Care Coordination Appointments – SCE Customers

Customers and family members who depend on powered medical equipment should plan to have a backup power source, such as an uninterruptible power supply or a backup location in case of a power outage.

Identifying “electricity dependent” based on two factors:

1. Medical Baseline Allowance is a rate structure, and the eligibility requirements do not include all AFN electricity dependency needs.
2. There isn’t a consistent definition/qualifications across the organizations used to determine “electricity dependent”. (e.g., IHSS, RC, Medicare, CPUC). Note: Households may be in multiple of the customer AFN segmented identifies.

If you or someone in your household requires the regular use of electrically-powered medical equipment or other qualifying medical devices, you may be eligible for the Medical Baseline Allowance program. This program provides an additional 16.5 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per day. Provided at the lowest baseline rate, this helps offset the cost of operating the medical equipment.
