In our on-going commitment to meet the needs of our campers who require medication while at camp as well comply with strict state regulations regarding medication dispensing for summer camps, we will continue to work with CampMedsInc., a pre-packaging medication program founded by a former camp nurse. CampMeds has been servicing the camping industry for the past 7 years providing the convenient service of dispensing, packaging and shipping medications directly to camps.
Judy Spatz Our policy and procedure for dispensing and administering medicine requires camp families to have ALL of your child’s medicine (except Accutane, growth hormone, insulin Rabbi Isaac Saposnik
and birth control pills) to be dispensed by CampMeds and sent to camp prior to their arrival. Winter Information

there is no need to have CampMeds dispense typical OTC items.
Medications that are in pill form are individually packaged and sealed according to date and
time of administration. Each individual packet may contain one or more pills prescribed to
be given at the same time. This method of dispensing medicine during summer camp
minimizes potential med errors, ensuring that every camper gets the correct medication and

dosage, at the right time, on the right day. It also allows your children to return to their
camp activities sooner, because administering meds that are pre-packaged and organized
reduces their time spent in line waiting for meds! Our nurses now have more time to devote
to your child’s other healthcare needs.
Medication at camp is dispensed at mealtimes and bedtime. Only if medically necessary and a specific time is written on the prescription, will the meds be dispensed at a different time of day. You are responsible to check that your child’s prescriptions are written exactly how and when the medication is to be given. For example, if the med is to be taken only as needed, the prescription must be written that way; if the med is to be the “brand drug”, the prescription must specify “brand only” or the generic will be dispensed.
We want to be clear that we do expect 100% participation from families with campers who will need medication while at camp. The only exception to this procedure is if CampMeds notifies us that they are unable to accept your insurance. If your camper does not take medication, you do not need to register with CampMeds.
If your camper will be taking medication at camp this summer, please read the following detailed letter, important FAQ’s and visit their website, www.campmeds.com for additional information and to register your camper.
We are confident that this program continues to help us achieve our primary goal; the health, well-being and safety of your child.“So many friendships made and strengthened…wish the summer could be lengthened!”

Please refer to our website www.CampMeds.com for registration and important details. For questions contact CampMeds at 954-577-0025 or [email protected].Please review the following FAQ’s. CampMeds FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. Exactly which medications am I required to have CampMeds dispense?
All prescription non-prescription meds and vitamins (taken daily and “as needed”) except the following: Accutane,
insulin, growth hormone injections, birth control pills
Most camps stock drugs such as Tylenol, Advil, Benadryl, etc; you do not need to have CampMedsdispense those
typical items if they are only taken “as needed”.
If your camper takes herbal/specialty vitamins, please contact CampMeds to determine if they can be packaged. 2. How can I be sure the meds will be packaged exactly the way my child takes them?
It is your responsibility to check that the written prescription is written correctly. If the med is to be taken daily, the prescription should be written for every day with the time of day, such as morning, with lunch, etc. If the med is to be given at bedtime, the prescription must specify. If a prescription is written as “once a day” with no specific time, the medication will be packaged for the morning. If the med is taken only “as needed” (PRN), the prescription must be written to specify only “as needed”. 3. Do I need to register my child again if I registered last summer?
Yes, you need to register for this summer and your child will be assigned a new Camper ID.
4. Will the pharmacy accept my insurance?
Our pharmacy partner is contracted with most insurance plans however, until you submit your online registration form with complete insurance information, your plan cannot be verified for billing. We will contact you if the pharmacy is not on your plan. You will not be required to participate in the CampMeds program if your insurance will not pay for medicine dispensed by our pharmacy. It is CampMeds responsibility to verify the pharmacy is an in network provider for your insurance plan. You will be responsible for co-payments, deductibles and any over- the-counter requests not covered by insurance. If you have an insurance change, please email the updated insurance to CampMeds in order to avoid the credit card charges for the full cost of medication. All credit card charges from the pharmacy may appear as a separate charge after your child returns from camp. 5. Will my co pay be the same from the CampMeds pharmacy?
Our pharmacy partner will confirm that they are a participating provider for your insurance plan once you have registered at www.campmeds.com. This will ensure that your co pays will be the same as you pay at your local pharmacy. You will be notified if we are NOT a provider for your plan. Since we will NOT submit to your insurance until your child arrives at camp (a courtesy that enables refills prior to camp if needed), there is no way for the pharmacy to determine in advance if the medication your child will be prescribed and/or the dose that is prescribed, will be covered by your insurance, or if a prior authorization from the physician will be required for a particular medication prescribed. It is your responsibility to contact your insurance to confirm all medication and dosages will be covered. Please keep in mind that insurance plans change frequently, so it is a good idea to contact your prescription processor prior to mailing your child’s prescriptions to CampMeds. 6. What if I use a mail order pharmacy or have a 90-day prescription plan?
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. Please register at www.campmeds.com and follow instructions below:
After registering, fax CampMeds a copy of both sides of your insurance card that covers the meds and note that
you use a Mail Order pharmacy for your child’s medication. You must also reference the Camper ID you will receive at the end of registering.
List the medications and dosages to be dispensed
We will confirm that our pharmacy is a participating provider for your insurance plan and that we can dispense a
30 day supply of meds.
If medication is needed prior to camp, count the number of days your camper will need before camp and request
only that number of days be filled for home use.
CampMeds will contact you to discuss details. If we are unable to dispense meds for your child, your registration 7. What if my child’s medication needs to be refilled while at camp?
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. 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 submission of your child’s medication claim, and you will be charged full price for meds dispensed. Once your camper finishes any unused meds brought home from camp, along with any meds left at home prior to camp, you may then refill your child’s medication. You will fall right back in to your refill cycle! 8. How are “as needed” medicines packaged? CampMeds will pre-package “as needed” (PRN) medicine separately from daily meds. Your child will go to the nurse for these medications when he/she needs them 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.
9. What if I need to fill a prescription for my child before camp starts?
You may refill your child’s medication anytime before camp, if necessary. In order to help ensure that medications for camp will be covered by your plan, please request only the amount of medication needed at home before camp begins. The pharmacy will not bill your insurance until camp begins.
10. I can only refill my child’s medicine when he is down to his last pill. How can the pharmacy send the meds to camp before a refill is due? The pharmacy will dispense the meds and send to camp prior to your child’s arrival, but will not submit to your insurance until the day your child begins camp. If need be, thepharmacy will request a vacation override from your insurance company. On occasion, the pharmacy will to resubmit the claim form on the appropriate date for reimbursement. Med charges may not appear on your credit card until your child returns from camp. 11. Why don’t you dispense meds for the exact days of camp, rather than in 30 day increments?
Most insurance plans only reimburse for 30 days of meds per month, and you the insured, usually pay a co pay for each 30 day supply. If the Rx is written for less than a 30 day supply, your co pay will be the same cost as a 30 day supply. If the Rx is written for a 40 day supply because your child attends camp for 40 days, we will dispense a 30 day supply. The refill will be dispensed for the remaining 10 days which will cost the same as a 30 day supply.
12. Will non-prescriptions cost the same as I pay at my pharmacy?
The pharmacy is competitive in pricing however, there is no way to know if you will pay a few dollars more, or a few dollars less.
13. Can a half of a pill be packaged? Yes 14. My child takes a different dose of the same medicine every other day. Can it be packaged that way? Yes 15. Will the pharmacy dispense generic or brand?
Unless the prescription specifies “Brand Only”, “Brand Medically Necessary” or “Do Not Substitute”, the pharmacy will dispense generic. It is your responsibility to confirm the prescription is written correctly.
16. What if my child takes a “Controlled Substance” such as Concerta or Adderall?
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. All prescriptions for the child’s camp stay should be received by CampMeds at the same time. 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. You may explain that 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 write both prescriptions each with a different date. 17. What if my child is placed on a prescription or non-prescription daily medication after the deadline date to register and submit prescriptions has passed? CampMedswill always accommodate all campers at anytime. You may be asked to send your child with a small supply of meds as back up and the $25 late fee will apply. 18. When will the pharmacy charge me for my camper's medications? Since our pharmacy partner will not submit
to your insurance until camp begins, you may not receive a charge on your credit card until AFTER your camper returns home. Please notify us if your credit card information changes during the summer.
