Catnapper: I'm an insurance nurse. Tell your husband that he needs to do both. He should show documentation of his insurance and tell the hospital that he is seeking treatment as the result of an auto accident. The hospital might not be able to bill the other driver's insurance directly; that is something that might have to be sorted out as the claims are processed. I know it is aggravating but there is no good way to handle this type of thing. The more information he can provide upfront about the other driver's insurance, the better. Keep us posted (literally!). Thoughts, prayers and purrs from Illinois.
