Both companies should be telling your husband how much time he has to sign up for benefits at the new company and what events (including a new job) allows him to drop insurance from the old one as well as the timing for him to actually drop the coverage. Companie's also have different rules as the when coverage starts and ends so you will need to take that in account too.
If neither employer is helpful, give Blue Cross a call.
