According to this, that's not true if the employer has less than 20 employees:

But then these say that you qualify for a SEP is you're covered under a group policy, no mention of the 20 employees:

All of these links seem to use the words "some people", "usually", "may", and "should" quite liberally. I'll be talking with the UHC agent in few days, maybe I'll gain some clarity on the subject.
