Office assistants, medical assistants, nurses, and even receptionists routinely call in prescriptions for patients under direct orders from the physician. I am a medical records clerk and call in dozens of prescriptions a day. Most pharmacies in my area know me by name and don't even ask what doctor's office I'm calling from.
If you "lose" a prescription of any narcotic pain medication, the doctor will not call for a refill. Your doctor's office would even provide you with the same information, that they, nor the doctor, is authorized to refill a narcotic prescription in the event that the prescription was lost or stolen, even if you have a police report, they will NOT refill that prescription until it is due again to be refilled.
If you call your local retail pharmacy, you can use your Rx number to place a refill. You may receive a refill only if the original prescription states that there are refills; if not, the pharmacy will call the prescribing doctor for authorization on another refill.
You can't receive a prescription over the phone. I'm unsure what you're asking. If you are calling a GP to request a prescription refill you will have to call the GP's office and tell the receptionist that their patient needs a prescription refill. If you are receiving a verbal order over the phone for a new prescription then you will have to refer to the professional training you received to legally be able to do so. Ensuring all the elements of a proper order are received and verbally repeating the order back are important.
Pharmacies do not call doctors to confirm schedule II prescriptions. If they are unsure about the prescription, they may call the doctor.
I don't know if you'll have to make a new full appointment every time, but in the entire United States, all ADHD medications are Schedule II, which means they cannot be prescribed by phone, cannot have refills, nothing -- the *only* way to get them is a paper prescription, which in addition must have security features such as a watermark, etc. It is the same way with OxyContin, Morphine and other high strength pain medications. No refills, no phone prescriptions, ONLY a hard copy paper prescription can be used.
No, a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) typically cannot call in a prescription refill. Prescription refills usually require authorization from a licensed physician or other authorized healthcare provider. LVNs can assist in the process by communicating with the physician or documenting requests, but the actual authority to authorize refills lies with the prescribing provider. Always check state regulations, as they may vary.
Adderall is a Schedule II narcotic. This class of drugs are legal, but have the highest potential of abuse. For this reason, a doctor can not give a refill or call-in a script for these drugs, he must see the patient in person and write them a new script every time. So the reason the pharmacy won't refill the prescription is because it shouldn't have refills in the first place.
Hr department is responsible for that,not a receptionist
receptioner
