Any hospital service corporation organized pursuant to the laws of this State, in addition to other powers conferred upon it, shall be authorized and empowered to include in its contracts benefits not only for hospital services but also benefits for such other similar health care services and supplies or health care services or supplies other than the services of persons licensed to practice medicine or surgery as are approved for such inclusion by the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance.
The commissioner may disapprove any contract which makes provision for such health care services and supplies or health care services or supplies if it provides for a type of coverage or contains other provisions which he determines to be dissimilar health care services or unjust, unfair, inequitable, misleading, or contrary to law. All determinations of the commissioner under this section shall be subject to review by the Superior Court in a proceeding in lieu of a prerogative writ.
