1099-MISC

I am not self employed. I am retired and received a 1099-MISC from  my healthcare provider, Anthem. Whenever I try to enter the amount from box 6 on the 1099-MISC the system assumes that I am self employed. How do I get around this please?

Per the IRS, an entry in Box 6 for medical and health care payments is reported as income on Schedule C Profit or Loss from Business. See IRS instructions below.
