The Processor Control Number (PCN) is a supplementary identification that may be used in the routing of pharmaceutical transactions. Using distinct PCNs, a PBM/processor/plan may choose to distinguish amongst several plans/benefit packages. As this identity is specific to their business needs, the PCN is determined by the PBM/processor.
- There is no PCN registry.
- The PCN is specified as alphanumeric by the PBM/processor.
- According to the guidelines outlined in the NCPDP Pharmacy ID and Combination Card Implementation Guide, the PCN, together with the BIN/IIN, appears on the pharmacy ID card.
- This material is accessible to members of the NCPDP.
General information is provided under the “Pharmacy and Healthcare Identification Cards” category under Resource Topic- Guidance Documents. Not all entities differentiate plans using the PCN. Some entities may employ the Group ID, while others may not require this degree of distinction.
