When health insurance consumers enroll in coverage for the first time, change health plans (at any time), or change insurance carriers, they can sometimes experience a delay in accessing pharmacy benefits. This is because of the brief administration period the health plan needs to process such changes. When this occurs, while waiting to receive their new health plan ID Cards, members may use their plan’s Rx BIN and PCN numbers to access pharmacy benefits. The Rx BIN number is a six-digit number health plans use to process electronic pharmacy claims. The PCN (Processor Control Number) identifies each health plan’s drug benefit processor or Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM). Rx BIN Numbers and PCNs for California Small Group health plans are shown by carrier in the table below. Your clients may be able to use this information, if necessary, to obtain prescriptions during this short transition period.
