Is there any way around the "Birthday Rule" the insurance companies us

Is there any way around the %26quot;Birthday Rule%26quot; the insurance companies use to determine primary coverage? The birthday rule is used to determine which plan is primary and which is secondary. Under this rule, the plan of the parent whose birthday occurs first in the calendar year is designated as primary. The date of birth is the determining factor-not the year-so it doesn%26#039;t matter which spouse is older.
