About this file

This is a UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company group health insurance policy issued to the Public School Retirement System, effective January 1, 2026, with Group Number 909206, establishing coverage for active and retired employees in Missouri. The policy provides medical and prescription drug benefits through multiple plan options, including UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus Plans with varying deductible levels and rider options. Coverage classifications include subscriber only, subscriber with spouse, subscriber with children, and family plans, with distinct premium rates established for each classification across four employee classes: active employees in base and buy-up plans, and retirees over and under age 65 with various Medicare coverage combinations. The policy operates under Missouri law and ERISA regulations, with a minimum participation requirement of 75% of eligible persons (excluding spousal waivers) and a minimum contribution requirement of 100% of premiums by the employer. Monthly premiums for active employees range from $859.38 for subscriber-only coverage to $2,143.51 for family coverage, while retiree rates vary significantly based on Medicare eligibility status, with base plan rates ranging from $0.02 to $1,856.30 monthly.

The policy includes standard insurance provisions including a 31-day grace period for late premium payments, retroactive adjustments for enrollment changes within 90 days of notification, and automatic termination provisions for non-payment, fraud, or material misrepresentation. The Public School Retirement System is responsible for enrollment management, coverage classification changes, timely premium payments, and COBRA compliance administration. Additional benefits include an Advocate4Me consumer support program providing expert advocates, integrated financial support, and elevated issue resolution, plus a wellness stipend of up to $100,000 annually for health risk awareness and behavior change initiatives. The policy is renewable annually with 31 days' notice for rate changes, and the insurer reserves the right to modify premium rates subject to applicable state law and regulatory requirements. Coverage continues through continuation under COBRA and state law requirements, with the Missouri Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association providing protection of up to $500,000 in health benefit plan coverage.

185 Asylum Street

Hartford, Connecticut 06103-0450

877-294-1429

This Policy is entered into by UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company and the "Group," as described in Exhibit 1.

When used in this document, the words "we," "us," and "our" refer to UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company.

Upon our receipt of the signed Group Application and payment of the first Policy Charge, this Policy is executed. The Group's Application is made a part of this Policy.

We agree to provide Benefits for Covered Health Care Services stated in this Policy, including the attached Certificate(s) of Coverage and Schedule(s) of Benefits, subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions, and limitations of this Policy. This Policy replaces and overrules any previous agreements relating to Benefits for Covered Health Care Services between the Group and us. The terms and conditions of this Policy will in turn be overruled by those of any future agreements relating to Benefits for Covered Health Care Services between the Group and us.

We are not an employer or plan administrator for any purpose with respect to the administration or provision of benefits under the Group's benefit plan. We are not responsible for fulfilling any duties or obligations of an employer or plan administrator with respect to the Group's benefit plan.

This Policy is effective on the date shown in Exhibit 1 and continues in force by the timely payment of the required Policy Charges when due, subject to the end of this Policy as provided in Article 5.

When this Policy ends, as described in Article 5, this Policy and all Benefits under this Policy will end at 12:00 midnight on the date the Policy ends.

This Policy is issued as described in Exhibit 1.

Issued By:

UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company

Robert Hunter, President

POL24.I.2018.LG.MO 2

Article 1: Glossary of Defined Terms The terms used in this Policy have the same meanings as those defined in Section 9: Defined Terms in the attached Certificate(s) of Coverage. In addition, the following terms apply:

Coverage Classification - one of the categories of coverage described in Exhibit 2 for rating purposes (for example: Subscriber only, Subscriber and spouse, Subscriber and children, Subscriber and family).

Material Misrepresentation - any oral or written communication or conduct, or combination of communication and conduct, that is untrue and is intended to create a misleading impression in the mind of another person. A misrepresentation is material if a reasonable person would attach importance to it in making a decision or determining a course of action, including but not limited to, the issuance of a policy or coverage under a policy, calculation of rates, or payment of a claim.

Article 2: Benefits Subscribers and their Enrolled Dependents are entitled to Benefits for Covered Health Care Services subject to the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions stated in the Certificate(s) of Coverage and Schedule(s) of Benefits attached to this Policy. Each Certificate of Coverage and Schedule of Benefits, including any Riders and Amendments, describes the Covered Health Care Services, required Co-payments, and the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions related to coverage.

Article 3: Premium Rates and Policy Charge

3.1 Premiums

Monthly Premiums payable by or on behalf of Covered Persons are shown in the Schedule of Premium Rates in Exhibit 2 of this Policy or in any attached Notice of Change.

We have the right to change the Schedule of Premium Rates as described in Exhibit 1 of this Policy. We also have the right to change the Schedule of Premium Rates at any time if the Schedule of Premium Rates was based upon a Material Misrepresentation relating to health status that resulted in the Premium rates being lower than they would have been if the Material Misrepresentation had not been made. We have the right to change the Schedule of Premium Rates for this reason retroactive to the effective date of the Schedule of Premium Rates that was based on the Material Misrepresentation.

3.2 How Is the Policy Charge Calculated?

The Policy Charge will be calculated based on the number of Subscribers in each Coverage Classification that we show in our records at the time of calculation. The Policy Charge will be calculated using the Premium rates in effect at that time. Exhibit 1 describes the way in which the Policy Charge is calculated.

The Group is solely responsible for enrollment and Coverage Classification changes (including the end of a Covered Person's coverage) and for the timely payment of the Policy Charges.

3.3 When Is the Policy Charge Adjusted?

We may make retroactive adjustments for any additions or terminations of Subscribers or changes in Coverage Classification that are not reflected in our records at the time we calculate the Policy Charge.

We will not grant retroactive credit for any change happening more than 90 days prior to the date we received notification of the change from the Group. We also will not grant retroactive credit for any calendar month in which a Subscriber has received Benefits.

The Group must notify us in writing, through our electronic systems, or by other methods as determined by us within 60 days of the effective date of enrollments, terminations, or other changes. The Group must notify us in writing, through our electronic systems, or by other methods as determined by us each month of any change in the Coverage Classification for any Subscriber.

POL24.I.2018.LG.MO 3

If premium taxes, guarantee or uninsured fund assessments, or other governmental charges relating to or calculated in regard to Premium are either imposed or increased, those charges will be added to the Premium at that time. In addition, any change in law or regulation that affects our cost of operation may result in an increase in Premium in an amount we determine.

3.4 How Is the Policy Charge Paid?

The Policy Charge is payable to us in advance by the Group as described under "Payment of the Policy Charge" in Exhibit 1. The Group agrees to remit to us the Policy Charge due which is based on our enrollment records as provided by the Group at the time the invoice for the Policy Charge is issued. The first Policy Charge is due and payable on or before the effective date of this Policy. Future Policy Charges are due and payable no later than the first day of each payment period shown in item 6 of Exhibit 1, while this Policy is in force. If the Policy Charge remains unpaid, the Policy will end as described below under

5.1 When Does the Policy End?

All payments shall be made in United States currency, in immediately available funds, and shall be sent to us at the address on the invoice, or at another address that we may designate in writing. The Group agrees not to send us payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language. In the event that the Group sends such a payment, we may accept it without losing any of our rights under this Policy and the Group will remain obligated to pay any and all amounts owed to us.

Late payment charges are assessed for any Policy Charge not received within 10 calendar days following the due date. There will be a service charge added to the Group's account for any check returned for non-sufficient funds.

The Group will reimburse any attorney's fees and costs related to collecting past due Policy Charges.

3.5 Does a Grace Period Apply?

A grace period of 31 days will be granted for the payment of any Policy Charge not paid when due.

During the grace period, this Policy will continue in force. The grace period will not extend beyond the date this Policy ends.

The Group is responsible for payment of the Policy Charge during the grace period. If we receive written notice from the Group to end this Policy during the grace period, we will adjust the Policy Charge so that it applies only to the number of days this Policy was in force during the grace period.

This Policy ends as described in Article 5.1 if the grace period expires and the past due Policy Charge remains unpaid.

Article 4: Eligibility and Enrollment

Article 6: General Provisions

POL24.I.2018.LG.MO 5

6.3 Time Limit on Certain Defenses

No statement made by the Group, except a fraudulent statement contained in a written instrument signed by the person making such statement, can be used to void this Policy after it has been in force for a period of two years.

6.4 Amendments and Alterations

Amendments and Riders to this Policy are effective upon the Group's next anniversary date, except as otherwise permitted by law. Amendments and Riders due to state law or regulation will be issued to the Group upon approval. Other than changes to Exhibit 2 stated in a Notice of Change to Exhibit 2, no change will be made to this Policy unless made by an Amendment or a Rider which is signed by one of our authorized executive officers and consistent with applicable notice requirements. No agent has authority to change this Policy or to waive any of its provisions.

6.5 Our Relationship with Providers and Groups

We have agreements in place that govern the relationship between us, our Groups and Network providers, some of which are affiliated providers. Network providers enter into agreements with us to provide Covered Health Care Services to Covered Persons.

The relationship between a Network provider and any Covered Person is that of provider and patient. The Network provider is solely responsible for the services provided. The relationship between any Group and any Covered Person is that of employer and employee, Dependent, or any other category of Covered Person described in the Coverage Classifications shown in this Policy.

The Group is solely responsible for enrollment and Coverage Classification changes (including the end of a Covered Person's coverage) and for the timely payment of the Policy Charges.

6.6 Records

We may require information related to the Policy, from the Group. Upon request, the Group must provide us with the requested information and proofs which may include:

• All documents provided to the Group by an individual in connection with coverage.

• The Group's payroll.

• Any other records pertinent to the coverage under this Policy.

By accepting Benefits under this Policy, each Covered Person authorizes and directs any person or institution that has provided services to him or her, to provide us or our designees any and all information and records or copies of records relating to the health care services provided to the Covered Person. We have the right to request this information at any reasonable time. This applies to all Covered Persons, including Enrolled Dependents whether or not they have signed the Subscriber's enrollment form.

We agree that such information and records will be considered confidential.

We have the right to release any and all records concerning health care services which are needed to administer the terms of this Policy including records for appropriate medical and quality review or as required by law or regulation.

During and after the term of this Policy, we and our related entities may use and transfer the information gathered under this Policy for research and analytic purposes.

6.7 Administrative Services

The services needed to administer this Policy and the Benefits provided under it will be provided in accordance with our standard administrative procedures or those standard administrative procedures of our designee. If the Group requests that administrative services be provided in a manner other than in

POL24.I.2018.LG.MO 6

accordance with these standard procedures, including requests for non-standard reports, the Group must pay for such services or reports at the then current charges for such services or reports.

We may offer to provide administrative services to the Group for certain wellness programs including, but not limited to, fitness programs, biometric screening programs and wellness coaching programs.

6.8 Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)

When this Policy is purchased by the Group to provide benefits under a health and welfare plan governed by the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act 29 U.S.C., 1001 et seq., we will not be named as, and will not be, the plan administrator or the named fiduciary of the health and welfare plan, as those terms are used in ERISA.

6.9 Do We Require Examination of Covered Persons?

In the event of a question or dispute concerning Benefits for Covered Health Care Services, we may require that a Network Physician, of our choice examine the Covered Person at our expense.

6.10 What Happens When There Is a Clerical Error?

Clerical error will not deprive any individual of Benefits under this Policy or create a right to Benefits.

Failure to report enrollments is not a clerical error. We will not provide retroactive coverage for Eligible Persons when the Group fails to report enrollments. Failure to report the end of coverage will not continue the coverage for a Covered Person beyond the date it is scheduled to end. Upon discovery of a clerical error, any needed adjustment in Premiums will be made. However, we will not grant any such adjustment in Premiums or coverage to the Group for more than 60 days of coverage prior to the date we received notification of the clerical error.

6.11 Is Workers' Compensation Affected?

Benefits provided under this Policy do not substitute for and do not affect any requirements for coverage by workers' compensation insurance.

6.12 Conformity with Law

Any provision of this Policy which, on its effective date, is in conflict with the requirements of state or federal statutes or regulations (of the jurisdiction in which this Policy is delivered) is deemed to be amended to follow the minimum requirements of those statutes and regulations.

6.13 Notice

We provide written notice regarding Policy administration to the Group's authorized representative. Once delivered, that notice is deemed notice to all affected Subscribers and their Enrolled Dependents. The Group is responsible for giving notice to Covered Persons on a timely basis.

Any notice sent to us under this Policy and any notice sent to the Group must be addressed as described in Exhibit 1.

6.14 Continuation Coverage

We agree to provide Benefits under this Policy for those Covered Persons who are eligible to continue coverage under federal or state law, as described in Section 4: When Coverage Ends of the Certificate of Coverage.

We will not provide any administrative duties with respect to the Group's compliance with federal or state law. All duties of the plan sponsor or plan administrator remain the sole responsibility of the Group, including but not limited to notification of COBRA and/or state law continuation rights and billing and collection of Premium.

POL24.I.2018.LG.MO 7

We will provide a Summary of Benefits and Coverage ("SBC"), as required by the Affordable Care Act and related regulations ("ACA"), to the Group for each benefit plan purchased. The Group is responsible for delivering the SBC to all Covered Persons and to other persons eligible for coverage in the manner and at the times required by the ACA.

6.17 System Access

The term "systems" as used in this provision means systems that we make available to the Group to facilitate the transfer of information in connection with this Policy.

System Access

We grant the Group the nonexclusive, nontransferable right to access and use the functionalities contained within the systems, under the terms of this Policy. The Group agrees that all rights, title and interest in the systems and all rights in patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets encompassed in the systems will remain ours.

The Group may designate a third party access to the systems on its behalf, provided the third party agrees to these terms and conditions. The Group remains responsible for the third party's compliance with the entire System Access provision.

Security Procedures

The Group will use commercially reasonable physical and software-based measures and comply with our security procedures, as may be amended from time to time, to protect the system, its functionalities, and data accessed through systems from any unauthorized access or damage (including damage caused by computer viruses). The Group will notify us immediately if any breach of the security procedures, such as unauthorized use, is suspected.

We have the right to end the Group's system access:

• On the date the Group does not accept the hardware, software and browser requirements provided by us, including any amendments to the requirements.

NOTICE OF PROTECTION PROVIDED BY MISSOURI

LIFE AND HEALTH INSURANCE GUARANTY

ASSOCIATION

This notice provides a brief summary of the Missouri Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association ("the Association") and the protection it provides for policyholders. This safety net was created under Missouri law, which determines who and what is covered and the amounts of coverage.

The Association was established to provide protection in the unlikely event that your life, annuity, or health insurance company becomes financially unable to meet its obligations and is taken over by its insurance department. If this should happen, the Association will typically arrange to continue coverage and pay claims, in accordance with Missouri law, with funding from assessments paid by other insurance companies. (For purposes of this notice, the terms "insurance company" and "insurer" include health maintenance organizations (HMOs).)

The basic protections provided by the Association are as follows:

▪ Life Insurance

♦ $300,000 in death benefits, but not more than $100,000 in net case surrender and net case withdrawal values

♦ $100,000 in cash surrender or withdrawal values

▪ Health Insurance

♦ $500,000 for health benefit plans

♦ $300,000 in disability insurance benefits

♦ $300,000 in long-term care insurance benefits

♦ $100,000 in other types of health insurance benefits

▪ Annuities

♦ $250,000 in the present value of annuity benefits, including net case surrender and net cash withdrawal values

The maximum amount of protection for each individual, regardless of the number of policies or contracts, is as follows:

▪ $300,000 in aggregate for all types of coverage listed above, with the exception of health benefit plans

▪ $500,000 in aggregate for health benefit plans

▪ $5,000,000 to one policy owner of multiple nongroup policies of life insurance, whether the policy owner is an individual, firm, corporation, or other person, and whether the persons insured are officers, managers, employees, or other persons

"Health benefit plan" is defined in section 376.718, RSMo.

Note: Certain policies and contracts may not be covered or fully covered. For example, coverage does not extend to any portion(s) of a policy or contract that the insurer does not guarantee, such as certain investment additions to the account value of a variable life insurance policy or a variable annuity contract.

There are also various residency requirements and other limitations under Missouri law.

Benefits provided by a long-term care (LTC) rider to a life insurance policy or annuity contract shall be considered the same type of benefits as the basic life insurance policy or annuity contract to which it relates.

To learn more about the above protections, as well as protections relating to group contracts or retirement plans, please visit the Association's website at www.mo-iga.org, or contact:

Insurance companies and agents are not allowed by Missouri law to use the existence of the Association or its coverage to encourage you to purchase any form of insurance or HMO coverage. When selecting an insurance company, you should not rely on Association coverage. If there is any inconsistency between this notice and Missouri law, then Missouri law will control.
