Under Nokia Plan provisions, Medicare-eligible participants must be entitled to Medicare Part A and enrolled in Medicare Part B to receive benefits coverage through the Plan. When you are enrolled in Medicare Part B, you will pay a monthly premium cost for coverage and may also be required to pay a monthly contribution for the Nokia retiree healthcare coverage that you choose.
Medicare Part B offers medical benefits, such as doctor and ambulance services. You may become automatically enrolled in Medicare Part B if you receive Social Security benefits. Check with Medicare for information about your personal situation.

To determine which Medicare HMOs are available to you through the Plan, review the YBR website during the annual open enrollment period.
