Form 1094-B is a summary form that is filed with form 1095-B electronically or on paper. If a provider has more than 250 individuals, then they are required to file electronically.

Health insurance issuers and carriers must file form 1095-B for most health insurance coverage, including individual market coverage and insured coverage sponsored by employers.

What is the penalty for failure to file Form 1095-B?
If you fail to file correct information returns or fail to furnish a correct employee statement, you may be subject to a penalty. For 2015 reporting, the IRS will not impose a penalty for filing incorrect or incomplete information if the filer/employer has made a good faith effort to comply with the reporting requirements. However, employers that fail to file in a timely manner may still be eligible for penalty relief if the IRS determines that the standards for reasonable cause are satisfied.
