perscription plan requires social security number to pharmacy

perscrioption plan for my daughter, requires she reveal her social security number to each pharmacy prior to filling a persciption, if she wants to use her plan and pay a co-pay. I thought this was no longer going to be a requirment in this world of idenity theft??
