Important Information About Blue Shield 1095-A Tax Form
We are writing to let you know that due to a system error, one or more of your Blue Shield of California customers received two different 1095-A forms from Covered California. The information in the first form they received was correct.
Unfortunately there was a technical problem which resulted in a second form being sent to them with the “VOID” box checked at the top. When the “VOID” box is checked, it means that the previous 1095-A form they received was sent in error and that they did not have health care coverage in 2015.
However, according to our records member(s) were covered by a Blue Shield of California health plan in 2015 and a corrected 1095-A form will be mailed by Covered California by the end of March 2016 stating that fact.
We will send a letter this week to member(s) explaining the situation and letting them know that they will receive a corrected 1095-A form shortly. They should use the information on the new form when filing their tax return and be sure to hold on to it as proof of health care coverage in 2015.
For more information or to determine which of member(s) have received multiple 1095-A forms, please contact Blue Shield’s Producer Services department at (800) 559-5905.
