HP/HPE Medicare: Troubleshooting and contacts. If receiving benefits subsidized by HP or HPE.

UHC group Medicare Advantage PPO plan. In early 2018, acceptance issues were reported to HPAA by a few members -- but not since then.
- The Enrollment Guide hedges on this point: "...you can see doctors in or out of the UHC network as long as the provider participates in Medicare and accepts the plan." (page 6)
- Upon request for clarification, HP Inc Corporate Benefits sent HPAA a more explicit Question? Email us: "A national plan offering full flexibility to its members. This plan is not a network-based plan. HP retirees can see any provider who accepts Medicare and the UHC PPO plan. If a provider indicates they accept Medicare but do not accept the UnitedHealthcare Group Medicare Advantage (PPO) plan, the participant should call UHC at 1-877-456-7240, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m., local time, Monday through Friday. TTY users, call 711. The provider and UHC can connect to explore having the provider accept the UHC plan."

Medicare Prescription Coverage Letters sent by UHC

If you have a problem with a plan, contact the insurance agency you purchased from -- Alight Retiree Health Solutions. If the first-level person can't resolve your issue, they can escalate it to a special group within the agency. (HP/HPE is out of the picture, except for providing the subsidy.) Contact the Benefits Center if there are problems with the subsidy. Medicare troubleshooting and contacts
