When you do not feel well or your child is sick, the last thing you want to do is leave the comfort of home to sit in a waiting room. Effective January 1, 2017, your UnitedHealthcare medical plan option will offer a new alternative: virtual visits. A virtual visit lets you see and talk to a doctor from your mobile device or computer without an appointment. Most visits take about 10 − 15 minutes. Use virtual visits when your doctor is not available, you become ill while traveling or you are considering visiting a hospital emergency room for a nonemergency condition. Visit www.myuhc.com to learn about virtual visits.
Nokia is committed to keeping the cost of your prescription drugs down while providing you with the coverage you need. With this goal in mind, Express Scripts uses a set of coverage management programs to determine how the Prescription Drug Program will cover certain prescription drugs.
Updates to the coverage management program were made as of July 1, 2016. Express Scripts will notify you if this program applies to you.
Effective January 1, 2017, the MetLife Enhanced and Standard Dental options will no longer exclude coverage for treatment related to a tooth that was missing prior to the date your coverage began. Services related to a missing tooth will still be subject to all other plan provisions of the applicable plan option.
Effective January 1, 2017, additional features of the MetLife Enhanced and Standard Dental options will change as shown below.
MetLife Enhanced Dental Option
MetLife Standard Dental Option
The frequency limit for fluoride treatment will increase to twice per calendar year.
New for 2017 Annual Open Enrollment and Beyond
Watch for these changes:
Effective January 1, 2017, for retirements occurring on or after that date, all eligible Nokia employees who have:
will have access to company-provided retiree healthcare (medical and dental) coverage upon becoming Medicare-eligible, provided the company continues to offer this benefit at that time. Access to company-provided retiree healthcare coverage means that the coverage is not subsidized by the company — it is entirely retiree-paid. However, the company maintains and administers the benefit plan.
This means that effective January 1, 2017, Nokia will no longer offer retiree medical and dental coverage to retirees who are not eligible for Medicare (except for Alcatel-Lucent retirees who retired before March 1, 1990) nor to such retirees’ dependents. With respect to
These changes will not affect you while you are an active employee but may affect you depending on your personal situation as follows:
Note: If you retire from Nokia before January 1, 2017 and are not Medicare-eligible, you and any dependent(s) will not be eligible for Nokia retiree medical and/or dental coverage as of January 1, 2017, regardless of the Medicare eligibility of your dependent(s). Any Nokia retiree medical or dental coverage in which you and your dependents are enrolled will end on December 31, 2016.
Effective January 1, 2017, you will see the following changes to your dependent life and accidental loss insurance coverage options:
*You may also purchase coverage for your eligible domestic partner.
Effective January 1, 2017, you will pay for any supplementary accidental loss, spouse accidental loss or child accidental loss insurance coverage you elect through after-tax payroll deductions. (You currently pay for this coverage with before-tax deductions.)
As a result of this change, you do not need to experience a qualified status change or wait until the next annual open enrollment period to change your coverage. Starting January 1, 2017, you may add, drop, increase or decrease any of these coverages anytime during the year.
Effective January 1, 2017:
Review the YBR website during the annual open enrollment period for your 2017 contribution costs.

It includes active employees; participants on a leave of absence (LOA) or Short Term Disability (STD); COBRA participants; and survivors in the Family Security Program (FSP).
