We offer dental insurance through Kansas City Life Insurance to eligible employees and their dependents.

Our dental insurance plan covers orthodontia at 50% up to a $2,000 lifetime maximum.

Elica employees who have dental coverage with Kansas City Life are eligible to receive services from Elica’s dental centers, for which Elica will cover copays and deductible costs. Elica employee dependents are not eligible for this additional benefit.

Kansas City Life also offers a Dental Reserve Account. You can roll up to $500 of leftover maximum funds into that account per year, with a total of $1,000 allowed in that account. These reserves can be used in any subsequent year to help cover more dental expenses.

We offer broad vision insurance coverage through Vision Service Plan (VSP), which covers an annual exam, lenses, frames and contact lenses.

Medical and Dental providers accrue four (4) weeks of vacation beginning on date of hire, which increases to five (5) weeks of vacation after completion of 5 years’ service.
