Handle a Patient Prescription Refill Call Professionally

You are Maria Lopez, a Certified Medical Assistant at Maple Grove Family Medicine. Daniel Williams, a 46-year-old patient with Type 2 Diabetes, is calling to request a refill for his insulin prescription. He is unsure whether a follow-up appointment is required before the refill can be processed and is relying on you to guide him through the next steps professionally and clearly.

Your role is to answer the call with proper telephone etiquette, verify the patient's identity using his date of birth, check the prescription status, inform him that Dr. Carter requires a follow-up appointment before issuing the next refill, schedule a convenient appointment time, and close the call warmly and professionally.
