For groups with fully insured plans
Form 1095-B is a health insurance tax form required under the Affordable Care Act. This form reports the time period when plan members had minimum essential coverage during the prior tax year. If your group plan is fully insured, your employees will use this form to file their taxes.
What we'll be doing
Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska will be providing Form 1095-B to your employees, as required.
This form will be distributed to plan subscribers in January 2021 either through the mail or electronically. Plan subscribers who have signed up for electronic delivery will receive an email notification to retrieve the form from their online account once it’s available. Those who have signed up for electronic delivery will not receive a paper form in the mail.
