Health Coverage Providers – Reporting

Companies providing minimum essential health coverage for the calendar year must report an information return and a transmittal to the IRS. Mostly for this purpose transmittal Form 1094-B and information return Form 1095-B will be used. However, employers (including government employers) supporting self-insured group health plans will report about the coverage in Form 1095-C.

Employers having less than 50 full-time employees and who do not sponsor the employer shared provisions for health coverage, but do sponsor self-insured group health plans, should use Forms 1094-B and 1095-B to report coverage information about individuals.

As one of the striking features of CheckMark 1095 software – it is super easy to create as many employee entities in its database as you want at lightning fast speed.

Applicable Large Employers – Reporting

Additionally, to report the health coverage that the employers offer, ALE’s (Applicable Large Employers) sponsoring self-insured health plans are supposed to use the Forms 1094-C and Forms 1095-C for reporting about the coverage that they provide to their enrolled employees.
