For 2026, HPInc and HPE changed how retiree health coverage is provided. The necessary changes cannot be made automatically. https://www.hpalumni.org/enroll-tips-traps

This year especially, for deadlines and details you need to study your Enrollment documents.

Note: If you currently have a policy purchased with an HPInc subsidy from Alight, you did not receive an Enrollment Guide in the mail -- because you have already made the transition from group to individual Medicare coverage. We suggest you download and look at it anyhow.

Important limitations, such as re-enrollment rules and dependent coverage, are covered in various places: footnotes, in the text, or in the last pages of an Enrollment Guide -- or in Confirmation Statements or other letters. Even if you have a paper copy, download the document file and use Adobe Reader's search feature to find specific words or phrases (Ctrl-F, F3, or Command-F.)

* Pre-2003. There are two HP retirement medical programs -- the "Pre-2003 HP Retiree Medical Program" and the current "HP Retiree Medical Program." Note: "Pre-2003" refers to the year when HP implemented the program, not your retirement year. HP: "May apply if you retired from HP before 2003, or if you were with HP on December 31, 2002, and retired at a later date with eligibility for the program (this typically meant retiring at age 55 or later with at least 15 years of qualifying service, having at least 62 age-plus-service "points" as of December 31, 2005, and being within five years of qualifying as of June 30, 2007). This program generally does not apply if you joined HP through the Compaq or EDS acquisitions." Details: https://www.hpalumni.org/Pre2003.
