This is the Response from Kaiser:
*** Start of transmission *****************************************
Dear Paul X,
Thank you for contacting Kaiser Permanente.
We are pleased to inform that you are the subscriber of the FEHB
(Federal Employee Health Benefits) plan with your Medicare entitlements
for Parts A, B, and D assigned through the employer to Kaiser
Permanente.
Simply put, your insurance is Medicare that has been sent through your
former employer to Kaiser Permanente the carrier. From the time your
Medicare insurance was activated on 5/1/2020, you no longer were sent a
1095-B tax form. With Medicare, which is insurance directly from the
federal government, this tax form is not required to file your taxes
with the federal government through the IRS. They are already aware that
they provide the entitlements.
If you were on an employer plan without Medicare, we would send the
1095-B for to you. The 1095-A form is only for those who have enrolled
through the state Health Insurance Marketplace or Connect for Health
Colorado. You are not enrolled this way but through an employer
Per the search for '1095' on the website of medicare.gov, it says, 'If
you have Part A, you can ask Medicare to send you an IRS Form 1095-B. In
general, you don't need this form to file your federal taxes.' Should
you still desire a copy of the1095-B tax form, you may request it
directly from Medicare by calling: 1-800-633-427.
