmaceutical distribution scale and oncology-focused pharmacy offerings, provide solutions for manufacturers and payers, and expand the scope of our community-based oncology and practice management services. The following table summarizes the preliminary recording of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for these two acquisitions as of the acquisition date: (In millions) Amounts Previously Recognized as of Acquisition Date (Provisional) (1) Measurement Period Adjustments Amounts Recognized as of Acquisition Date (Provisional as Adjusted) Receivables $ 106 $ (7 ) $ 99 Other current assets, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired 19 — 19 Goodwill 1,219 (131 ) 1,088 Intangible assets 136 72 208 Other long-term assets 76 37 113 Current liabilities (117 ) (2 ) (119 ) Other long-term liabilities (80 ) (28 ) (108 ) Fair value of net assets, less cash and cash equivalents 1,359 (59 ) 1,300 Less: Noncontrolling Interests (152 ) 59 (93 ) Fair value of net assets acquired, net of cash and cash equivalents $ 1,207 $ — $ 1,207 (1) As reported on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. During the first nine months of 2017, we recorded certain measurement period adjustments to the provisional fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The amounts as of the acquisition date are provisional and subject to change within the measurement period as our fair value assessments are finalized. At December 31, 2016, approximately $516 million and $572 million of the adjusted preliminary purchase price allocations for Vantage and Biologics have been assigned to goodwill, which primarily reflects the expected future benefits of synergies upon integrating the businesses. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and the fair value of noncontrolling interests over the fair value of the acquired net assets. Most of the goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Included in the adjusted preliminary purchase price allocation are acquired identifiable intangibles of $15 million and $193 million for Vantage and Biologics. Acquired intangibles for Vantage primarily consist of $7 million of non-competition agreements with a weighted average life of 4 years , and for Biologics primarily consist of $170 million of trade names with a weighted average life of 9 years . The adjusted preliminary fair value of Vantage’s noncontrolling interests as of the acquisition date was approximately $93 million , which represents the portion of net assets of Vantage’s consolidated entities that is not allocable to McKesson. UDG On April 1, 2016, we completed our acquisition of the pharmaceutical distribution businesses of UDG based in Ireland and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) with a net purchase consideration of €380 million (or, approximately $431 million ), which was funded with cash on hand. The acquired UDG businesses primarily provide pharmaceutical and other healthcare products to retail and hospital pharmacies. The acquisition of UDG expands our offerings and strengthens our market position in Ireland and the U.K. Financial results for UDG since the acquisition date are included in our results of operations within our International pharmaceutical distribution and services business, which is part of our Distribution Solutions segment. During the first nine months of 2017, we recorded certain measurement period adjustments to the provisional fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The net effect of the cumulative period adjustments was an increase in goodwill of approximately $16 million from the provisional amounts as previously reported at June 30, 2016. Goodwill reflects the expected future benefits of synergies upon integrating the businesses. Most of the goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. At December 31, 2016, the adjusted preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, excluding goodwill and intangibles, were $467 million and $332 million . Included in the adjusted preliminary purchase price allocation are acquired identifiable intangibles of $115 million primarily comprised of customer relationships with a weighted average life of 10 years . The amounts as of the acquisition date are provisional and subject to change within the measurement period as our fair value assessments are finalized. Sainsbury On August 31, 2016, we completed our acquisition of the pharmacy business of Sainsbury based in the U.K. with a net purchase consideration of £128 million (or, approximately $168 million ). This acquisition further enhances our retail pharmacy service capabilities in the U.K. Financial results for Sainsbury since the acquisition date are included in our results of operations within our International pharmaceutical distribution and services business, which is part of our Distribution Solutions segment. Under the terms of the agreement, on February 29, 2016, we made an advance cash payment of £125 million (or, approximately $174 million ) representing the full purchase consideration, subject to net working capital adjustment, which was included in “Other Noncurrent Assets” within our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016. The advance payment bore interest at an annual rate of 3.3% , compounded daily, from February 29, 2016 until the acquisition date. Upon the completion of the acquisition, we received an interest payment. Total provisional fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, excluding goodwill and intangibles, was $29 million and $18 million as of the acquisition date. Approximately $92 million of the adjusted preliminary purchase price allocations has been assigned to goodwill, which primarily reflects the expected future benefits of synergies upon integrating the businesses. Included in the preliminary purchase price allocation are acquired identifiable intangibles of $65 million primarily representing restrictive pharmacy licenses with a weighted average life of 15 years. The amounts as of the acquisition date are provisional and subject to change within the measurement period as our fair value assessments are finalized. The fair value of acquired intangibles was primarily determined by applying the income approach, using several significant unobservable inputs for projected cash flows and a discount rate. These inputs are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. Other Acquisitions During the last two years, we also completed a number of other acquisitions within both of our operating segments. Financial results for our business acquisitions have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements since their respective acquisition dates. Purchase prices for our business acquisitions have been allocated based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill recognized for our business acquisitions is generally not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. However, if we acquire the assets of a company, the goodwill may be deductible for tax purposes. |

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] | |
Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations During the fourth quarter of 2015, we committed to a plan to sell our Brazilian pharmaceutical distribution business, which we acquired through our February 2014 acquisition of Celesio, from our Distribution Solutions segment. Accordingly, the results of operations and cash flows of this business are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements. On January 31, 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell our Brazilian pharmaceutical distribution business to a third party. On May 31, 2016, we completed the sale of this business and recognized an after-tax loss of $113 million within discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2017 primarily for the settlement of certain indemnification matters as well as the release of the cumulative translation losses. We made a payment of approximately $100 million related to the sale of this business. The results of discontinued operations during the third quarters and first nine months of 2017 and 2016 were not material except for the loss recognized upon the disposition of our Brazilian business. As of March 31, 2016, the carrying amounts of total assets and liabilities for this business were $635 million and $660 million , included under the captions “Current assets held for sale” and “Current liabilities held for sale” within our condensed consolidated balance sheets. |

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] | |
Restructuring | Restructuring On March 14, 2016, we committed to a restructuring plan to lower our operating costs (the “Cost Alignment Plan”). The Cost Alignment Plan primarily consists of a reduction in workforce, and business process initiatives that will be substantially implemented prior to the end of 2019. Business process initiatives primarily include plans to reduce operating costs of our distribution and pharmacy operations, administrative support functions, and technology platforms, as well as the disposal and abandonment of certain non-core businesses. As a result, we recorded $229 million of pre-tax charges during the fourth quarter of 2016. The restructuring liabilities were $222 million at March 31, 2016. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, we recorded pre-tax charges of $5 million and $4 million as part of the Cost Alignment Plan, and we made $18 million and $89 million of cash payments, primarily related to severance. At December 31, 2016, the restructuring liabilities of $112 million include $71 million recorded in other accrued liabilities and $41 million recorded in other noncurrent liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Under the Cost Alignment Plan, we expect to record total pre-tax charges of approximately $250 million to $270 million , of which $233 million of pre-tax charges have been recorded to date. Estimated remaining charges primarily consist of exit-related costs and accelerated depreciation and amortization, which are largely attributed to our Distribution Solutions segment. |

Divestiture of Business | Divestiture of Businesses During the second quarter of 2016, we sold our ZEE Medical business within our Distribution Solutions segment for a total purchase price of $134 million . We recorded a pre-tax gain from this sale of $52 million ( $29 million after-tax) during the first nine months of 2016. During the first quarter of 2016, we sold our nurse triage business within our Technology Solutions segment for net sale proceeds of $84 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of $51 million ( $38 million after-tax) from the sale. These divestitures did not meet the criteria to qualify as a discontinued operation under the amended guidance, which became effective for us in the first quarter of 2016. Accordingly, pre-tax gains from both divestitures were recorded in operating expenses within continuing operations of our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Other than the gain on disposal, pre and after-tax income for these businesses were not material for the third quarters and first nine months of 2017 and 2016. |

Income Taxes | Income Taxes During the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, income tax expense related to continuing operations was $131 million and $204 million and included net discrete tax benefits of $12 million and $16 million . During the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, income tax expense related to continuing operations was $570 million and $704 million and included net discrete tax benefits of $69 million and $45 million . Our discrete tax benefits for the first nine months of 2017 includes a tax benefit of $47 million related to the adoption of the amended accounting guidance on employee share-based compensation. The non-cash pre-tax charge of $290 million to impair the carrying value of goodwill related to our EIS business within our Technology Solutions segment, described in Financial Note 3, "Goodwill Impairment," has an unfavorable impact on our effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2017. Approximately $269 million of the total goodwill impairment charge was not deductible. The income tax provision for the first nine months of 2017 includes a tax benefit of $8 million related to this impairment charge. During the third quarter of 2016, we recognized $19 million discrete tax benefit due to a reduction in our deferred tax liabilities as a result of enacted tax law changes in certain foreign jurisdictions. Our discrete tax benefits for the first nine months of 2016 includes a tax benefit of $25 million associated with the U.S. Tax Court’s decision in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner related to the treatment of share-based compensation expense in an intercompany cost-sharing agreement. Our reported income tax rates for the third quarters of 2017 and 2016 were 16.8% and 24.1% and for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016 were 25.7% and 27.3% . The fluctuations in our reported income tax rates are primarily due to changes within our business mix, including varying proportions of income attributable to foreign countries that have lower income tax rates, discrete items, and the impact of the intercompany sale of software. As of December 31, 2016 , we had $437 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $296 million would reduce income tax expense and the effective tax rate, if recognized. Based on the information currently available, we do not anticipate a significant increase or decrease to our unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months. However, this may change as we continue to have ongoing negotiations with various taxing authorities throughout the year. We report interest and penalties on tax deficiencies as income tax expense. We recognized income tax expense of $3 million during the third quarters of 2017 and 2016; and income tax benefit of $9 million and income tax expense of $9 million during the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, before any tax benefit, related to interest and penalties in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, before any tax benefits, our accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits amounted to $43 million and $78 million . We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions and various foreign jurisdictions. During the first quarter of 2017, we reached an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to settle all outstanding issues relating to the fiscal years 2007 through 2009. This settlement did not have a material impact on our provision for income taxes. We are subject to audit by the IRS for fiscal years 2010 through the current fiscal year. We are generally subject to audit by taxing authorities in various U.S. states and in foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years 2006 through the current fiscal year. |

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract] | |
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests | Noncontrolling Interests Under a domination and profit and loss transfer agreement (the “Domination Agreement”) entered into between McKesson and Celesio AG (“Celesio”) in 2014, McKesson is obligated to pay an annual recurring compensation amount of €0.83 per Celesio share (“Compensation Amount”) to the noncontrolling shareholders of Celesio. Additionally, the noncontrolling interests in Celesio are redeemable at the option of the holder as a result of a right to put their Celesio shares at €22.99 per share (“Put Right”) under the Domination Agreement. Accordingly, the noncontrolling interests in Celesio are presented as “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Put Right amount is increased annually for interest in the amount of five percentage points above a base rate published by the German Bundesbank semiannually, less any Compensation Amount or the guaranteed dividend already paid in respect of the relevant time period (“Put Amount”). The Domination Agreement became effective when it was registered in the commercial register of Celesio at the local court of Stuttgart on December 2, 2014. Subsequent to the Domination Agreement’s registration, certain noncontrolling shareholders of Celesio initiated appraisal proceedings (“Appraisal Proceedings”) with the Stuttgart Regional Court to challenge the Compensation Amount, the guaranteed dividend and/or the Put Amount. If any such Appraisal Proceedings result in an adjustment to the Compensation Amount, the guaranteed dividend and/or the Put Amount, Celesio Holdings Deutschland GmbH & Co. KGaA (formerly known as McKesson Deutschland GmbH & Co. KGaA or Dragonfly GmbH & Co. KGaA) would be required to make certain additional payments for any shortfall to all Celesio noncontrolling shareholders who previously received the guaranteed dividend, Compensation Amount and/or the Put Amount. The balance of redeemable noncontrolling interests is reported at the greater of its carrying value or its maximum redemption value at each reporting date. The redemption value is the Put Amount adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations each period. There were no material exercises of the Put Right during the third quarter and first nine months of 2017. At December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interests of $1.31 billion and $1.41 billion exceeded the maximum redemption value of $1.19 billion and $1.28 billion . At December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, we owned approximately 76.0% of Celesio’s outstanding common shares. Changes in redeemable noncontrolling interests were as follows: (In millions) Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests Balance, March 31, 2016 $ 1,406 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests 33 Other comprehensive loss (95 ) Reclassification of recurring compensation to other accrued liabilities (33 ) Balance, December 31, 2016 $ 1,311 There were no material changes in our ownership interests of noncontrolling interests during the first nine months of 2017 and 2016. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Common Share | Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share are computed similar to basic earnings per common share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The computations for basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows: Quarter Ended December 31, Nine Months Ended December 31, (In millions, except per share amounts) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Income from continuing operations $ 649 $ 642 $ 1,647 $ 1,877 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (13 ) (13 ) (48 ) (39 ) Income from continuing operations attributable to McKesson 636 629 1,599 1,838 Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax (3 ) 5 (117 ) (11 ) Net income attributable to McKesson $ 633 $ 634 $ 1,482 $ 1,827 Weighted average common shares outstanding: Basic 221 230 224 231 Effect of dilutive securities: Options to purchase common stock — 1 1 1 Restricted stock units 1 1 1 2 Diluted 222 232 226 234 Earnings (loss) per common share attributable to McKesson: (1) Diluted Continuing operations $ 2.86 $ 2.71 $ 7.07 $ 7.86 Discontinued operations (0.01 ) 0.02 (0.51 ) (0.05 ) Total $ 2.85 $ 2.73 $ 6.56 $ 7.81 Basic Continuing operations $ 2.89 $ 2.74 $ 7.14 $ 7.95 Discontinued operations (0.02 ) 0.02 (0.52 ) (0.04 ) Total $ 2.87 $ 2.76 $ 6.62 $ 7.91 (1) Certain computations may reflect rounding adjustments. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based and other restricted stock units. Approximately 2 million and 1 million potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computations of diluted net earnings per common share for each of the quarters ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and 2 million and 1 million potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computations of diluted net earnings per common share for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, as they were anti-dilutive. |

At December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, $7,717 million and $8,107 million of total long-term debt was outstanding, of which $1,748 million and $1,610 million were included under the caption “Current portion of long-term debt” within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. On October 18, 2016, we repaid our €350 million Euro-denominated bond (or, approximately $385 million ) at its maturity. During the third quarter of 2016, we repaid our $500 million 0.95% notes due December 4, 2015 at maturity. During the second quarter of 2016, we repaid $400 million of floating rate notes at maturity. During the first quarter of 2016, we repaid a term loan for $93 million . Revolving Credit Facilities We have a syndicated $3.5 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Global Facility”), which has a $3.15 billion aggregate sublimit of availability in Canadian dollars, British pound sterling and Euros. The Global facility matures on October 22, 2020. Borrowings under the Global Facility bear interest based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate, Canadian Dealer Offered Rate, a prime rate, or alternative overnight rates as applicable, and agreed margins. The Global Facility contains a financial covenant which obligates the Company to maintain a debt to capital ratio of no greater than 65% and other customary investment grade covenants. If we do not comply with these covenants, our ability to use the Global Facility may be suspended and repayment of any outstanding balances under the Global Facility may be required. At December 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility during the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, and as of December 31, 2016. We also maintain bilateral credit lines primarily denominated in Euros with a total committed and uncommitted balance of $238 million . Borrowings and repayments were not material during the first nine months of 2017. During the first nine months of 2016, we borrowed $631 million and repaid $633 million under these credit lines primarily related to short-term borrowings. These credit lines have interest rates ranging from 0.18% to 6% plus the relevant floating reference rate. As of December 31, 2016, there was no amount outstanding under bilateral credit lines. Accounts Receivable Facilities We previously maintained accounts receivable factoring facilities (the “Factoring Facilities”) denominated in foreign currencies.

Cash contributions to these plans were $6 million and $16 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 and $8 million and $52 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016. The projected unit credit method is utilized in measuring net periodic pension expense over the employees’ service life for the pension plans. Unrecognized actuarial losses exceeding 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market value of assets are amortized straight-line over the average remaining future service periods and expected life expectancy. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Hedging Activities | Hedging Activities In the normal course of business, we are exposed to interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. At times, we limit these risks through the use of derivatives such as interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. In accordance with our policy, derivatives are only used for hedging purposes. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Foreign currency exchange risk We conduct our business worldwide in U.S. dollars and the functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries, including Euro, British pound sterling and Canadian dollar. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates could have a material adverse impact on our financial results that are reported in U.S. dollars. We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our foreign subsidiaries, including intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies. We have certain foreign currency exchange rate risk programs that use foreign currency forward contracts and cross currency swaps. These forward contracts and cross currency swaps are generally used to offset the potential income statement effects from intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies. These programs reduce but do not entirely eliminate foreign exchange rate risk. Derivatives Designated as Hedges At December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, we had forward contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar against cash flows denominated in Canadian dollars with total gross notional values of $323 million , which were designated as cash flow hedges. These contracts will mature between March 2017 and March 2020 . From time to time, we enter into cross currency swaps to convert fixed-rate foreign currency denominated borrowings to fixed-rate U.S. dollar borrowings. For our cross currency swap transactions, we agree with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, one currency for another currency at a fixed exchange rate, generally set at inception, calculated by reference to agreed upon notional amounts. These cross currency swaps are designed to reduce the income statement effects from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and have been designated as cash flow hedges. At December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, we had cross currency swaps with total gross notional amounts of approximately $1,839 million and $546 million , which are designated as cash flow hedges. These swaps will mature between February 2018 and December 2022. For forward contracts and currency swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair values of hedges is recorded into accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in fair values representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings. Gains or losses on these hedges recorded in other comprehensive income and earnings were not material during the third quarters and first nine months of 2017 and 2016. Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges At December 31, 2016, we had a number of forward contracts to primarily hedge the U.S. dollar against cash flows denominated in Canadian dollars with total gross notional value of $882 million . These contracts will mature through January 2017 and none of these contracts were designated for hedge accounting. Gains or losses from these contracts were not material for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017. We also have a number of forward contracts to primarily hedge the Euro against cash flows denominated in British pound sterling and other European currencies. At December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the total gross notional amounts of these contracts were $99 million and $876 million . These contracts will mature through May 2017 and none of these contracts were designated for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair values of contracts not designated as hedges are recorded directly into earnings and accordingly, net losses of $1 million and net gains of $4 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 and net losses of $24 million and $2 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 were recorded within operating expenses. The gains or losses from these contracts are largely offset by changes in the value of the underlying intercompany foreign currency loans. Information regarding the fair value of derivatives on a gross basis is as follows: Balance Sheet Caption December 31, 2016 March 31, 2016 Fair Value of Derivative U.S. Dollar Notional Fair Value of Derivative U.S. Dollar Notional (In millions) Asset Liability Asset Liability Derivatives designated for hedge accounting Foreign exchange contracts (current) Prepaid expenses and other $ 18 $ — $ 80 $ 16 $ — $ 80 Foreign exchange contracts (non-current) Other Noncurrent Assets 51 — 243 46 — 243 Cross currency swaps (non-current) Other Noncurrent Assets/Liabilities 130 — 1,839 — 8 546 Total $ 199 $ — $ 62 $ 8 Derivatives not designated for hedge accounting Foreign exchange contracts (current) Prepaid expenses and other $ 5 $ — $ 943 $ 23 $ — $ 680 Foreign exchange contracts (current) Other accrued liabilities — — 38 — — 196 Total $ 5 $ — $ 23 $ — Refer to Financial Note 15, "Fair Value Measurements," for more information on these recurring fair value measurements. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements At December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016 , the carrying amounts of cash, certain cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities, receivables, drafts and accounts payable, short-term borrowings and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of our commercial paper was determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities, which are considered to be Level 1 inputs. Our long-term debt is carried at amortized cost. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of these liabilities were $7.7 billion and $8.0 billion at December 31, 2016 and $8.1 billion and $8.6 billion at March 31, 2016 . The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was determined using quoted market prices in a less active market and other observable inputs from available market information, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future. Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016 were investments in money market funds of $0.6 billion and $2.4 billion , which are reported at fair value. The fair value of the money market funds was determined by using quoted prices for identical investments in active markets, which are considered to be Level 1 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. The carrying value of all other cash equivalents approximates their fair value due to their relatively short-term nature. Fair values of our forward foreign currency derivatives were determined using quoted market prices of similar instruments in an active market and other observable inputs from available market information. Fair values of our foreign currency swaps were determined using the quoted foreign currency exchange rates and other observable inputs from available market information. These inputs are considered Level 2 under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future. Refer to Financial Note 14, "Hedging Activities," for more information on our forward foreign currency derivatives including foreign currency forward contracts and swaps. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the third quarters and first nine months of 2017 and 2016 . Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis We measure certain long-lived assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, we evaluate, among other factors, our intent to hold the investment, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost and the financial outlook for the industry and location. An impairment charge is recorded when the cost of the asset exceeds its fair value and this condition is determined to be other-than-temporary. At December 31, 2016, assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis consisted of goodwill for a reporting unit within our Technology Solutions segment, as further discussed below. There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2016. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2016. Goodwill As discussed in Financial Note 3, "Goodwill Impairment," during the first nine months of 2017, we recorded a non-cash pre-tax charge of $290 million ( $282 million after-tax) to impair the carrying value of goodwill related to our EIS business, which is a reporting unit within our Technology Solutions segment. The impairment primarily resulted from a decline in estimated cash flows. The goodwill impairment test requires us to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit's net assets, excluding goodwill but including any unrecognized intangible assets, to determine the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill for the reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for that excess. Fair value assessment of the reporting unit and the reporting unit's net assets are considered a Level 3 measurement due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using company specific information. We considered the market approach as well as income approach using a discount cash flow (“DCF”) model to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The DCF method was used to determine the fair value of intangible assets. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities | Commitments and Contingent Liabilities In addition to commitments and obligations in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various claims, including claims with customers and vendors, pending and potential legal actions for damages, investigations relating to governmental laws and regulations and other matters arising out of the normal conduct of our business. As described below, many of these proceedings are at preliminary stages and many seek an indeterminate amount of damages. When a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable, we record a liability in the amount of our best estimate for the ultimate loss. However, the likelihood of a loss with respect to a particular contingency is often difficult to predict and determining a meaningful estimate of the loss or a range of loss may not be practicable based on the information available and the potential effect of future events and decisions by third parties that will determine the ultimate resolution of the contingency. Moreover, it is not uncommon for such matters to be resolved over many years, during which time relevant developments and new information must be reevaluated at least quarterly to determine both the likelihood of potential loss and whether it is possible to reasonably estimate a range of possible loss. When a loss is probable but a reasonable estimate cannot be made, disclosure of the proceeding is provided. Disclosure also is provided when it is reasonably possible that a loss will be incurred or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the recorded provision. We review all contingencies at least quarterly to determine whether the likelihood of loss has changed and to assess whether a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss can be made. As discussed above, development of a meaningful estimate of loss or a range of potential loss is complex when the outcome is directly dependent on negotiations with or decisions by third parties, such as regulatory agencies, the court system and other interested parties. Such factors bear directly on whether it is possible to reasonably estimate a range of potential loss and boundaries of high and low estimates. Significant developments in previously reported proceedings and in other litigation and claims, since the filing of our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2016 are set out below. Unless otherwise stated, we are currently unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses for the unresolved proceedings described below. Should any one or a combination of more than one of these proceedings be successful, or should we determine to settle any or a combination of these matters, we may be required to pay substantial sums, become subject to the entry of an injunction or be forced to change the manner in which we operate our business, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations. Litigation, Government Subpoenas and Investigations As previously disclosed, in the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company reached an agreement in principle with the Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and various U.S. Attorneys’ offices to settle all potential administrative and civil claims relating to investigations about the Company’s suspicious order reporting practices for controlled substances. In January 2017, the final settlement agreements were executed. As part of the settlement, the Company has paid $150 million in January 2017, which was previously accrued in 2015. As previously disclosed, on February 23, 2016, the Company removed the action captioned State of West Virginia ex rel. Morrisey v. McKesson Corporation , Civil Action No.: 16-C-1, to the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia (Civil Action No.: 2:16-cv-01772). On March 21, 2016, the Company filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings. On March 24, 2016, the State of West Virginia filed a motion to remand the matter to state court. On January 24, 2017, the court remanded the matter to state court. The court did not rule on the pending motion for judgment on the pleadings. From time to time, the Company receives subpoenas or requests for information from various government agencies. The Company generally responds to such subpoenas and requests in a cooperative, thorough and timely manner. These responses sometimes require time and effort and can result in considerable costs being incurred by the Company. Such subpoenas and requests also can lead to the assertion of claims or the commencement of civil or criminal legal proceedings against the Company and other members of the health care industry, as well as to settlements. Examples of such subpoenas and investigations are included in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and previously filed Form 10-Qs. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Stockholders' Equity | Stockholders’ Equity Each share of the Company’s outstanding common stock is permitted one vote on proposals presented to stockholders and is entitled to share equally in any dividends declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In July 2015, the Company’s quarterly dividend was raised from $0.24 to $0.28 per common share for dividends declared after such date, until further action by the Board. The Company anticipates that it will continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future. However, the payment and amount of future dividends remain within the discretion of the Board and will depend upon the Company's future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors. Share Repurchase Plans In October 2015, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $2 billion of the Company’s common stock. During the third quarter of 2016, we bought 1.9 million shares at an average price per share of $186.99 . During 2016, our share repurchases were completed through open market transactions. During the third quarter of 2016, we retired 115.5 million or $7.8 billion of the Company’s treasury shares previously repurchased. Under the applicable state law, these shares resume the status of authorized and unissued shares upon retirement. In accordance with our accounting policy, we allocate any excess of share repurchase price over par value between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings. Accordingly, our retained earnings and additional paid-in capital were reduced by $6.3 billion and $1.5 billion during the third quarter of 2016. In October 2016, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $4 billion of the Company’s common stock. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, we repurchased 14 million shares for $2 billion through open market transactions at an average price per share of $140.96 . The total authorization outstanding for repurchases of the Company’s common stock was $3.0 billion at December 31, 2016.

The factors for determining the reportable segments included the manner in which management evaluates the performance of the Company combined with the nature of the individual business activities. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments on a number of measures, including operating profit before interest expense, income taxes and results from discontinued operations. Financial information relating to our reportable operating segments and reconciliations to the condensed consolidated totals is as follows: Quarter Ended December 31, Nine Months Ended December 31, (In millions) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Revenues Distribution Solutions (1) North America pharmaceutical distribution and services $ 41,685 $ 39,615 $ 124,271 $ 119,750 International pharmaceutical distribution and services 6,193 6,022 18,794 17,726 Medical-Surgical distribution and services 1,558 1,568 4,657 4,579 Total Distribution Solutions 49,436 47,205 147,722 142,055 Technology Solutions - products and services 694 694 2,098 2,151 Total Revenues $ 50,130 $ 47,899 $ 149,820 $ 144,206 Operating profit Distribution Solutions (2) (3) $ 813 $ 906 $ 2,592 $ 2,742 Technology Solutions (4) (5) 132 122 126 426 Total 945 1,028 2,718 3,168 Corporate Expenses, Net (91 ) (95 ) (270 ) (320 ) Interest Expense (74 ) (87 ) (231 ) (267 ) Income from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes $ 780 $ 846 $ 2,217 $ 2,581 (1) Revenues derived from services represent less than 2% of this segment’s total revenues.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements of McKesson Corporation (“McKesson,” the “Company,” or “we” and other similar pronouns) include the financial statements of all wholly-owned subsidiaries and majority‑owned or controlled companies. For those consolidated subsidiaries where our ownership is less than 100%, the portion of the net income or loss allocable to the noncontrolling interests is reported as “Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We consider ourselves to control an entity if we are the majority owner of and have voting control over such entity. We also assess control through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and determine which business entity is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. We consolidate VIEs when it is determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Investments in business entities in which we do not have control, but have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method and our proportionate share of income or loss is recorded in Other Income, Net. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investees. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, do not include all information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements. |
Use of Estimates | To prepare the financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of these financial statements and income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 previously filed with the SEC on May 5, 2016 (“2016 Annual Report”). |
Reclassification | Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. |
Fiscal Period | The Company’s fiscal year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31. Unless otherwise noted, all references to a particular year shall mean the Company’s fiscal year. |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Share-Based Payments : In March 2016, amended guidance was issued for employee share-based payment awards. Under the amended guidance, all excess tax benefits (“windfalls”) and deficiencies (“shortfalls”) related to employee share-based compensation arrangements are recognized within income tax expense. Under the previous guidance, windfalls were recognized in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) and shortfalls were only recognized to the extent they exceeded the pool of windfall tax benefits. The amended guidance also requires excess tax benefits to be classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows, rather than a financing activity. The amended guidance is effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We elected to early adopt this amended guidance in the first quarter of 2017. The primary impact of the adoption was the recognition of excess tax benefits in the income statement on a prospective basis, rather than APIC. As a result, discrete tax benefits of $47 million were recognized in income tax expense in the first nine months of 2017. We also elected to adopt the cash flow presentation of the excess tax benefits prospectively commencing in the first quarter of 2017. None of the other provisions in this amended guidance had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Business Combinations: In the first quarter of 2017, we adopted amended guidance for an acquirer’s accounting for measurement-period adjustments. The amended guidance eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively and instead requires that measurement-period adjustments be recognized during the period in which it determines the adjustment. In addition, the amended guidance requires that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurement: In the first quarter of 2017, we adopted amended guidance that limits disclosures and removes the requirement to categorize investments within the fair value hierarchy if the fair value of the investment is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amended guidance will primarily affect our fiscal 2017 annual disclosures related to our pension benefits. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement : In the first quarter of 2017, we adopted amended guidance for a customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. The amended guidance requires customers to determine whether or not an arrangement contains a software license element. If the arrangement contains a software element, the related fees paid should be accounted for as an acquisition of a software license. If the arrangement does not contain a software license, it is accounted for as a service contract. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Debt Issuance Costs : In the first quarter of 2017, we adopted amended guidance for the balance sheet presentation of debt issuance costs on a retrospective basis. The amended guidance requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be reported on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amended guidance. In August 2015, a clarification was added to this amended guidance that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements can continue to be deferred and presented as an asset on the balance sheet. Upon adoption, unamortized debt issuance costs of $40 million were reclassified primarily from other noncurrent assets to long-term debt at March 31, 2016. Consolidation: In the first quarter of 2017, we adopted amended guidance for consolidating legal entities in which a reporting entity holds a variable interest. The amended guidance modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs and changes the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Business Combinations: In January 2017, amended guidance was issued to clarify the definition of a business to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The amended guidance provides a practical screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. If the screen is not met, the amended guidance requires that to be considered a business, a set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. The amended guidance is effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2019 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted in certain circumstances. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Restricted Cash: In November 2016, amended guidance was issued that requires restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents are not reported as cash flow activities in the statement of cash flows. The amended guidance is effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2019 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Consolidation: In October 2016, amended guidance was issued that requires a single decision maker of a VIE to consider indirect economic interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control on a proportionate basis when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. This amendment does not change the existing characteristics of a primary beneficiary. The amended guidance becomes effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2018 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Income Taxes - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory: In October 2016, amended guidance was issued to require entities to recognize income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amended guidance is effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments: In August 2016, amended guidance was issued to provide clarification on cash flow classification related to eight specific issues including contingent consideration payments made after a business combination and distributions received from equity method investees. The amended guidance is effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2019 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: In June 2016, amended guidance was issued, which will change the impairment model for most financial assets and require additional disclosures. The amended guidance requires financial assets that are measured at amortized cost, be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets. The amended guidance also requires us to consider historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount in estimating credit losses. The amended guidance becomes effective for us commencing in 2021 and will be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the beginning retained earnings in the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Investments: In March 2016, amended guidance was issued to simplify the transition to the equity method of accounting. This standard eliminates the requirement that when an existing cost method investment qualifies for use of the equity method, an investor must restate its historical financial statements, as if the equity method had been used during all previous periods. Additionally, at the point an investment qualifies for the equity method, any unrealized gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be recognized through earnings. The amended guidance is effective for us prospectively commencing in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Derivatives and Hedging: In March 2016, amended guidance was issued for derivative instrument novations. The amendments clarify that a novation, a change in the counterparty, to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationships provided all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The amended guidance is effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2018. The amended guidance allows for either prospective or modified retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Leases: In February 2016, amended guidance was issued for lease arrangements. The amended standard will require recognition on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months: a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The amended guidance is effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2020, on a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Financial Instruments: In January 2016, amended guidance was issued that requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income and enhanced disclosures about those investments. This guidance also simplifies the impairment assessments of equity investments without readily determinable fair value. The investments that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting or result in consolidation of the investee are excluded from the scope of this amended guidance. The amended guidance will become effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2019 and will be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment. Early adoption is not permitted except for certain provisions. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Inventory: In July 2015, amended guidance was issued for the subsequent measurement of inventory. The amended guidance requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The requirement would replace the current lower of cost or market evaluation. Accounting guidance is unchanged for inventory measured using last-in-first-out (“LIFO”) or the retail method. The amended guidance will become effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition: In May 2014, amended guidance was issued for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The amended guidance eliminates industry specific guidance and applies to all companies. Revenues will be recognized when an entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for that good or service. Revenue from a contract that contains multiple performance obligations is allocated to each performance obligation generally on a relative standalone selling price basis. The amended guidance also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. In March, April and May 2016, amended guidance was further issued including clarifying guidance on principal versus agent considerations, ability to choose an accounting policy election to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as an activity to fulfill the promise to transfer the good, and provided certain scope improvements and practical expedients. The amended standard is effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2019 and allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted but not prior to our first quarter of 2018. While we are still in the process of assessing the anticipated impact of the amended standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements, for our Distribution Solutions Segment, we generally anticipate having substantially similar performance obligations under the amended guidance as compared with deliverables and units of account currently being recognized. Additionally, we intend to make policy elections within the amended standard that are consistent with our current accounting. We anticipate adopting this standard on a modified retrospective basis in the first quarter of 2019. |
Commitments and Contingencies | When a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable, we record a liability in the amount of our best estimate for the ultimate loss. However, the likelihood of a loss with respect to a particular contingency is often difficult to predict and determining a meaningful estimate of the loss or a range of loss may not be practicable based on the information available and the potential effect of future events and decisions by third parties that will determine the ultimate resolution of the contingency. Moreover, it is not uncommon for such matters to be resolved over many years, during which time relevant developments and new information must be reevaluated at least quarterly to determine both the likelihood of potential loss and whether it is possible to reasonably estimate a range of possible loss. When a loss is probable but a reasonable estimate cannot be made, disclosure of the proceeding is provided. Disclosure also is provided when it is reasonably possible that a loss will be incurred or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the recorded provision. We review all contingencies at least quarterly to determine whether the likelihood of loss has changed and to assess whether a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss can be made. As discussed above, development of a meaningful estimate of loss or a range of potential loss is complex when the outcome is directly dependent on negotiations with or decisions by third parties, such as regulatory agencies, the court system and other interested parties. Such factors bear directly on whether it is possible to reasonably estimate a range of potential loss and boundaries of high and low estimates. |

The net foreign currency translation losses during the first nine months of 2016 were primarily due to the weakening of the Canadian dollars against the U.S. dollar from April 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015. (3) The third quarter and first nine months of 2017 include net foreign currency translation losses of $31 million and $97 million and the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 include net foreign translation losses of $32 million and $2 million , which are attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests.
