Kantavakuuttanut

Kantavakuuttanut is a Finnish term that translates to "insured by a parent" or "covered by a parent's insurance." It refers to a situation where a child, typically a minor, is included as a beneficiary or covered under their parent's insurance policy. This often applies to health insurance, where a child can be added to a parent's plan, or sometimes to other types of insurance like travel insurance or dental insurance. The primary purpose of kantavakuuttanut is to ensure that dependents have access to necessary coverage and services without needing to secure separate policies. The specific terms and conditions for being kantavakuuttanut depend on the insurance provider and the type of policy. It is common for children to remain kantavakuuttanut until they reach a certain age, often 18 or 21, or until they become eligible for their own insurance through employment or other means. This arrangement simplifies the insurance process for families and provides a safety net for younger individuals.
