I agree with everyone else on here. The insurance agent should not have been able to tell your husband this. Usually I'm more frustrated about the HIPA requirements and think they are silly, but this is one example of when they actually are good. I would contact the insurance company and ask them about this, before they do this to someone else. My hubby asks me to take care of a lot of his medical insurance stuff for him, and I am frequently asked if my husband knows that I am calling them on his behalf.

And with regard to your husband, I agree, MEN!!!! They can be so frustrating. They just do not think. Mine is trained not to do things like that, but we've been married 33 years, and it took time and lots of patience to get him to this point.
