Yes, please log in to your account and update information for the summer 2024. (Registration will open on February 1st 2024)

All prescription and non-prescription medications, such as vitamins (taken daily and “as needed”)

Exceptions: Insulin, Growth Hormone injections, any injectable, Birth Control, Accutane, Avi-Qs.

Most camps stock drugs such as Tylenol, Advil, Benadryl, etc. Check with your camp to confirm the OTC meds they stock. If your camper takes herbal/specialty vitamins, please contact CampMeds to determine if they can be packaged.

It is your responsibility to check that the prescription is written correctly. If the med is to be taken daily, the prescription should specify daily, with the time of day (breakfast, lunch, bedtime, etc) If a prescription is written as “once a day” with no specific time, the medication will be packaged at breakfast. If the med is taken only “as needed” (PRN), the prescription must be written to specify only “as needed.”

Our pharmacy partner is contracted with most insurance plans. You will be responsible for co-pays, deductibles, and prescriptions not covered if the pharmacy is not a provider for your plan. If you have an insurance change, please send the updated insurance card to CampMeds as soon as possible. Please contact the pharmacy partner directly for questions related to medication costs. The partner pharmacy reserves the right to charge your credit card for the medication cost, co-pays, or deductibles. All credit card charges from the pharmacy will appear separately when your camper starts camp.

Usually our pharmacy can only dispense a 30-day supply of meds. You will be responsible for a 30 day co pay determined by your insurance plan. After registering with CampMeds, we ask you to contact your member services to confirm the following: 

• Your RX plan is NOT mandatory mail order for the meds we will dispense
• Your Rx plan does not have any limitation on how many times you are allowed to fill outside your mail order plan
• What your 30 day co pays will be for the meds
• We ask that you request a Vacation Override from your insurance company so our pharmacy can get paid when they submit to your insurance on the day camp begins. The camp start date will be the submitted fill date.
• You will then need to ask your physician to write a 30 day prescription to send to us.  (with refill if applicable)
• You will need to avoid refilling the med within 60 days of the camp start date, or you can request only the number of days needed until the start date of camp since that will be the date we will submit to your insurance. This will enable the pharmacy to process the medication thru your insurance when camp begins.
• If your plan does not allow you to get a 30 day prescription filled with our pharmacy, please e-mail CampMeds.

Yes, electronic prescriptions are preferred. You will need to provide the physician with the Pharmacy Name listed on your automated emails and the CampMeds receipt that you print at the end of the registration. 

Medication prescribed for “daily” use is automatically refilled by our pharmacy and sent to camp for campers attending over 30 days. Prescriptions must be written with refills. (Except for Controlled Substances, which require two separate 30-day Rx’s) PLEASE NOTE: Refills will be billed 30 days after the initial billing. Do NOT refill your child’s medicine while at camp. This will cause your insurance to reject our pharmacy claim submitted for your child’s medication, and you will be charged for the full price of the medications dispensed. Once your camper finishes any unused meds brought home from camp and any meds left at home before camp, you may refill your child’s medication. 

CampMeds will package “as needed” (PRN) medicine separately from daily meds. Your child will go to the nurse for these medications when  needed and they will be refilled only if necessary. The camp nurse will contact CampMeds if a PRN med needs to be refilled. Unused meds will be sent home at the end of camp.

You may refill your child’s medication any time before camp if necessary. The pharmacy will not bill your insurance until camp begins, but to help ensure that your plan will cover medications for camp, please have your insurance put in a “vacation override” for the CampMeds pharmacy for the start date of camp, which is when the claim will be submitted to your insurance.

The pharmacy will dispense the meds and send them to camp before your child’s arrival but will not submit them to your insurance until your child begins camp. If necessary, the pharmacy will resubmit the claim form on the appropriate date for reimbursement if a vacation override is not given for the camp start date.

Most insurance plans only reimburse for 30 days of meds/month, and you, the insured, pay a co-pay for each 30-day supply. When the Rx is written for less than a 30-day supply, your co-pay will cost the same as a 30-day supply. Refills should also be for the full 30-day supply, as unused meds are sent home from camp.

Unless the prescription is written with the words “Brand Name Necessary,” the pharmacy will dispense generic. It is your responsibility to confirm the prescription is written correctly.

An original prescription is required. For campers staying more than 30 days, an additional prescription for a 30-day supply of meds is required. It is against the law for a “controlled substance” to be refilled. Please send a separate prescription for every 30-day supply. We can accept two separate 30-day prescriptions written for the same date, but they will only be dispensed one month at a time. The physician may also write both prescriptions, each with a different date. Please visit our website at www.campmeds.com for a detailed letter you may give your physician on controlled substance prescriptions to be dispensed by the CampMeds pharmacy. CampMeds pharmacy.

No, the pharmacy will dispense the “exact” written request you listed on the Med Form. This form is filled out during your CampMeds registration.

Our pharmacy partner will not submit to your insurance until camp begins. Anticipate the charge for dispensed medications after the camp session. Charges for each subsequent session's medications are processed at each session's end.

We will send you an automated email from orders@campmeds.com once we receive them. If you do not receive a confirming email within one week of mailing them, please contact us.
