SG.ER.17.CA 4/17
Important Information
I understand that the Evidence of Coverage, Certificate of Coverage or Summary Plan Description, and other documents, notices and
communications regarding the coverage indicated on this application, herein referred to as “Disclosure Materials,” will be transmitted
electronically to the Group/Company.
I acknowledge and affirmatively agree, on behalf of the Group/Company, to provide the applicable Disclosure Materials provided by
UnitedHealthcare and Affiliates that contain information regarding benefits, services, exclusions, limitations and terms of the enrollee’s
health care coverage in electronic form and/or hard copy to enrolled members in accordance with California and federal laws, so as to
afford the enrollee full and fair disclosure.
I represent that, to the best of my knowledge, the information I have provided in this application – including information regarding
qualified beneficiaries and dependents who have elected continuation under COBRA or state continuation laws – is accurate and
truthful. I understand that UnitedHealthcare and Affiliates will rely on the information I provide in determining eligibility for
coverage, setting premium rates, and other purposes. If UnitedHealthcare can demonstrate you committed an act or practice
that constituted fraud or an intentional misrepresentation of a material fact, it may result in rescission of the group/company
policy/agreement, termination of coverage, or increase in premiums retroactive to the original effective date of the agreement/
policy. UnitedHealthcare will issue a written notice via regular certified mail at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the
rescission explaining the basis for the decision of rescission and your appeal rights. After 24 months following the issuance of
the agreement/policy, UnitedHealthcare will not rescind the agreement/policy for any reason, and will not cancel the agreement/
policy, limit any of the provisions of the agreement/policy, or increase premiums on the agreement/policy due to any omissions,
misrepresentations or inaccuracies in the application form, whether willful or not. Group/Company will receive any notices for failure
to pay and/or termination in writing. In accordance with the Group Subscriber Agreement/Policy, Group is delegated to provide notice
of termination to each subscriber/insured person at the subscriber’s/insured person’s current address. For nonpayment of premiums,
UnitedHealthcare and Affiliates will send a notice of termination with appeal rights directly to the member.
The falsity of any statement in the application for any Policy/Group Subscriber Agreement shall not bar the right to recovery under the
Policy/Group Subscriber Agreement unless such false statement was made with actual intent to deceive or unless it materially affected
either the acceptance of the risk or the hazard assumed by the insurer/health care service plan.
UnitedHealthcare disclosure regarding producer compensation: In some instances, we pay brokers and agents (referred to collectively
as “producers”) compensation for their services in connection with the sale of our products, in compliance with applicable law. In certain
states, we pay “base commissions” based on factors such as product type, amount of premium, group size and number of employees.
These commissions, if applicable, are reflected in the premium rate. In addition, we may pay bonuses pursuant to programs established to
encourage the introduction of new products and provide incentives to achieve production targets, persistency levels, growth goals or other
objectives. Bonus expenses are not directly reflected in the premium rate but are included as part of the general administrative expenses.
Please note, we also make payments from time to time to producers for services other than those relating to the sale of policies/agreements
(for example, compensation for services as a general agent or as a consultant).
Producer compensation may be subject to disclosure on Schedule A of the ERISA Form 5500 for customers governed by ERISA. We
provide Schedule A reports to our customers as required by applicable federal law.
For specific information about the compensation payable with respect to your particular policy/agreement, please contact your producer.
