Now that we are approaching the tenth year of ACA Reporting, Primepoint is here to help you
get a jump start on preparing for the 2024 ACA Season! We are excited to announce an
expansion of our filing capabilities to include filing 1095-B forms for smaller employers who are
self-insured (this includes NJSHB, HIF, SHIF, level-funded, etc.). This service is in addition to the
1095-C forms processing we have provided these past ten years.

filed electronically, which necessitates partnering with a third-party company, such as
Primepoint. The IRS does not provide an electronic filing option to the “public”.
Don’t miss out on this session! Our presenter will review what you should be doing now to
prepare for meeting the March 2, 2025 deadline to furnish the forms to your employees and
the March 31, 2025 filing deadline. We’ll also review how the Primepoint system’s Benefit
Management functionality can streamline the 1095 process, as well as many other employee
