Submitted By: Tim Nance
Department: Member Services
Financial Impact and Cost/Benefit Considerations: No expenditure of Cooperative funds expected; expenditures of staff time estimated in amount of 0 hours (other than ordinary processing requirements)
Discussion
Two sections of the Tariff & Business Rules need updated language:
• Section 200.9.5. PEC currently has a Critical Care Registry for its members that use life-sustaining equipment powered by electricity. Members must meet qualifications to be placed on the registry. The Cooperative wishes to re-name the program as “Medical Necessity Program” to be consistent with existing practices.
• Section 200.16.1. PEC’s Pre-paid Payment Option does not generally require a paid deposit to enroll in the payment program. Any existing deposit on the member’s account is applied to the pre-paid account balance at enrollment in the Pre-paid Payment Option. The Cooperative wishes to retain a portion of any deposit to reduce debt during instances when the Cooperative may not disconnect including during extreme weather or on weekends.
