Welcome Camp Towanda Parents!
Keystone Professional Pharmacy or KPP (billing/corporate name is VPharm, Inc.) has been chosen by Camp Towanda to be their pharmacy provider for the upcoming camp season. Medication safety administration and storage is a top priority for Camp Towanda. KPP has the knowledge and experience to provide the compliance packaging that the camp is requiring for all oral solid dosage form medications and OTCs.
A little bit about KPP: Our pharmacy has been servicing summer camps for the past 12+ years. With that experience, KPP is very confident in guiding parents through the process of coordinating with prescribers to assure prescription accuracy and with insurance plans to successfully get prescriptions reimbursed or navigate through claim rejections.
Registration is an Easy Three-Step Process:
- Register:
If you have a camper or campers taking medications you must complete the Camper Registration Form. First, you will input general information that applies to all campers TAKING MEDICATION. There is no need to register a camper with KPP if they are not taking an oral solid dosage form prescription or OTC medication. PLEASE NOTE that Keystone is unable to fill some C2 prescriptions (Controlled Substances) due to the national drug shortage. Please contact Keystone directly to determine if the C2 your camper is prescribed can be filled at our pharmacy. KPP does not fill Inhalers, EpiPens, Injectables, Growth Hormones, Birth Control Prescriptions, or Acne Meds topicals and gels. Prescription Insurance cards are uploaded during this part of the registration process. Credit card and FSA/HSA info is also obtained at this time. Registration is $75.00/camper for the first 3 campers. There is a $30 late fee after 5/25 and $60 late fee after 6/9. There is a discounted registration fee for more than 3 campers in one family. All fees are outlined below.
