Try telling them to fax or email you a copy of it.
It's his pathology report and he should be able to have it.
Sometimes the doctors want to tell you what it is but then their staff sets up appointments to do it.
If you want to know ahead of time, they can have the doctor call with the results.
Mine used to set up appointments to review the information with me and then they would call me if it was good news and cancel the appointment.
I told my doctor that even if it's bad news, I want to know right away and not to wait for appointments. I told him he could even leave a voicemail with the results if I didn't answer the phone.
I did that knowing that is what I wanted. Not everyone is the same and some folks would rather be sitting across the desk from the doctor to get the results.
My most recent CT scan, I had the results before my doctor go them.
If your husband wants the info, then he can get it.
If your insurance has a problem with 2nd opinions (most don't) then change the approach to "seeing a specialist". Major bladder cancer centers are the "experts".
Best of luck.
