| 1095-B Tax Documents for Insured Group Customers |

| Although the IRS has extended the deadline for health plan carriers to issue 1095 tax documents, Capital BlueCross has started mailing these forms to our members. We expect to complete this work by February 28. |

If a member has set up a secure account on capbluecross.com, they can download and print their 2017 1095-B form after logging in. If you have not yet received your 1095 forms and are ready to file, consult with your tax and/or financial adviser.
Capital BlueCross cannot provide specific tax advice. Individuals or groups should contact their tax adviser with any tax-related questions. |
