Claims this source supports

• SCE's Medical Baseline Allowance provides an additional allocation of electricity at the baseline (lowest) rate for customers with a qualifying medical condition or qualifying medical device.
• SCE lists qualifying medical devices that include aerosol tents, air mattresses/hospital beds, apnea monitors/CPAP, dialysis and hemodialysis machines, infusion pumps, motorized wheelchairs, oxygen generators, respirators, and suction machines.
• SCE states plainly that devices used for therapy, but not medically required for sustaining life, do not qualify.
• The application requires a medical professional's signature on page 2; approved customers see the Medical Baseline allocation on their bill within one to two billing cycles.
• Recertification is required every two to four years: every four years for a condition certified as permanent, and every two years for a non-permanent condition requiring a medical professional's re-signature.
