Can you designate one health insurance as primary and another secondary

Can you designate one health insurance as primary and another secondary?
I have health insurance through my wives work, and I am starting a new job that offers me health insurance. Can I carry my wives health insurance, and carry a secondary through my work? Or will the two companies fight over who should pay as primary and secondary?

It already is planned out depending on what the company is.

It is determined by where your birthdays fall with in the calendar year. For example, if your birthday is in March and your wife's is in June, your insurance would be primary (for both of you if you are both on both plans, also for your children) because your birthday is earlier in the year. The other would be secondary. If you google "insurance birthday rule" you will find some more information.
