Beneficiaries may choose any pharmacy that has agreed to participate according to the insurer’s terms, and insurers must accept any pharmacy that is willing and able to accept such terms. The statute affords a private cause of action for damages or injunctive relief in favor of any person or pharmacy aggrieved by the violation.

Link to Existing Law: N.C. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 58-51-37
