Question

a patient presents to the pharmacy with a prescription drug card to get a prescription refilled. which of the following identifies the patient as the primary, spouse, or dependent on the insurance plan?

person code

identification (id) number

pcn number

group code

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Person code: Specifically used to identify the patient's relationship (primary, spouse, dependent) in an insurance plan.
• ID number: Identifies the individual but not the relationship to the plan.
• PCN number: Related to pharmacy benefit management, not relationship.
• Group code: Identifies the group (e.g., employer) the plan belongs to, not the patient's relationship.

Answer:

A. Person code
