Once you log into your SoonerCare account, you can print a copy from the letters section of your case. If you have no access to a printer or would like a form mailed to you, please contact the SoonerCare helpline Member Services unit at SoonerCare at 1-800-987-7767.

If OKDHS made your SoonerCare eligibility determination, then you will not have a mysoonercare.org account. Instead, you will need to call the SoonerCare helpline at 1-800-987-7767 to request the form be mailed to you.

For those who have Insure Oklahoma - Employer Sponsored Insurance (ESI), your insurance carrier (Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Coventry, etc.) is responsible for your 1095-B form and not OHCA. Please check with your insurance carrier or your employer regarding questions about your 1095-B form.

OHCA will Issue 1095-B forms to only those SoonerCare and Insure Oklahoma IP members who had insurance coverage types that meet the definition of Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC) as described in the Affordable Care Act (ACA). All of the following insurance coverage types - SoonerCare Choice, SoonerCare Traditional or Insure Oklahoma (IP or ESI), meet MEC requirements.

Not all of the insurance coverage types or services alone provided by OHCA meet MEC requirements. People who only had any of the coverage types listed below will not receive a 1095-B form as these coverage types do not meet the ACA’s definition of MEC:

Soon-To-Be Sooners (STBS or STBS-M)
SoonerPlan (family planning program)
Treatment of emergency medical conditions
Tuberculosis-related services
Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (DMHSAS)

1095-B Confidentiality and personal identity regulations

Please be aware that the federal Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA) prevents OHCA employees or their contracted staff to talk to anyone other than the case head regarding anything on a SoonerCare or Insure Oklahoma member’s case.

If you were not the case head on the day the 1095-B was generated, then you were not mailed a 1095-B form.
