Answer: (D)

Understanding when and how to attach insurance to a patient profile during pricing is about ensuring the system uses the right coverage to calculate correct pricing and eligibility. The process starts with collecting the patient’s insurance card and confirming their identity in the system. Then you open the patient’s information and use the available tools (including any third-party apps) to locate the patient record. You select the unassigned plan and enter the insurer’s BIN and PCN, usually choosing the first plan shown. Next, you input the patient’s date of birth and member ID, add the group number and person code, and mark this plan as the primary one. Save these changes, then update the prescription with the new insurance data and reprint so the price reflects coverage. If the data still doesn’t process correctly, seek help from an experienced technician.
