Medical assistance in dying (MAiD) PINs
Last updated on January 31, 2024Certain medications for medical assistance in dying (MAiD) are provided at no cost to B.C. residents enrolled in MSP.
MAiD prescriptions are covered under Plan Z and must be claimed using the MAiD-specific PINs. Each PIN identifies a drug, strength/concentration, and form. It will not identify a specific brand. Any brand of a drug can be dispensed under the PIN and will be paid up to the maximum price that is allowable for that PIN.
If you are unable to acquire a product that meets the specifications of the drug identified in the tables below, or if the price of the product you have exceeds the allowable maximum price, contact the PharmaNet HelpDesk.
Exceptional Plan Z coverage for MAiD is available to patients who are in the MSP coverage wait period or have recently moved to B.C. and have public health insurance in another Canadian province or territory. Read about Plan Z and the steps to get exceptional coverage of MAiD.
