UnitedHealthcare is required to furnish Form 1095-B to responsible individuals and file reports with the IRS that are used to verify the accuracy of that information. To collect and validate this information, a letter was sent to Small Business fully insured employers beginning July 18, 2016 requesting them to confirm if they are a controlled group, association or Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangement (MEWA). The letter included a unique link to an online survey where the employer indicates whether or not they are an aggregate group. Data collected will be used to begin the set-up of the employer EINs in UnitedHealthcare systems. It is essential that UnitedHealthcare obtain this information now to begin the set-up and testing process.
