If you or anyone in your household enrolled in a health plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace in 2015, you should have received a Form 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace Statement, from the Marketplace. You will use the information on the form to claim the premium tax credit if you’re eligible, to reconcile advance payments of the premium tax credit, or both, when filing your tax return.

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.
