Unraveling The Process: A Guide To Obtaining Medical Insurance Proof

If you need proof of medical insurance, you can usually get it from your health plan provider. IRS Form 1095 is usually sent automatically to provide proof of health insurance for your taxes. No longer required on your federal tax returns, you may still get one of three types of tax forms, which show your health insurance information for the 2024 tax year.

Request a paper copy of IRS Form 1095 from your health plan provider

You can request a paper copy of IRS Form 1095 from your health plan provider. You no longer need to provide the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with a copy of Form 1095-B during tax season, but the form is available to you if you want it. Your health plan provider will send this information to the IRS electronically. If you want a copy of your Form 1095-B to keep with your tax or insurance records, you can get one from your health plan provider. You can also request a paper copy be mailed to you by calling Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) at (800) 252-8039 (TTY: 711).

Form 1095-B contains information to prove that you (and any of your covered dependents) had medical coverage for the last calendar year. Form 1095-A is for marketplace health insurance bought on HealthCare.gov or your state exchange, Form 1095-B is for plans you bought directly from an insurance company, health insurance through the government (Medicare, Medicaid or CHIP), or plans through your job if you work for a small business, and Form 1095-C is for job-based health insurance if you work for a large company.

You no longer need to prove you have health insurance on your federal tax returns. This change happened in 2019 when Congress ended the tax penalty for not having health insurance. You may still get one of three types of tax forms, which show your health insurance information for the 2024 tax year. The type of health insurance tax form you receive is based on how you obtained health insurance coverage. The insurance company may also send the paperwork directly to the state. Employers may send you tax form 1095-C to confirm that you participated in an employer health insurance plan. IRS Form 1095 is usually sent automatically to provide proof of health insurance for your taxes. The 1095 can help you calculate deductions and tax credits.
