Received a 1095-C Tax Form? Here’s What You Need to Know

February 1, 2018 by Leave a comment

All applicable large employers are required to send a 1095-C tax form to employees eligible for health care benefits in 2017. The 1095-C informs employees what their employer reports to the Internal Revenue Service regarding their health care benefits and if the benefits met Affordable Care Act standards. No action is needed. The form is not required for filing income tax returns. Simply keep the form with your other tax documents. If you did not meet the eligibility requirements for health insurance benefits or were not enrolled in health coverage during 2017, you will not receive the form. Questions: Read the FAQs, visit the ACA website or call the Benefits Contact Center at 508-334-8511.

Consider the details below when you schedule your mammogram with UMass Memorial Health Care:

  • UMass Memorial Health Care offers 10 convenient mammography locations.
  • Several of our sites feature 3-D mammography, a screening option for women with dense breasts.
