Insurance BIN Number?

Question

I need to bring my insurance information to the pharmacy in order to get my prescription costs down. They asked for me to bring several numbers, such as ID #, Group #, etc. I got that, but it also asks for a "BIN #". I don't know what that is or where to get that info, is it on the insurance card (I have Blue Cross)? I hope someone can help because I'm in a bind.

Thanks,

Patrick

Answer 1

It is on the card.  Bring the card to the pharmacy and they will put it in the computer.

Answer 2

That's something that they need in order to bill your prescription plan electronically. (Which is easier for them, and helps them get paid faster)  If you bring a copy of your insurance card to the pharmacy they should be able to get everything they need from it.

Answer 3

Take your insurance card to the pharmacy.  Everything they need is on that card.  I don't know what they mean by BIN number, but there should be a phone number on your card and the pharmacy can call the insurance if they need to.
