Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION Laboratory Corporation of America ® Holdings (Labcorp ® or the Company) is a leading global life sciences company that provides vital information to help doctors, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, researchers, and patients make clear and confident decisions. By leveraging its strong diagnostics and drug development capabilities, the Company provides insights and accelerates innovations to improve health and improve lives. The Company reports its business in two segments, Labcorp Diagnostics (Dx) and Labcorp Drug Development (DD). For further financial information about these segments, see Note 11 (Business Segment Information) to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, Dx and DD contributed approximately 63% and 37% respectively, of revenues to the Company. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries for which it exercises control. Long-term investments in affiliated companies in which the Company exercises significant influence, but which it does not control, are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which the Company does not exercise significant influence (generally, when the Company has an investment of less than 20.0% and no representation on the investee's board of directors) are accounted for at fair value, or at cost minus impairment adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer for those investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The Company does not have any significant variable interest entities or special purpose entities whose financial results are not included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The financial statements of the Company's operating foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, cash flows, and financial position have been made. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s fiscal year 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Annual Report). Therefore, these interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings including the impact of dilutive adjustments by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive shares, as if they had been issued at the earlier of the date of issuance or the beginning of the period presented. Potentially dilutive common shares result primarily from the Company’s outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and performance share awards. The following represents a reconciliation of basic earnings per share to diluted earnings per share: Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 Earnings Shares Per Share Amount Earnings Shares Per Share Amount Basic earnings per share: Net earnings $ 491.6 93.2 $ 5.27 $ 769.6 97.6 $ 7.88 Dilutive effect of employee stock options and awards — 0.8 — 0.9 Net earnings including impact of dilutive adjustments $ 491.6 94.0 $ 5.23 $ 769.6 98.5 $ 7.82 Diluted earnings per share represent the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. These potential shares include dilutive stock options and unissued restricted stock awards. The following table summarizes the potential common shares not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their impact would have been antidilutive: Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 Employee stock options and awards 0.3 — |

Fair Value Measurements | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company’s population of financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements as of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, is as follows: Fair Value Measurements as of March 31, 2022 Balance Sheet Fair Value as of Using Fair Value Hierarchy Classification March 31, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Noncontrolling interest put Noncontrolling interest $ 16.4 $ — $ 16.4 $ — Cross currency swaps Other liabilities 36.7 — 36.7 — Interest rate swaps Other liabilities 31.3 — 31.3 — Cash surrender value of life insurance policies Other assets, net 102.0 — 102.0 — Deferred compensation liability Other liabilities 103.5 — 103.5 — Investment in equity securities Other current assets 5.9 5.9 — — Contingent consideration Other liabilities 105.2 — — 105.2 Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2021 Balance Sheet Fair Value as of Using Fair Value Hierarchy Classification December 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Noncontrolling interest put Noncontrolling interest $ 16.3 $ — $ 16.3 $ — Cross currency swaps Other liabilities 32.8 — 32.8 — Interest rate swaps Other assets, net 2.9 — 2.9 — Cash surrender value of life insurance policies Other assets, net 106.4 — 106.4 — Deferred compensation liability Other liabilities 104.4 — 104.4 — Investment in equity securities Other current assets 10.9 10.9 — — Contingent consideration Other liabilities 21.9 — — 21.9 Fair Value Measurement of Level 3 Liabilities Contingent Consideration Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 21.9 Payments (4.4) Adjustments (2.3) Additions 90.0 Balance as of March 31, 2022 $ 105.2 The Company has a noncontrolling interest put related to its Ontario subsidiary that has been classified as mezzanine equity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The noncontrolling interest put is valued at its contractually determined value, which approximates fair value. The Company offers certain employees the opportunity to participate in an employee-funded deferred compensation plan (DCP). A participant's deferrals are allocated by the participant to one or more of 16 measurement funds, which are indexed to externally managed funds. From time to time, to offset the cost of the growth in the participant's investment accounts, the Company purchases life insurance policies, with the Company named as beneficiary of the policies. Changes in the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies are based upon earnings and changes in the value of the underlying investments, which are typically invested in a similar manner to the participant's allocations. Changes in the fair value of the DCP obligation are derived using quoted prices in active markets based on the market price per unit multiplied by the number of units. The cash surrender value and the DCP obligations are classified within Level 2 because their inputs are derived principally from observable market data by correlation to the hypothetical investments. Contingent accrued earn-out business acquisition consideration liabilities are measured at fair value using Level 3 valuations. These contingent consideration liabilities were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and are remeasured quarterly based on the then assessed fair value and adjusted if necessary. The increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration payable can result from changes in anticipated revenue levels and changes in assumed discount periods and rates. As the fair value measure is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, they are categorized as Level 3. |

Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS On February 18, 2022, the Company closed its acquisition of Personal Genome Diagnostics Inc. (PGDx), a leader in cancer genomics with a portfolio of comprehensive liquid biopsy and tissue-based products, for approximately $455.1 in cash. The purchase considerations for this acquisition have been allocated under the acquisition method of accounting to the estimated fair market value of the net assets acquired, including approximately $270.0 in identifiable intangible assets and a residual amount of non-tax deductible goodwill of approximately $286.2. The amortization period for technology intangible assets acquired from this business is 12 years. The acquisition was made primarily to complement and accelerate the Company’s existing liquid biopsy capabilities and expand the Company’s leading oncology portfolio of next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based genomic profiling capabilities. The transaction includes two milestone earnout payments, with one based on the successful development of the in-process testing and the other based on revenue. The Company has recorded an estimate of $90.0 for this contingent consideration. The excess of the fair value of the consideration conveyed over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The preliminary valuation of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, include the following: |
