  • Part I lists information about you and your employer.
  • Part II lists codes for each month to show if you were offered health benefits, if you enrolled in the offered coverage, and the lowest cost monthly premium for employee-only health coverage in your income tier. The back of the form lists what each code means.
    • WVU employees enrolled in PEIA will receive a second form from PEIA, called  Form 1095-B, which will list the enrolled policyholder and any enrolled dependents.
    • WVU Research Corporation employees enrolled in WV Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield will receive a second form from WV Highmark, called  Form 1095-B, which will list the enrolled policyholder and any enrolled dependents.

What do I do with the form? 
This form is for your information only and does not need to be filed with your tax return. You may wish to keep your 1095-C and your 1095-B (if applicable) with your income tax records.

What if I think my 1095-C is wrong? 
If you think your 1095-C is incorrect, contact Benefits Strategy at 304-293-8405.  

The premium listed in Box 15 of my 1095-C is not the premium that I pay for my coverage. Is this an error? 
Box 15 on your 1095-C lists the employee share of the lowest cost monthly premium for employee-only coverage offered to you as a WVU or WVU Research Corporation employee. The lowest cost insurance coverage offered to you that meets Affordable Care Act requirements will be listed in Box 15, regardless of whether you are enrolled in that plan. Your actual premium may vary from the amount listed in Box 15 depending on the plan you have chosen, any spouse or dependents you have enrolled, and any discounts that might apply to you.
