Tip: Lots packed into an Enrollment Guide -- especially in the last pages. Go through your Enrollment Guide very carefully -- and mark it up. The last pages cover important limitations.


HP Inc   Enroll Oct 16 -- Nov 3, 2023.

"You must make corrections by December 15, 2023, at 6 p.m. Pacific Time (8 p.m. Central Time). After that date, you won’t be able to make changes for 2024 unless you experience a qualified status change and call the HP Inc Benefits Center within 60 days."

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. Refer to your Enrollment Guide -- especially the last pages: https://www.hpalumni.org/EnrollmentGuides.htm

There are two HP Retiree Medical programs:

- "HP Retiree Medical Program." (For most recent retirees.)

- "Pre-2003 HP Retiree Medical Program or Former Digital Program."  Depending on your age and history with HP and predecessors, you may qualify for either the former, current, or DEC retiree medical plan. (For the more-generous former plan -- confusingly named "Pre-2003" -- you must have been born on or before June 30, 1957 -- unless your were in certain EER cycles or otherwise notified.) See detailed rules in the Summary Plan Description: https://www.hpalumni.org/HPIncHealthSPD.pdf  If rules were misapplied or HP's records were in error, members have successfully appealed -- see page 40 of the SPD for the contact at Corporate.

You need to carefully study several documents:

1. Annual Enrollment Coverage Statement.
The personalized cover letter mailed with the printed Enrollment Guide. 
Not available on myhpbenefits.com due to outsourcer system limitations.
Lists any HP group plans available to you, with prices. Covers other important issues.
