Rider MD
Medical Discount

Purpose

The Medical Discount is offered to lessen the financial impact of higher electricity costs resulting from operating life-support and critical health maintenance electrical equipment.

Applicability

The Medical Discount is available to persons whose service address serves as the primary place of residence and who reside there full time, year round. The household must be receiving service under Alameda Power & Telecom's (Alameda P&T's) Schedule D-1 Residential Service.

The customer must certify that the disabled occupant is:

1. Dependent upon a life-support device; or
2. A paraplegic, hemiplegic, or quadriplegic requiring additional space heating; or
3. A Multiple Sclerosis patient requiring additional space heating or air conditioning; or
4. A Scleroderma patient requiring additional space heating.

Certification requires a dated letter from the disabled occupant's attending physician stating the occupant's name, disability, and need for special life-support or additional space heating/conditioning requirements for reasons specified in a-d above. Medical conditions other than listed above may be eligible for a discount and will be reviewed on an individual basis. All disabled occupants must requalify every two years by submitting a new dated letter of doctor's certification.

Customers who are receiving the discount associated with the bill assistance component of Alameda P&T's Energy Assistance Program (see Rider EA) are not eligible for the Medical Discount.

Rate

Medical Discount: Alameda P&T charges under the Rate Schedule D-1 will be discounted by 10%, not including State and Local taxes.
