Yes, the Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA) provides this 1095-B form to verify that you had "minimum essential coverage."   You do not need to file this form with your taxes (just keep it for your records; if you received a 1095-A, then you would need to file that).   The state will send this information  (your 1095-B) to the IRS electronically.   If you didn't receive your 1095-B form in the mail or need a copy, you can get it by: Log into your account at wahealthplanfinder.org. Go to your Message Center or look for the "View 1095 Forms" link on your dashboard. You can also call the Medical Assistance Customer Service Center at 1-800-562-3022 to request a copy. And finally, you can use the Apple Health contact form and select "1095-B" from the drop-down menu.
