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.
Enrollment and Disenrollment Are Not Solely Within the Control of Nokia, and Rely Heavily on Decisions Made by CMS
If you are Medicare-eligible, at any time during the year, you can disenroll from or switch between the UnitedHealthcare Group Medicare Advantage (PPO), Traditional Indemnity and Medicare HMO options offered by the Plan by calling the Nokia Benefits Resource Center at 1-888-232-4111. However, CMS approval is required. As a result, all elections and effective dates of coverage are driven by CMS. To determine which Medicare HMOs are available to you through the Plan, review the YBR website during the annual open enrollment period.
Important note: If you switch between these medical options during the year, any amounts that you have paid toward your prior option’s deductible and out-of-pocket maximum will not carry over to your new option. Your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum will start over when your coverage in your new option begins.
If you enroll in a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan outside of the Nokia plan, then you are making the choice to opt out of the Nokia plan’s prescription drug coverage. This means that all of the following apply:
*Including Long Term Disability (LTD) and COBRA participants and survivors in the Family Security Program (FSP).
