Delmarva Power's Certification of Medical Need gives a Delaware household Medical Alert status when a licensed physician, physician assistant or advanced nurse practitioner certifies that terminating electric or gas service would adversely affect a patient's health or recovery. Once Delmarva approves it, the certification lasts 120 days. The customer stays responsible for all charges on the account.
The customer and patient complete page 1 (account, service address, patient name) and sign under oath, with a parent or guardian signing for a minor. The medical provider completes page 2: name, state license number, practice, office address and phone, and a signed certification.
