No, you are not required to claim them as a dependent on your return.

You are able to share a Marketplace policy with any of the following people who aren't on your taxes:

Someone with whom you share custody of a child
A former spouse
A person who now claims your child as a dependent on their taxes
A person you used to live and file taxes with
A parent or an adult child

When this occurs you must allocate the policy amounts. The allocation you choose depends on who you share your Marketplace policy with.
