1095B Tax Forms
Health Coverage Tax Documents / IRS Form 1095-B
Historically, IRS Form 1095-B provided important tax information about a member’s health coverage that was required for filing a federal income tax return (e.g., Form 1040). However, several years ago, Congress reduced the federal individual penalty for not maintaining health coverage under the ACA to zero. More recently, Congress changed federal law to state that health insurance issuers are no longer required to mail copies of Form 1095-B to all members.
As a result, THP’s fully insured members will no longer automatically receive a paper copy of Form 1095-B in the mail. Any THP fully insured member who wants to receive a paper copy of Form 1095-B may follow the process set forth below to request a copy to be provided by mail.
Please note that THP does not generally produce Forms 1095-C for distribution to members enrolled in self-funded coverage (also known as ASO plans). If you are enrolled in an employer’s self-funded (ASO) group health plan, you should contact your employer/plan sponsor to inquire how to receive a copy of your Form 1095-C.
