Your available health coverage depends on the answers to two questions:
1. Which HP-related companies have me classified as a retiree or former employee? Due to acquisitions and spinoffs, this may not be obvious. Check here: Which Company
2. Do I qualify for the "Pre-2003" HP Retiree Medical Program? Depending on age, years of service, and other factors, you may qualify for the "Pre-2003 HP Retiree Medical Program" -- as opposed to the current "HP Retiree Medical Program." ("2003" refers to the year when HP implemented the program, not necessarily your year of retirement.) Details: hpalumni.org/Pre2003
Medicare. (Whether or not receiving benefits from HP or HPE.) If transitioning to Medicare soon, you have a lot of homework to do! One trap in Medicare could cost you for years. What to look for when comparing health plans. Company-subsidized Medicare benefits. How the Benefits Centers and Alight Retiree Health Solutions fit together. HPAA's Medicare Menu: hpalumni.org/medicare
Costs: Why HP group plan costs are going up. hpalumni.org/health-cost
Future of HPInc/HPE retiree healthcare: HP never made any explicit commitment to provide retiree healthcare in the entire history of the company. Of HPInc's many predecessor companies, only DEC had retiree healthcare. Prices paid by retirees will continue to rise due to the cap put in place in 2010. Details: hpalumni.org/health-future
Dental: Member advice on dental plans: hpalumni.org/Dental
If you decline HP/HPE medical coverage: Depending on your situation, you can lose the ability to re-enroll in HP/HPE coverage -- and your surviving dependents will not be eligible for HP/HPE coverage. See last pages of Enrollment Guide.
If you have a change, contact your HP or HPE Benefits Center ASAP -- or contact the insurance sales agency that you purchased from, such as Alight Retiree Health Solutions. "They couldn't do the surgery because his insurance had been terminated. It took a very long three-way phone call with the Benefits Center and [the carrier] to get his new coverage entered into the system."
We have Enrollment Guides for previous years back to 2015: https://www.hpalumni.org/EnrollmentGuides-Previous
