Medical Baseline Allowance

Get additional quantities of energy at the lowest (baseline) price for residential customers. To qualify for Medical Baseline, a California-licensed physician must certify that a full-time resident in your home has one of these medical conditions:

  • Dependent on life-support equipment while at home*
  • A paraplegic, hemiplegic, quadriplegic or multiple sclerosis patient with special heating and/or cooling needs
  • A scleroderma patient with special heating needs
  • A life-threatening illness or compromised immune system with special heating and/or cooling requirements to sustain the patient's life or prevent deterioration of the patient's medical condition

For instructions and how to apply for Medical Baseline, download and print the appropriate document(s) below:

*Life-support equipment includes any medical device used to sustain life or relied upon for mobility (as determined by a licensed doctor). Equipment is for home-use only. Equipment used for therapy rather than for life support generally does not qualify for Medical Baseline. Notify PG&E of any full-time resident in your home on life-support equipment so we can place a special code on your account. We use this code to notify customers if service will be interrupted due to planned maintenance, repair, construction or rolling blackouts. We are unable, of course, to provide advance notice of unscheduled power interruptions due to events such as storms, accidents, vandalism or equipment failure.
