PAYMENT

SELF-PAY: By submitting a registration, you are committing to the fees for the program(s) you selected. You may either pay in full or pay a deposit of $150 at the time of registration.

Payment is due in full within 2 weeks of submitting your registration. Payments are refundable ONLY if we are unable to fulfill your initial schedule request. All payments are nonrefundable once a schedule has been agreed upon. We are unable to make changes to days/times once the schedule is set.

FINANCIAL AID: Your scholarship application must be submitted at the time of registration. Registrations with Financial Aid selected will not be considered without a complete scholarship application including supporting documentation. Scholarship applications submitted without supporting documentation will not be considered. Click HERE for the scholarship application available on our site under Our Services.

All payments are nonrefundable once a schedule has been agreed upon and financial aid has been approved. We are unable to make changes to days/times once the schedule is set.

DDD: Upon submitting a registration, participant families are ultimately responsible for payment of all fees for the services for which they have registered. If DDD does not cover all lesson fees for any reason, participant families are responsible for payment in full and will be billed. Once you register and a schedule is agreed upon, we will provide your support coordinator with an invoice. At this point, you are committed to a spot and there will be NO reversal of billing (aka refund). This policy is the same for all participants regardless of method of payment.

Your support coordinator should set up the service plan as a single payment that can be billed for the first the week of lessons. Please share this registration link with your support coordinator as it provides them with all of the necessary information to create the service plan. Registration is only complete once Pony Power receives your approved service plan. While we are asking for the contact information of your support coordinator, it is the responsibility of the participant family to initiate, follow up and ensure that Pony Power is provided an approved service plan for each semester.

Third-party Payment by CMOs, school districts, foundations or any other resource covering the cost of services: If you have been referred by a CMO such as Bergen's Promise or Circle of Care, please include contact information for your case manager or the person responsible for billing at your school district or the foundation funding your services at Pony Power. In order to hold a spot for you, we will need to receive payment or written confirmation that fees for your services will be covered by the third party payer within 7 days of registration.
