Was wondering if there is a grand list of the common BINs and their group numbers of the health plans?
 
No, there isn't a grand list. You simply input whatever the BIN, group, and ID numbers are on the card. There may be a PCN number as well, and for certain insurances it is necessary.

You will quickly learn that 004336 is Caremark, 003858 is Express Scripts, and 610014 is Medco, which is now Express Scripts. Everything else is what it is, and insurances change year after year, with brand new BIN numbers.

BIN stands for Bank Identification Number.
 
PCN stands for processor control number and what's up with blue cross blue shield not putting the actual I'd number on the card, instead of it starts with XZ you ignore those letters and sometimes you have to add 1s or 0s...
