I received a 1099 in error, it has my name but not my ssn, can I disregard?

I received a 1099-MISC from a health insurance company. It has my name and address on it, but not my ssn. I did not receive any income of any kind from this company. Can I disregard it?

You don't need to report it on your tax return If the form was issued in error and you received no income.  But it would be a good idea to contact the issuer (the number should be on the 1099) and find out why they have your name.  They may have sent you income that was lost or they may need to send that form to whoever's SSN is on the form.  

The issuer needs to correct it either way.  The IRS has the form, and since your name is on it, it is in your best interest to find out why.
