Sacramento Municipal Utility District offers a Medical Equipment Discount rate to households whose electricity costs rise because of qualifying home medical equipment or extraordinary heating or cooling needs. The customer completes sections 1 to 3, and a qualified health professional completes section 4 on the back. SMUD returns any application that lacks the health professional's signature.
The customer fills in account and mailing details and signs a declaration. Section 4 must be completed by a doctor of medicine, nurse practitioner, family nurse practitioner or physician assistant: yes or no for each device or need, name, office address, phone, license number and state, signature, and whether the need is permanent.

A doctor of medicine, nurse practitioner, family nurse practitioner or physician assistant licensed to practice medicine. The professional checks yes or no for each item, certifies the devices are required for the patient, and gives a license number and state. Applications without this signature are returned.
Yes. SMUD posts fillable English and Spanish versions of the application on its MED Rate page. Both have the same four steps, with section 4 on the back reserved for the qualified health professional, who must sign it before the customer mails it.
