Prescription Card Image
This page allows you to store an image of a patient's prescription insurance card from the Insurances area of the Quickview or Check-in page. From a prescription card image, you can obtain the BIN, PCN, ID, and group number for the patient's insurance. This information is necessary for prior authorizations related to prescription drug benefits.
To scan cards, the Burroughs check and ID card scanner device must have approximately 2 inches of room behind it. The device comes with an extender that ensures the required spacing.

If you scan an image to your system and then use the Browse button to copy that image to the Add/Update Insurance Card Image, Prescription Card Image, or Add/Update Driver's License page, the scanned image must meet the following requirements.
Note: If you use the Burroughs ID card scanner to scan an image, the device uploads the image itself, so these rules do not apply.
- Images must be scanned with the image resolution no greater than 180 dpi. A lower dpi value produces smaller card images when viewed in athenaOne, and images are at a lower resolution. We have determined that a 150 dpi resolution with 15% JPG quality produces a clear image that fits the various athenaOne pages without scrolling; image size depends on your specific screen size area. (Testing was done using a 1024 by 768 pixel display setting.)
- Files should be named "card" and have an extension of "jpg" for file type JPEG (for example, card.jpg).
- The maximum file size for a card image is 300 kB.
