UC SHIP’s enrollment administrator, Academic HealthPlans (AHP), may contact you via email to get important information that is not on file with the registrar’s office. You can also email AHP to provide the requested information.
For proof of coverage, all UC SHIP members can electronically access their IRS Form 1095-B — the form that proves you have the minimum essential coverage required by the ACA. To access your 1095-B, follow the instructions in the 1095 User Guide [PDF].
Below is an example of the email you might recieve from AHP, please reach out to them with any questions.
Dear UC SHIP Member,
We’re writing to you because we need to get some information that’s required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). You are getting this email because we do not have your and/or your dependent(s) Social Security Numbers or Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN). Under the law, we must ask for that information and provide it to the IRS.
What we need you to do:
UC SHIP has engaged Academic HealthPlans (AHP) to collect missing Social Security Numbers or Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN) from our members.
