Your Insurance

California’s End of Life Option Act (EOLOA) provides strong protections for you if you choose MAiD. We’ve listed a few common concerns below.

MAiD is not suicide, elder abuse, or homicide

The law is explicit: MAiD is not “suicide, assisted suicide, homicide, or elder abuse under the law.”

Insurance payouts cannot be affected by MAiD

The law requires that if you use MAiD your death is considered a natural death and the cause is the terminal disease that you were diagnosed with. Any life insurance policies you may have must comply with that natural cause in paying benefits to your estate.

MAiD cannot be included in a contract

Any contract that includes a provision requiring you to use MAiD or to not use MAiD is invalid. Also no insurance company or health care provider can issue a contract in which the price for the coverage is dependent on whether you do or do not use MAiD.
