More details to this question:
My ex and I have not filed for divorce yet. He says he is going to serve me with divorce paperwork and in it he is requiring primary custody so that he can provide our daughter with medical insurance through his work. Up until this point, we had decided on Joint custody.

Short version: "no." It would appear that someone involved is misrepresenting. Of course, insurance companies have all kinds of weird restrictions in their policies, but for decades recalcitrant insurers, even across state lines, could be ordered to provide coverage under QMCSOs, if necessary.You should not adapt custody to the vagaries of an insurance policy; you should probably consult with a family law specialist.
