What do I do if my Health Coverage information leads to contradictory answers?

In the year prior, I was covered by two separate, overlapping health coverage providers. In January through November, I was covered through Blue Cross/Blue Shield via my parent's job. This requires me to answer "No" to whether or not I was covered by a list of plans provided. However, starting in November, I began to receive coverage through Medicaid, so there was no gap in coverage- this means that I was covered the entire year. The issue is that Medicaid IS on the list of plans given when asked what type of coverage I received, which would require that I answer "Yes" to the same question. I am unsure of what to do here.

You need to say "no" to the question that your screen shot shows.

The program does not need any special information about Medicaid, so it may be easiest to just tell the program you were covered by employer insurance all year.
