Obtaining a BIN/PCN
The Bank Identification Number (BIN) is a six-digit number that is assigned for electronic routing of transactions. The Processor Control Number (PCN) is secondary identifier that may be used in routing of pharmacy transactions. The PCN is defined by the PBM/processor as this identifier is unique to their business needs. There is no registry of PCNs. The PCN, like the BIN appear on the pharmacy ID card, in accordance with the rules defined in the NCPDP Pharmacy ID and Combination Card Implementation Guide. Not all entities may use the PCN to differentiate plans. Some entities may use the Group ID; still others may not need this level of differentiation.
Information on BIN/PCN If questions, contact the NCPDP Pharmacy Services department at 480-477-1000.
