Is this strong enough evidence of joint health coverage?

I have seen a few topics similar to this on here after a search, but some were pretty old and I haven’t been able to find my own situation exactly.

 

I have health insurance through my employer. Shortly after my hubbs and I were married in February this year, I added him to my policy. However,  our insurance cards only have my name, and I do not get monthly statements because it just comes out of my paycheck. I can show this, but it just says a line item of “Health”. The only thing I can find that shows his name is on the Blue Cross Blue Shield website, where there is a page that says who is covered. It doesn’t show any dates, but it does show that the plan is “Active” and that I am the enrollee, along with my contract number. My HR person did also email them yesterday asking if we could get a letter affirming our coverage and that hubbs has been enrolled since x date through me.

 

Will a screenshot of that webpage along with the letter be strong enough evidence to include with our I-130 packet?

Yes.   Evidence which shows both names together on the same policy is good......coverage dates are not important.

This is correct. As long as it shows both your names then you are fine.

our insurance cards only have my name

You should be able to request an insurance card with your husband's name from the insurance company.  Some make it easy to print a PDF insurance card online.  He will need this when he immigrates and needs health care so you may as well go ahead and request one now.  When I added my husband to my health insurance, a card in his name was automatically mailed to my address in the US.
