During the summer,
CampMeds will provide the service of dispensing and pre-packaging campers’
medication in preparation for camp. All pills taken on a routine basis
(including vitamins) will be individually packaged, sealed and sorted according
to day and time of administration. Each individually sealed packet will be
labeled with the camper’s name, medication(s), dosage, date and time to be
given. Prescription pills that are taken “as needed” are packaged separately.
If CampMeds is sent prescriptions for medication that is not in pill form
(liquids, eye drops, etc), they will be dispensed accordingly and then sent
directly to camp as well. Otherwise, please refer to camp policy as to how
these medications are to be handled. All meds will arrive at camp several days
prior to campers’ arrival.
Our affiliated, licensed pharmacies accept most insurance plans. They will
verify insurance, and then bill for prescription medication. However,
parents/guardians will be responsible for co-payments and deductibles, and the
cost of any drugs not covered by their plan. The pharmacy will bill these
charges to the responsible party’s credit card during the summer months. If the
pharmacy is not a provider for the insurance plan and is unable to get
reimbursed, the parent or responsible party will be notified prior to billing
their credit card. Due to insurance regulations, only one month of medication
can be dispensed and sent at a time, no matter how long the camper is at camp.
If more than one month of meds is required while the camper is at camp, parents
will need to supply CampMeds with a prescription that is written with refills.
Please note: Controlled substances cannot be written with refills and an
additional prescription is required. The second month’s supply of meds will
automatically be shipped to camp. Any unused meds should be sent home by the
camp.
Parents will be notified by email when CampMeds receives prescriptions and when
meds are shipped to camp.
