The Massachusetts health care reform law requires most residents 18 and over with access to affordable health insurance to obtain it.

If you are covered under a parent's insurance, enter the information for their health insurance. 

If they do not expect to receive a 1099-HC (and don't have government-subsidized insurance, such as Medicare, MassHealth, or Tricare), complete the Massachusetts Health Insurance interview as follows:
Enter the insurance company name and the subscriber number, but leave the federal identification number blank. Check the box "I didn't receive a 1099-HC from this insurance company". You may see an error during the state review, which you can ignore.
