For fully insured group plans
Form 1095-B is a health insurance tax form required under the Affordable Care Act. This form reports the timeframe a member and their covered dependents had minimum essential coverage during the prior tax year.
Members who are part of a fully insured group plan use this form to file their taxes.
What we’ll be doing
Premera Blue Cross and Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska will be providing Form 1095-B to our members, as required.
This form will be distributed to members in January 2023 either through the mail or electronically. Members who sign up for electronic delivery will receive an email notification to retrieve the form from their online member account once it’s available. Those who sign up for electronic delivery will not receive a paper form in the mail.
This information will be communicated to employers later this month.
