According to the chief medical officer for the American Lung Association, the only legitimate medical exemption is people who are on supplemental oxygen. Even patients with chronic lung disease can wear a non-N95 mask with no detrimental effects.

The CDC does recognize intellectual and developmental disabilities as legitimate medical exemptions, which I believe is the most common case we are seeing the US.
