Check more with the insurer as they are likely confused. Your marriage to your husband, with most insurers, is enough. A guardianship of an adult is not likely to be possible, as that implies a lack of legal capacity on your daughter's part. Georgia does allow adult adoptions, but frankly, check with the insurer as I think they are likely violating their own rules.
I am not sure why the insurance company would not include a stepchild as a dependent for purposes of coverage. It is done all the time. I would request obtaining a copy of the policy to see why your daughter is being denied. If you are not sure, I would suggest having the policy reviewed by an attorney.
