Plan design and rates for 2026
HPE conducted its annual review of the plan to ensure it remains competitive from a design and cost sharing perspective.
The overall benefits plan design remains the same for next year. While our rates remain competitive, we continue to experience medical inflation within the plan due to rising health care costs, however HPE is absorbing most of these inflationary increases. The cost for the long-term disability coverage is increasing slightly.
Your individual costs depend on the options you choose and the number of people you cover. You can model costs and changes to your benefits selection during Annual Enrollment in the HPE Benefits Enrollment Tool.
Beneficiaries – During annual enrollment, take the time to review your beneficiary designations and update if needed. Beneficiary designations are made directly on the enrollment site and no paper forms are required.
