Is There a Penalty for No Dental Coverage for Kids?
I work as a Dental Hygienist. Our family gets dental work as a benefit from my employer. Is there still a penalty for my children age 17 and 18? If so is this fine the same as someone that pays for no health coverage ? How is fine figures for just no dental coverage?
Answer
All private health plans that protect you from the fee include child dental and vision as a benefit, even if you already have it. You can reject dental or vision as a standalone, but won't avoid the fee by having just dental or vision.
