Watch out
- Payment arrangements, secure messaging and account-specific outage status need a PSE account sign-in.
- PSE's rights and responsibilities PDF and claims form PDF use embedded fonts that automated text extraction reads poorly; the brochure carries the print code "6275 01/18" although the file name says 2025.
- The medical emergency certificate must come from the medical professional who provides the person's health care.
