Unique patient identification number at a pharmacy.
Secondary number on a health insurance card that's used to route pharmacy claim transactions for health insurers.
Primary number on a health insurance card.
Prescription code used for controlled substances.

The correct answer is: Secondary number on a health insurance card that's used to route pharmacy claim transactions for health insurers.

A A unique patient identification number at a pharmacy would not be considered a PCN number as it does not have to do with processing claims with health insurers. C: The primary number on a health insurance card is usually the patient's identification number, not the PCN number. D: A prescription code used for controlled substances is not the same as a PCN number, which is used specifically for routing pharmacy claim transactions for health insurers.
