An Important Message for Blue Cross Blue Shield Subscribers Residing in Massachusetts

By January 31, 2012, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts will issue 2011 1099-HC forms to subscribers residing in Massachusetts who were enrolled at any time during the 2011 calendar year.

When you receive yours in the mail, hold on to it! Due to Massachusetts Health Care Reform laws that require residents over the age of 18 to prove their health care coverage, you and your covered dependents will need a 1099-HC form to complete your state income tax returns.

For questions please call member services at 888-543-8770, or refer to the Blue Cross site, http://www.bluecrossma.com and do a search in the upper right-hand corner for “1099-HC”.
