Under health insurance rules no. I have seen that in a divorce decree but that is a legal issue not an insurance one.

Can you purchase your own separate medical insurance if you don't like the one-and-only option offered by your husband's employer and can you each use either one or both simultaneously?
You can purchase your own medical insurance, its called and Individual policy and many insurance carriers sell them. With an individual medical policy, you have to qualify. (you don't have any significant medical problems or past medical history) Individual medical policys also have pre-existing clauses-- they can deny any/all medical services for a medical condition they determine began before your policy began. Pre-existing clauses are usually for the first 6 months. Most, not all insurance plans "coordinate benefits".

What is the definition of primary coverage in regard to medical insurance?
Often, a person will have "primary" insurance and "secondary" insurance. For example, if you have insurance through your job, and your husband has insurance through his job, then your primary insurance will be the one through your job, and your secondary insurance will be the one through your husband's job. Also, your husband's insurance through his job will be his primary, and yours through your job will be his secondary. There can be some exceptions to this though. For example, if you were married, had a child, then divorced and remarried (retaining custody of the child), and both your ex and current husbands have insurance through work, then the one who's birthday is first is considered the "primary" insurance, and the other is the "secondary" insurance. But there will still be a deductible with each one that has to be met before either one will pay.
