Will I receive a 1095-B IRS tax form for my Medica health coverage?
Health coverage information is no longer required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to file a federal income tax return. As a result, most fully insured Medica members will no longer automatically receive a paper copy of the 1095-B form. If you'd like a 1095-B form for your records, contact Member Services at the number on the back of your Medica ID, use the Contact Form on Medica.com or email us at [email protected].
If you live in a state with laws that require coverage reporting (California, Washington, D.C., New Jersey, or Rhode Island), you will continue to receive a paper copy of the 1095-B form for state filing tax purposes.
