Important Health Coverage Tax Documents
In prior tax years, you may have automatically received a copy of IRS Form 1095-B via postal mail. This form shows proof of your minimum essential health coverage for the most recent tax filing year. However, due to recent changes in federal law, Form 1095-B is no longer required to be mailed to individuals under IRS rules, except upon request. The IRS no longer requires you to include a copy of 1095-B with your annual federal tax return, but you are still entitled to request a copy for your records.
If you would like to receive a copy of your 1095-B showing your Plan coverage for the most recent tax filing year, you may request a copy by calling the phone number on the back of your health insurance ID card, emailing 1095BRequest@zenith-american.com, or sending a written request to the address below. A copy of your Form 1095-B will be mailed to you within 30 days of receiving your request.
Benefits Office
Attn: 1095-B Request

Oak Brook, IL 60523
Please note: A copy of your 1095-B will be made available on your Plan's member portal, which you can access by logging into your Participant Edge account here: https://edge.zenith-american.com
