This is patently false. You only contact your insurance company when you're at fault or if you're in the situation described here. The right call was made to contact the company insuring the at-fault vehicle. There is no reason, other than failure to pay by the at-fault driver's company, to initiate a process which often times results in litigation or, at the very least, too much back and forth between the two companies. This raises costs and I'm sure we can all agree we pay too much for insurance as it is.
