It depends on the type of policy and how it's written. If the plan document states that only spouses or legal domestic partners can be added as dependants on the policy, then that is how it is. If you want to get your fiance covered, then why not register as legal domestic partners until the wedding?

If I am not mistaken, NJ law on this has just changed recently but I haven't had a chance to look up the new regs yet. Will do so when I get a chance.

NJ now recognizes civil unions, but it is only for same sex couples.

OP: Insurance is discriminatory by nature. They are not required to allow you to put someone who is not related to you on your policy.

Alternately, you can "get married" at the courthouse whenever you want, no reason to wait for the big wedding to make it official. Several people I know have done this, gotten legally married for insurance and tax purposes while planning the Big Wedding, and it worked out well and didn't seem to be much of a big deal to them.
