The Affordable Care Act set reporting requirements related to minimum essential coverage. Individuals no longer have to show proof of health coverage, but insurers and employers are still required to report to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) about the coverage they provide or offer.

• The IRS doesn’t require insurers to automatically mail 1095-B/C forms to members, so we don’t mail forms to members unless students request a copy.
• Those forms are available on Blue Access for Members (BAM). Members can also call the number on their ID card to request a physical copy or visit the web page - TaxInfoTX.com
