No matter what your circumstances, an extended hospital stay can create a host of difficulties in your life, including a temporary strain on your budget. That's' why we created Get Well First, a special program that allows you to extend the due date on your utility bill payment during your hospital stay. That way, you can put first things first — and concentrate on restoring your good health.

Who's eligible?

If you're a customer of O&R, Rockland Electric Company or PCL&P, and you're hospitalized for a minimum of 10 days, Get Well First may help you qualify for a 30-day extension on your utility payment due date.

What if I have to stay in the hospital longer?

If you need additional time to pay your bill after the 30-day extension, please call Customer Assistance and we'll help work out an agreement for paying your bill.

How do I apply for Get Well First?

Simply contact Customer Assistance.

What should I do when I'm released from the hospital?

If you're able to pay your bill in full within the original 30-day extension period granted to you, you're not required to do anything.

However, if you're still experiencing difficulties, contact Customer Assistance so you can set up a payment schedule.
