Abstract: This document contains regulations relating to an information reporting requirement enacted by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111-148, and Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, Public Law 111-152. These regulations are necessary to impose the reporting requirement under section 1502 of the Affordable Care Act (section 6055 of the Internal Revenue Code) on health insurance issuers, employer-sponsored self-insured plans and government-sponsored programs that provide minimum essential coverage. The IRS developed Form 1095-B, Health Coverage, to report this information about individuals who are covered by minimum essential coverage. Form 1094-B, Transmittal of Health Coverage Information Returns, serves as a transmittal for Form 1095-B.
