North Carolina Individual Dental Insurance for Children.
Question: I would like to get a dental insurance plan for just my daughter. My question is can a minor have their own dental insurance plan without a parent being listed on the plan ? I have to get dental insurance for my ten year old daughter who lives with her mom in a different state. I only want to get dental insurance for my daughter since I am not required to do so for my X. However she seems to think this can not be done.
Answer: It would depend on the dental insurance plan and their own terms and conditions. Many dental insurance plans however will require a least one adult listed on the plan forcing you into buying a couple plan (An adult with a dependent child).
However if you are having to do it this way I suggest listing yourself as the adult. Even if you live in a different state. You can do this in most cases, by choosing a dental insurance plan that is in both states.
