Dependent Coverage
Definition of "Dependent coverage"
Coverage under life and health insurance policies for dependents of a named insured to include a spouse and unmarried children under a specified age. Under some life insurance policies an insured's spouse and dependent children, unmarried and under age 21, can be added at favorable rates. Health insurance policies cover the same dependent individuals at a far cheaper rate than the cost of separate policies for them.
