Referral Partners participating in the Reimbursement Program can submit an unlimited number of referrals at any time as long as they reimburse us for our costs. OHAAT’s current cost is $210 for a single twin-size bed and $448 for a twin-size bunk bed.

In Home Delivery
OHAAT volunteers deliver bedding packages directly to recipients living within OHAAT’s delivery area. (Bulk deliveries of 5+ beds may be made to locations outside of this delivery area. Contact us for more information.) Deliveries are made within 9 days of each request pending recipient availability. OHAAT volunteers do not assemble the beds, but they will put them in whatever room (or rooms) the client specifies.
Cost and Payment Methods
There is no application or membership fee to participate in the Reimbursement Program. Referral Partners simply reimburse OHAAT the cost of serving their clients. OHAAT’s current cost is $210 for a single twin-size bed and $448 for a twin-size bunk bed. Waterproof and bed bug proof mattress encasements are optional and cost an additional $40 for the single bed and $80 for the bunk bed.
Reimbursements cannot be paid by clients. They must be paid directly by the Referral Partner or a third-party organization such as a foundation or PHMC. OHAAT prefers payments made by check but also accepts cash, money orders, and credit card payments.
If you’d like to use PHMC funding to request beds, you’ll need an invoice to submit to PHMC with their required application. To request an invoice:

Becoming a Partner
If your organization meets the Referral Partner requirements listed above, then you may apply to become a partner by submitting our online Reimbursement Program Referral Partner Application Form. If you’re unsure whether your organization is an approved Referral Partner, please contact the OHAAT office.
When applying to become a Referral Partner, be prepared to supply the following information:
Referring Clients
If your organization becomes an approved Referral Partner, then you’ll receive a 5-digit Referral Partner Code. This code will allow you to refer a client at anytime using our online Reimbursement Program Client Referral Form.
If you are submitting referrals funded by PHMC, we ask that you wait to submit the referral until after PHMC has approved your application. This way we have the most up-to-date information when scheduling the delivery.
If your referral is successfully submitted, you will receive an immediate confirmation email. If you don’t receive an email confirmation, please contact our office at office@ohaat.org or 215-346-6427. Once we schedule a delivery with your client, you will receive a confirmation email stating the scheduled delivery day. After the delivery is successfully made, you will receive a final confirmation email. If at any point during this process we have difficulty reaching your client, we will contact you.

Healthy Sleep Tips
Every family that you refer to our program will get one of these handouts and a magnet and bookmark with four healthy sleep habits: go to bed at the same time every night, follow a bedtime routine, keep electronics out of the bedroom, and avoid drinks with caffeine. We encourage you to talk to the family about their sleep and how these habits can improve children’s health, behavior, and school performance.
