a scheduled visit during which the patient is assigned medication

That is my understanding of the phrase.

This may not necessarily mean a visit to a doctor or some other medical specialist in your case, but simply another telephone call during which medication is assigned to the patient.

you could also phrase it as "to confirm you wish to program [or schedule] a medication assignment appointment".

See explanation below....

While I tend to agree with all three other explanations (cop out, I know, leaving the asker to make a decision on his/her own, but isn't that what KudoZ is all about!), I wish to suggest that the actual "assignment" may not refer to the VISIT but to the dispensing of the medication, which will lead to a visit for administration of the said medication.

A couple of web references which I think support my argument...

I hope that made sense to you all!! I'm a bit tired tonight!
