- 2. Do I Need To Register My Child Again If I Registered Last Summer?
Yes. Please fill out the Camper Medication Form.
- 3. How Do I Avoid Late Registration Fees and Expedited Shipping Fees?
Register your camper 30 days prior to camp start date and submit your prescriptions 30 days prior to camp start date to avoid fees.
Camp administration consists of the following up to and including; contacting parents/guardians, contacting physicians, contacting insurances, assisting your physician with prior authorizations, typing, ordering, special packaging, pharmacist checking, reporting, MARS, packing individual packets, shipping extra OTC’s and shipping. If the camper is not registered and prescriptions are not submitted timely, your camper is moved to a RUSH status causing the need for extra staff, possible overtime, and expedited shipping costs to ensure your campers medications are at camp and ready for when your camper arrives.
$25.00 Late Registration Fee
To avoid a late registration fee, please register your camper 30 days prior to the start of camp. If we do not receive the camper registration at least 30 days prior to the start of camp session, the responsible party will be charged a $25.00 late registration fee.
$30.00 Expedited Shipping Fee
To avoid an expedited shipping fee, be sure to provide your prescriptions 30 days prior to camp start date. This will ensure your campers medications will be included in the initial delivery to camp, which is two weeks prior to camp start date. If your camper’s prescriptions did not make the initial ship date, due to a late registration or prescriptions being submitted late, the responsible party will be charged a $30.00 expedited shipping fee.
If you have any questions about fees, please contact My Kids Camp at (951) 407-0707
- 4. Which Medications Am I Required To Have Dispensed and Packaged?
ALL prescription and all non-prescription medications including vitamins and herbal supplements. Except: insulin, growth hormone injections, birth control pills, Accutane, rescue inhalers and epinephrine. PLEASE NOTE: Most camps stock drugs such as Tylenol, Advil, Benadryl, etc; you do not need to have Perris Hills Pharmacy dispense those items if they are only taken “as needed”. Check with your camp to confirm the OTC medications they stock.
If your camper takes herbal/specialty vitamins, please contact Perris Hills Pharmacy to determine if they can be packaged.
- 5. How Can I Ensure The Medications Will Be Packaged Exactly The Way My Child Takes Them?
We strongly suggest you review your camper's prescription with your physician to confirm it is written the way your camper takes the medication prior to sending to Perris Hills Pharmacy.
As the parent or legal guardian, it is your responsibility that each prescription is written correctly. If a medication is taken daily, you must specify what time of the day it's to be taken for example "Every breakfast, lunch, dinner, bedtime" 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”.
- 6. Will Perris Hills Pharmacy Accept My Insurance? If So, Are All Medications Covered?
Perris Hills Pharmacy accepts most insurance plans. However, it is not until you submit the Camper's Medication Form with complete insurance information, that your insurance plan can be verified for billing. Perris Hills Pharmacy will contact you if your prescription plan is not accepted.
- 7. Will It Cost More Than I Usually Pay For Prescriptions?
If you submit your paperwork before registration deadline, the cost should be the same to you as it would be at your regular pharmacy any other time of the year. After registration deadline, you will be subject to late fees, but your prescription costs remain the same.
- 8. What if My Camper's Prescriptions Change? Or if My Insurance Changes?
If your camper's medications have changed, please fill-out the form My Camper's Medication Has Changed.
If a NEW medication, or DOSE change is prescribed, contact your prescription plan to confirm the medication and dose is covered for a 30 day supply. You may also contact Perris Hills Pharmacy and we can run it to see if this NEW medication or DOSE change is covered. If your insurance changes and the pharmacy has already sent medication to camp, you will be responsible for co-pays, deductibles, and prescriptions not covered if the pharmacy is not a provider for your plan.
If your insurance has changed, please fill-out the form My Insurance Has Changed. If you have a primary and secondary insurance, make sure to add both primary and secondary insurance information on the form, even if only one insurance has changed. This form will invalidate the
previous insurance information you submitted.
If you do not follow these steps and your new insurance denies the charges, we reserve the right to charge your credit card for the full cost of medication. All credit card charges from the pharmacy will appear as a separate charge after your child returns from camp.

- 10. What If My Child’s Medication Needs To Be Refilled While At Camp?
Medications can be refilled by Perris Hills Pharmacy and sent to camp for campers attending over 30 days.
- 11. How Are The Medications Packaged?
Your camp requires special packaging to ensure safe and accurate dispensing. Each camper’s medication(s) are packaged in special Dispill packaging. Each prescription is
detailed with your child’s name, name of medication, date and time to be administered, as well as any special instructions. Only medications in pill form are included in the Dispill packaging.
Liquids will be included in the campers individual packet. Each camper is then individually packaged for the camp nursing staff to open and verify all is correct. Each packet includes medications, instructions, reports, and MAR’s.
- 12. Can You Package Prescription Medications My Child Uses On “As Needed” Basis or “PRN”?
Yes, both prescription and over the counter medications can be packaged “as needed”. They will be packaged separately and labeled with instructions for administration.
- 13. What if I need to fill a prescription for my child close to camp start date?
If your camper is completely out, fill this prescription. Please refrain from filling if you do not need it, this will cause a rejection on our side when we attempt to bill. Only fill if your camper is completely out. You may refill your child’s medication any time before the start of camp, if necessary.
- 14. Why isn't medication dispensed for the exact days of camp, rather than in 30 day increments?
Most insurance plans only reimburse for 30 days of medications/month, and you the insured, pay co-pay for each 30 day supply. When the prescription is written for less than a 30 day supply, your co-pay will cost the same as a 30 day supply. Refills should also be for the full 30 day supply,, unused medications are sent home from camp. OTC medications cannot be shared between siblings. Additionally, any left over OTC will be shipped to the parents home.
- 15. Can a half of a pill be packaged?
Yes.
- 16. My child takes a different dose of the same medicine every other day. Can it be packaged that way?
Yes.
- 17. Will the pharmacy dispense generic or brand?
Unless the prescription is written with the words “Brand Name Necessary,” the pharmacy will dispense generic. It is your responsibility to confirm the prescription is written correctly.
- 18. What if my child takes a “CII Controlled Substance” such as "Concerta" or "Adderall"?
An e-script is required from your physician’s office. For campers staying more than 30 days, an additional prescription for a 30 day supply of medication is required. It is against the law for a “CII controlled substance” to be refilled. We can accept two separate 30 day prescriptions written for the same date, but they will only be dispensed one month at a time.
Please note: You will need to send your child's Physician, instructions on how to prescribe for camp sessions. You can forward the following page with instructions Physician Instructions. You can also download the PDF of the Physician's Instructions for print here.
- 19. 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?
Perris Hills pharmacy will rush your new order. The prescription will be filled and shipped to the camp as soon as possible. With camp administration approval only, you may be asked to send your child with a small supply of medication as back up. Never send medications with your camper without prior approval. If applicable, a late registration fee and/or expedited shipping fee may apply.
- 20. What if my child requires a new medication while at camp?
Perris Hills Pharmacy will always attempt to send out any new medication and or dose changes to camp to keep the medicaiton dispensing system uniform. However, in some instances, your camp may need to utilize a local pharmacy. If applicable, a late registration fee and/or expedited shipping fee may apply.
- 21. When will the pharmacy charge me for my camper's medications?
Perris Hills Pharmacy will not submit to your insurance until camp begins, you may not receive a charge on your credit card until two months AFTER your camper returns home. Please notify us if your credit card information changes during the summer.
- 22. Do I need a Prescription for Over the Counter Medication?
Yes, when possible. When not possible, Perris Hills Pharmacy will dispense per your written request, assuming the dosage is appropriate, from the Campers Registration form.
- 23. Will I have confirmation that Perris Hills Pharmacy has received my Prescriptions?
Yes. We will send you an email from Camp@PerrisHillsPharmacy.com once we receive them. If you do not receive a confirming email within one week of mailing them, please contact us.
