If you move to a public health insurance
exchange, you don't lose eligibility to return to HP/HPE coverage.
There are other circumstances where you can lose it...
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. Details:
https://www.hpalumni.org/reenroll-restrictions
Technically, you have 31 days to change if you lose coverage from an employer or other plan -- or have a status change
such as marriage, divorce, or transition to Medicare.
This is not unique to HPInc/HPE. A fundamental principle of health insurance is
that everyone continuously pays into the overall health
insurance system pool when they are
healthy. (For example, if you don't sign up for each of the
various Medicare elements when first eligible, you pay a
late enrollment penalty for years.)
If you have such a change, contact your
HP or HPE Benefits Center
ASAP -- or contact the insurance sales agency that you
bought the plan from, such as Alight Retiree Health
Solutions

times, called enrollment periods."
