    Domestic Partner Coverage:

    Plan Sponsor/Plan Participant

    Plan participants working a minimum of 30 hours per week (not part time, temporary or substitute) are eligible plan participants:

    Under Health Care Reform law, the number of employees means the average number of employees employed
    by the company during the preceding calendar year. An employee is typically any person for which the
    company issues a W-2, regardless of full-time, part-time or seasonal status or whether or not they have
    medical coverage.
    To calculate the annual average, add all the monthly employee totals together, then divide by the number of
    months you were in business last year (usually 12 months). When calculating the average, consider all months
    of the previous calendar year regardless of whether you had coverage with us, had coverage with a previous
    carrier or were in business but did not offer coverage. Use the number of employees at the end of the month
    as the “monthly value” to calculate the year average. If you are a newly formed business, calculate your prior
    year average using only those months that you were in business. Use whole numbers only (no decimals,
    fractions or ranges).

    For purposes of determining your number of eligible employees, eligible employees are those who are eligible
    to enroll in any medical plan you offer, even if they aren’t eligible to enroll in a UnitedHealthcare plan. Here you
    may add COBRA and retirees.
    Calculate your number of eligible employees from the preceding calendar year: (1) Count the total number of
    eligible employees at the end of each month (2) Add all the monthly eligible totals from line (1) and divide
    by 12. Use whole numbers only (no decimals, fractions or ranges and round down).

    For purposes of determining your number of full-time equivalent employee count, the number of employees
    means the average number of employees employed full-time (at least 30 hours/week in any given month), by
    the company on business days during the preceding calendar year.
    In addition to the number of full-time employees noted above, for any month otherwise determined, include
    for such month the number of full-time employees divided by the aggregate number of hours of service of all
    employees who are not full-time employees for the month by 120. Employers should exclude employees who
    were seasonal workers who worked 120 days or fewer in the preceding calendar year.

    Waiting period waived for initial enrollees:

    Plan Participant termination date:

    Leave of Absence (LOA) Policy

    If the plan participant is on a Plan Sponsor approved leave of absence and the Plan Sponsor continues to pay required payments, the coverage will
    remain in force for: (1) No longer than 13 consecutive weeks for non-medical leaves (i.e., temporarily laid-off) and (2) No longer than 26 consecutive
    weeks for a medical leave. Coverage may be extended for a longer period of time, if required by federal rules such as COBRA.
    If the plan participant’s medical coverage terminates under this LOA policy, the plan participant may exercise the rights under any applicable
    continuation of coverage under federal law (COBRA) as described in the Summary Plan Description.

    Do you continue medical coverage during a leave of absence (not including state continuation or COBRA coverage)?
    , we continue medical coverage during an approved leave of absence for plan participants.
    , we do not offer medical coverage during a leave of absence.

    Does your current health insurer extend coverage for disabilities after termination date?
    (If yes, provide copy of policy and/or plan participant certificate.)

    Eligibility for Medical Coverage

    Under federal law, if your group had 20 or more employees during 20 or more calendar weeks in the preceding calendar
    year, the Health Plan is primary and Medicare is secondary. This statement does not set forth all rules governing group level
    Medicare status. The Group should contact its legal and/or tax advisor(s) for information regarding other rules that may impact
    the Group’s Medicare status. Under federal law, it is the Group’s responsibility to accurately determine its Medicare status.


    Do you currently utilize the services of a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) or Employee Leasing Company (ELC), Staff
    Leasing Company, HR Outsourcing Organization (HRO) or Administrative Services Organization (ASO)?

    Is your group a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) or Employee Leasing Company (ELC), or other such entity that is a
    co-employer with your client(s) or client-site employee(s)?

    If you answered Yes, then by signing this application you agree with the certification in this section. I hereby certify that my
    company is a PEO, ELC or other such entity and that only those employees who are the corporate employees of my company,
    and not my co-employees, are permitted to enroll in this group policy. If my group at any point after I sign this application
    determines that the group will provide coverage to the co-employees under the group’s plan, I understand that UnitedHealthcare
    will not cover the co-employees under this group policy.

    Does your group sponsor a plan that covers employees of more than one Plan Sponsor?

    If you answered Yes, then indicate which of the following most closely describes your plan:





    Do you have common ownership with any other businesses? If you own multiple companies, or a parent-subsidiary relationship
    exists between your company and another, this may indicate common ownership of businesses.

    the applicant’s most recent wage and tax payroll records. The applicant agrees to furnish UnitedHealthcare with all information and documentation which
    may be reasonably required with regard to eligibility for coverage.
    I understand that the information provided on this application and on the Plan Participant Enrollment Application Form is used to make decisions regarding
    eligibility and pricing. I also understand that misrepresentation, concealment or omission of fact, or a mistake of fact (whether or not a mutual mistake) by
    the Plan Sponsor, agent of the Plan Sponsor, Plan Participant covered under the Plan, could materially affect the underwriting, premium, rating or terms and
    conditions of the Plan Sponsor’s Excess Loss Coverage. In addition, such misrepresentation, concealment, omission of fact or a mistake of fact (whether or
    not a mutual mistake) could result in increased premium rates, attachment points and/or otherwise change the terms and conditions of the Plan Sponsor’s
    Excess Loss Insurance Policy retroactive to the effective date or as of any premium due date thereafter or termination of that Policy as of the next premium
    due date. I also understand that the Excess Loss Insurance Policy may be declared null and void in its inception if the Plan Sponsor, any agent of the Plan
    Sponsor, or Plan Participant covered under the Plan has willfully or intentionally misrepresented, concealed, omitted any material fact affecting terms,
    conditions, or underwriting of the Excess Loss Insurance Policy.
    I further certify that Plan Sponsor is a Plan Sponsor eligible to sponsor a group health plan under federal law known as ERISA. I also certify that the
    individuals covered under the Plan Sponsor’s group health plan are common law plan participants. United HealthCare Services, Inc. or its affiliates reserves
    the right to terminate the parties’ agreement in the event that information shows that the Plan Sponsor is not eligible to sponsor a group health plan.

    Coverage is not in effect until the undersigned receives written approval from United HealthCare Services, Inc.
    Final approval or disapproval is not
    taken on the Application until all required information in the Application and all required information for enrolling plan participants and their dependents is
    submitted and reviewed. No person other than an officer of United HealthCare Services, Inc. has the authority to bind or alter coverage, and the undersigned
    agrees that any such attempt by the agent is void and is not effective. The deposit amount will be returned to the Plan Sponsor if coverage is declined.
    United HealthCare Services, Inc. reserves the right to contact any plan participant at the place of business to complete the enrollment process. Any person
    who, knowingly and with intent to defraud any insurance company, submits an application or files a claim containing any materially false information may be
    guilty of insurance fraud, which is a crime, and may be subject to fines and confinement in prison.
