Requires health insurance carriers to provide opportunity to clinical laboratory and laboratory services provider to participate as preferred or contracting provider in carriers' provider network.

This bill requires health insurance carriers in New Jersey to allow clinical laboratories and laboratory services providers to participate as preferred or contracting providers in their networks. Insurance companies must offer subscribers the option to choose these providers for prescription drugs and pharmacy services, and cannot deny participation based on the provider's structure or location if they meet licensing and registration requirements. The bill also ensures that copayments and other conditions are the same for both mail-service and non-mail-service pharmacies and laboratories. Finally, it establishes auditing procedures and prohibits discriminatory practices in network participation.
