Common use of CRITICAL CARE AND CHRONIC CONDITION CUSTOMERS Clause in Contracts

CRITICAL CARE AND CHRONIC CONDITION CUSTOMERS. If Customer has a person permanently residing at a location served by an ESI ID who has been diagnosed by a physician as being dependent upon an electric-powered medical device to sustain life (“Critical Care Customer”) or has a serious medical condition that requires an electric powered device or electric heating or cooling to prevent the impairment of a major life function through a significant deterioration or exacerbation of the condition (“Chronic Condition Customer”), Customer may apply for designation as a Critical Care Residential Customer or Chronic Condition Customer. To be considered for such a designation, Customer must submit the PUCT approved form by facsimile or other electronic means to the applicable TDU and to Company. The TDU will notify Customer and Company of the final determination of whether Customer has been designated as Critical Care Customer or a Chronic Condition Customer and whether Customer will receive a renewal notice of Customer’s status as either a Critical Care Customer or Chronic Care Customer. The applicable PUCT Rule is available at: xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxxxx.xxx/agency/rulesnlaws/subrules/electric/25.497/25.497.pdf. Designation as a Critical Care Customer or a Chronic Condition Customer does not relieve Customer of the obligation to pay for Services provided under this Agreement.
