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 determine which element identifies the patient's status (primary, spouse, dependent) on an insurance plan:

• Person code: Specifically used to indicate the patient's relationship to the insurance plan (primary, spouse, dependent).
• Identification (ID) number: Identifies the individual but not their relationship to the plan.
• PCN number: Pharmacy Control Number, related to pharmacy processing, not relationship status.
• Group code: Identifies the insurance group, not the individual's relationship.

So the correct option is Person code.

Answer:

A. Person code
