Can Parents Be Covered Under My Health Insurance? 
I believe the question is `` can you cover your parents on your health insurance policy ? '' The answer is no . Typically , the policy requires that covered family members be defined as a dependent of the policy holder . Parents do not meet that requirement . It would be best to purchase a separate policy on them . Consult with a local agent or broker in your area . As mentioned by others , if you are age 25 or younger , you can be covered on their health policy to age 26 .
