retiree enrollment milestones

All benefits-eligible retirees must enroll in Chevron retiree health benefits and/or the Retiree HRA Plan upon reaching certain enrollment milestones. You must also enroll your  eligible dependents at certain enrollment milestones. The enrollment milestones also provide rules about the changes you can make to pre-65 coverage during open enrollment. Read the enrollment milestones here.


research network providers

If you're enrolled in a Medical or Dental HMO Plan, you must visit a provider in the HMO's network, otherwise your services aren't covered (except for certain emergency situations). But for our other medical, dental, mental health and substance use disorder plans, you have the choice to use any provider you want, in the network or out-of-network. While you have a choice, you will save money when you use a network provider because there are different deductible, out-of-pocket amounts and copayment or coinsurance amounts for covered services depending on if you see a network or an out-of-network provider. We've consolidated the links and phone numbers you need to find or research a network provider here: Research network providers.

shopping tools on the benefitconnect website

During open enrollment, the BenefitConnect enrollment site provides will provide you with the option to enroll in one of three ways:

  • Fast Lane If you’re satisfied with your current 2023 coverage and your plans continue to be available, or you only need to adjust one or two elections, this shopping choice is a great way to quickly review all your 2024 plan coverage defaults and make adjustments if needed.

  • Shop on my own You'll walk through enrollment plan-by-plan, to make coverage decisions for each health and protect coverage option available. When you are on the medical and dental selection pages, look for the COMPARE PLANS checkbox (it's right above the Add to Cart button) to shop and compare medical and dental plan features in more detail.

  • Get Recommendations This option is similar to the Shop on my own tool, but you'll first answer several questions about how you use your health benefits and your opinion of the health status of each participant. These questions are only used by the tool to provide plan recommendations; your answers are not provided to Chevron, and they don't affect your premium amount or any other aspect of the plans' coverage.


summary of benefits and coverage (SBC)

SBC documents provide summary information such as benefits, copayments/coinsurance, and deductibles for your medical and mental health and substance use disorder plans.

Why these documents are useful: These documents share the same format and types of content, so it makes it easy to compare and contrast the features of the different plans available to you prior to enrollment. 



dependent verification process

You are required to verify the eligibility of any new pre-65 dependents you enroll in Chevron retiree health plans (if allowed) through the dependent verification process. This is a one-time process per dependent and applies to all health plans that require dependent verification.


prepare for dependent verification

You can prepare in advance of enrollment and preview the documents you’ll need to provide here. Please do not complete and return the sample forms posted here as they are for your reference only. If dependent verification applies to you, personalized forms and instructions will be provided to you when you enroll on the BenefitConnect website.


pay attention to the 60-day deadline

When you enroll your dependent(s) in Chevron health coverage for the first time, you will have up to 60 days to obtain and submit requested documentation that verifies your dependents are eligible to participate in Chevron’s health benefits. If you don’t provide acceptable documentation by the deadline, your dependents will be disenrolled from coverage.
