A medical assistant in a family practice receives a phone call from a patient asking to have their prescription for a Schedule II controlled substance refilled. According to federal regulations, what is the appropriate action the medical assistant should take?

  • Call the pharmacy and authorize up to a 30-day refill, provided the provider signs the hard copy within 72 hours.

  • Advise the patient that the prescription may be refilled once if the medication is not a narcotic analgesic.

  • Generate an electronic refill request that can be dispensed up to five times within six months with the provider's approval.
