Self funded employer insurance questions

My husband’s employer switched to a self funded plan (administered by UMR) back in May 2024. Today, the owner of the company called in the VP to discuss healthcare costs. The owner told his VP that a 37 year old male was costing the company a ton of money overall and around $40k in prescriptions. He then asked the VP how old he is because he’s close in age (38). The VP knows it’s my husband and is going to protect that information. Background info: my husband is on a biologic and was diagnosed with leukemia in July (Imatinib for treatment). I guess my question here is what can the company ask him regarding his health (I’m assuming nothing) and should he go ahead and document this incident in case it’s escalated further? Any additional info related to this situation is greatly appreciated.

Edit: company is located in Alabama and employs around 150 people total. My husband is a director, and basically under the VP.
