US medical benefits contacts for former HPE employees Advice and reference info from members. (Updated Oct 26, 2019.) Questions or comments to: info@hpalumni.org First step: Which Company am I a retiree or former employee of? HP Inc or Hewlett Packard Enterprise? Given HP's complex history of acquisitions, divestitures, and spinoffs, the company that you are legally a former employee of may not be obvious. Before contacting one of the HP-related companies, check here: Which Company HPE retirees who are qualified for the "Pre-2003" retirement program -- which refers to the year when HP's US retiree medical program was redesigned to be much less generous -- not the year retired -- are legally retirees of HPE. However, because that population is relatively small, the associated trust fund was not broken out -- and HPE has paid HPI to administer medical benefits for those HPE retirees. Therefore, HPE retirees on the "Pre-2003" retirement program are administered by HPI's Benefits Center
Make sure that the company has your current mailing address. Even if not classified by the company as a "Retiree" or if long gone from the company. (For example, some may have missed out on wage-and-hour class-action settlements.) The company will only update payroll records. It is your responsibility to notify the Benefits Center, Fidelity, etc. -- and watch your subsequent paperwork to verify that changes have actually been made in every database. - Former employee: HPE official US External HR Support page [Page comes up very slowly.] Tabs: Address Change, Employment Verification, Payroll.

For future prices there are major unpredictable variables: changes in situation, rising cost of health coverage, and the overall limit on company contribution that was set in 2010 -- which is now becoming a significant factor.

Benefits Center: The "cosmic glue" for all US HPE
benefits issues.
If the first-level Benefits
Center phone agent can't resolve your issue, ask them to
escalate your call. Use the magic word "escalate." We get
very good reports from members who have escalated within the
Benefits Center. Benefits Center Advocacy Representatives. The Benefits Center has a special group that deals with medical carrier issues. Aon Retiree Health Exchange. (ARHE) ARHE is an insurance sales agency selected by HPE to market HPE-subsidized individual, standard open-market Medicare plans to HPE retirees. Alight Solutions operates the Benefits Center for HPE and administers the group plans. The agents from each company, understandably, have little knowledge of the other company's role or processes -- and only have information on the HP-subsidized plans available to you via their company. Work with each company to determine the best plan that they offer for your specific situation. Then you make the final choice. For details, see https://www.hpalumni.org/medicare (Step 4) If you elect to purchase an individual plan through ARHE, your benefits choice is indicated by the Benefits Center as "Aon Retiree Health Exchange $0.00." You pay directly for your coverage. At the start of the year, the company funds a Retiree Reimbursement Account administered by Alight Solutions. ARHE automatically submits claims to Aon Hewitt, which reimburses you via monthly direct deposit until the Reimbursement Account is exhausted for the year.

https://retiree.aon.com/hewlettpackardenterprise Escalate to the company via the HPAA: While the HPAA is an independent volunteer organization and is not officially endorsed or supported by HP Inc or Hewlett Packard Enterprise, we do have informal escalation paths into HP Inc Corporate and HPE Corporate to raise issues with the Benefits Center (outsourced to Alight Solutions -- formerly Aon Hewitt.) For the company-subsidized individual Medicare plans purchased through the Aon Retiree Health Exchange, we have an informal escalation path to that Aon subsidiary. https://www.hpalumni.org/escalate We do not have escalation paths for other areas -- such as HR, Payroll, or Retiree Discounts. |
