No, parents can keep their kids on their health insurance plans until they are 26 years old.  This does not affect your status as a dependent, it does not determine whether or not they can claim you.  

If you are not otherwise their dependent you will simply need to say yes you were covered by health insurance when asked.  There will be nothing more for you to enter.
