Legal Question in Family Law in New York

medical neglect

If the ex-husband is court ordered to provide his children with health insurance after the divorce but refuses to hand over their insurance cards to the mother whom the children reside with, would this be considered medical neglect since she is unable to bring them to the doctors as he has not even put the insurance on record anywhere?
