If a doctor cannot provide a patient's date of birth, it would be appropriate to ask for the patient's address or phone number instead. It is important to obtain another piece of patient information in addition to the patient's name, when a doctor is phoning in a prescription. This is to make sure that the prescription is filled for the correct patient, in case another patient has the same or similar name.
