IMPORTANT HEALTH COVERAGE TAX DOCUMENTS
IRS Form 1095-B
In the past, the Maine Municipal Employees Health Trust sent all members annually a Form1095-B, as required under the Affordable Care Act. Form 1095-B provides information about coverage for each policyholder who was covered under a Health Trust health plan anytime in the prior year.
Individuals no longer need the information on Form 1095-B to file a federal income tax return, as the IRS does not assess a penalty for not having health coverage.
Health Trust members will no longer automatically receive a paper copy of the Affordable Care Act Form 1095-B. The Paperwork Burden Reduction Act, which was passed in December 2024, allows health insurance providers to furnish 1095-B tax forms (employee statements) only upon request.
If you would still like to obtain a paper copy of the Form 1095-B for plan year 2025, please email the Health Trust at [email protected]. Your request must include the subscriber’s name, member ID number and current mailing address.
You may also mail a written request to MMEHT, 60 Community Drive, Augusta, ME 04330. Please include your name, member ID number and current mailing address with your mailed request.
A Form 1095-B will be mailed to the address provided within 30 days of the date the request is received. If you have any questions about your Form 1095-B, you may contact the Health Trust at 1-800-452-8786.
