Alexander Muss High School in Israel – Welcome!
Keystone Professional Pharmacy or KPP (billing/corporate name is VPharm, Inc.) has been chosen by your School to be the pharmacy provider for the Alexander Muss High School in Israel trip. Medication safety administration and storage is a top priority for KPP and your School. KPP has the knowledge and experience to provide the compliance packaging that the school is requiring for all oral solid dosage form medications and OTCs.
A little bit about KPP: Our pharmacy has been servicing schools and camps for the past 10 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.
Student Trip Registration is an Easy Three-Step Process:
- Register:
If you have a student traveling on this school trip taking medications you must complete the Trip Registration Form. First, you will input general information that applies to all students TAKING MEDICATION. There is no need to register a student with KPP if they are not taking an oral solid dosage form prescription or OTC medication. Also, PLEASE NOTE that Keystone is unable to fill C2 prescriptions (Controlled Substances) due to the national drug shortage. 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 $150.00/student. Order add-ons, OTC meds, and special request re-packs also carry fees. All fees are outlined below.
