Welcome Parents and Students!

Schools Partner with Keystone Professional Pharmacy for their Medication Needs

 

Keystone Professional Pharmacy or KPP (billing/corporate name is VPharm, Inc.) has been chosen by your School to be their pharmacy provider for the upcoming semester or season. 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.

PLEASE NOTE: Keystone Pharmacy and our Services below are unable to fill some C2 prescriptions (Controlled Substances) due to the national drug shortage. Please contact Keystone Pharmacy directly to determine if the C2 your student is on is one that the pharmacy can get through their vendor. We also do not fill Inhalers, EpiPens, Injectables, Growth Hormones, Birth Control Prescriptions, or Acne Meds topicals and gels. There is no need to register a student with KPP if they are not taking an oral solid dosage form prescription or OTC medication. Do not proceed nor register if you only need the above services, as we cannot fill these requests.
