We have copies of HPInc Annual Enrollment documents for 2026 on the HP Alumni Association website...

Go through your Enrollment Guide very carefully -- and mark it up. The last pages cover important limitations. Even if you have a paper copy, download the current file and use Adobe Reader's search feature to find specific words or phrases (Ctrl-F, F3, or Command-F.)

Pre-2003. "For US retirees and covered family members participating in the Pre-2003 HP Retiree Medical Program or the former Digital Retiree Health Program"

[There are two HP retirement programs -- the "Pre-2003 HP Retiree Medical Program" and the current "HP Retiree Medical Program." "2003" refers to the year when HP implemented the program, not your retirement year. "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 ]
