20-1410. Mail order prescription drugs;
prohibition
From and after September 30, 1990, no medical benefits contract on a group basis
delivered or issued for delivery in this state, whether issued by an insurance company, a
hospital service corporation, a medical service corporation or a health care services
organization, may require any person covered under the policy to purchase prescription
drugs exclusively from a mail order pharmacy as a condition of obtaining benefits for the
drugs. Under this section the receipt of a discount for a prescription drug off of a
mail order pharmacy's regular list price is not construed as a requirement to purchase
prescription drugs.
