The HP/HPE Alumni Association an independent volunteer organization. We have an informal escalation path into Alight Retiree Health Solutions (AlightRHS) management -- which works very well.

You send the HPAA an email, which we forward to one of our contacts.

They have asked us for feedback in order to improve their processes and the supervision of their agents.

Reporting your issue -- even if resolved -- will help prevent problems for other folks. Thanks!


Steps to follow

If a specific insurance company or provider is involved, call their phone center first. If the first-level phone agent can't help you, ask to escalate your problem. Use the magic word "escalate."

Note: We are dealing with two separate "Alight" companies. Alight Retiree Health Solutions "AlightRHS" (retiree.alight.com) is a nationwide insurance sales agency. Alight Benefits Administration (worklife.alight.com) -- is the operator of the HPInc and HPE Benefits Centers.

The only connection between the two companies is via files that are electronically forwarded from the HPInc and HPE Benefits Centers to AlightRHS. Contact your Benefits Center if there are problems with the subsidy. https://www.hpalumni.org/BenefitsCenter
