Form 1095-C
Beginning with 2015, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) regulations require large employers, like the University of 51视频, to report certain health care coverage information to full-time employees and to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Each year, the University will mail a Form 1095-C, which contains information about whether or not the University of 51视频 offered health care coverage to you and your dependents the previous year. In addition, the form indicates months that you were enrolled in coverage and names the dependents listed on your coverage in Part III. For those staff and faculty who opt-out of the University’s health care coverage, the 1095-C will indicate that coverage was offered but not selected.
Please review the information you will receive each year from the University and report any discrepancies to Human Resources.
You should keep this information with your tax records. If you would like general information questions about the IRS 1095 form and how it will be useful for some individuals, we have included the link from the IRS page for your reference.

Health Plan Transparency in Coverage
In 2020, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Labor, and the Department of the Treasury (the Departments), released the Transparency in Coverage final rule to improve health plan price transparency.
Health plan price transparency helps consumers know the cost of a covered item or service before receiving care.
Beginning July 1, 2022, group health plans will begin posting pricing information for covered items and services to help consumers better understand the costs associated with their health care.
On that date, health plans must make publicly available machine-readable files in a standardized format, which will be updated monthly and include In-Network Negotiated rates and Out-of-Network Allowed Amounts. In the future, In-Network Prescription Drugs files will also be available.
In compliance with the final rule, Highmark is preparing to provide these files effective July 1, 2022. To access the files, please follow the link:
At this time, per the guidelines, the above link provides for a machine-readable file and not a consumer download. Highmark encourages members seeking cost information to utilize the cost estimator tool available at .
Questions regarding these files or Transparency Mandates may be directed to the Office of Human Resources. Access the CMS Government website by following the link:
