A dental insurance unit of Health Care Service Corp. is expanding the group of people who are eligible to come to it for dependent coverage.
Dearborn National, Chicago, says group dental plan insureds now can buy dependent coverage from it for any children under age 26.
The new federal Affordable Care Act – the legislative package that includes the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act – will require health insurers to offer access to dependent health coverage to children under 26 starting in September.
