My daughter and I are dependents on my husband's insurance, do we get our own ID cards? or just use his at the doctors?

Pretty self explanatory question, I used to have our daughter under my own insurance and we both had separate ID cards and member numbers. She has an upcoming appointment in a few weeks and I tried to order a card online, but it would only give my husband's card and then in a separate box show that we are dependents. Do I just present his card at the doctor's office, or is there a way to get our own cards.
