1099-HC Services
Blue Cross Blue of Massachusetts Will Mail 2010 1099-HC Forms to Subscribers by January 31, 2011
Massachusetts health care reform law requires most residents age 18 and older to have health coverage that meets minimum creditable coverage (MCC) standards set by the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority.
By January 31, 2011, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts will issue 2010 1099-HC forms to qualifying subscribers residing in Massachusetts who were enrolled in a Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts product at any time during the 2010 calendar year.
If a subscriber was insured through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts for all 12 months of the tax year, the "Full Year Coverage" box will be checked off. If a subscriber was insured through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts for fewer than 12 months, only those months that the subscriber or a dependent on the policy had fifteen (15) or more days of health insurance in a given month will have a check in the appropriate month's box. If a subscriber had health insurance through another carrier, they should receive a separate 1099-HC form from that carrier. If a subscriber has a health plan that does not meet MCC standards they will receive a 1099-HC form with the "no" box checked.
Individuals will be required to transcribe the information from their the 2010 1099-HC form to their annual state income tax filing statement, provided by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue (DOR). Any dependents who will be filing a separate 2010 state tax return will also need this information to complete their filing. The 2010 1099-HC may be photocopied. Subscribers do not need to contact Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts to request additional forms. Please refer to the 2010 Massachusetts DOR filing instructions or visit www.mass.gov/dor for specific instructions on how to transfer this information to the 2010 1099-HC form.
The following subscribers will not be receiving a 1099-HC form:
