Entergy Medical Needs Physician Statement

Entergy, which serves customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Orleans and Texas, flags accounts for medical-needs outreach during storms and outages when a household member uses a ventilator or left ventricular assist device 24 hours a day, or is on hospice care. There is no published form: the patient's physician writes a statement on letterhead or a prescription pad and faxes it to Entergy.

Who completes it

The patient's physician writes the whole statement. The customer starts the process by calling Entergy's customer contact center and explaining the medical need.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
The customer calls Entergy and receives a fax number from the contact center agent; the physician then faxes the statement to that number.
Who pays
Entergy lists no fee or payment for the physician's statement.

Good to know

  • The statement should name the equipment used at home, the patient's service location, the Entergy account number and the account holder's name.
  • Registration does not prevent disconnection for nonpayment, give a discount, or put the household first for restoration; Entergy says customers need their own backup plan.
  • State rules can add separate certificates for delaying disconnection, such as the Arkansas PSC Physician's Certificate of Medical Need for Utility Service.

Is there an Entergy medical form to download?

No. The physician writes a statement on their letterhead or prescription pad covering the home equipment, service location, Entergy account number and account holder's name. After the customer calls Entergy and explains the medical need, the agent provides the fax number for the physician.
