Intro RESOLUTION 11399, August 26, 1996 INTRODUCED BY Victor E. Callahan, County Legislator Body WHEREAS, the County has requested renewal rates for the group dental plan from Kansas City Dental Care (KCDC) and for a proposal from an indemnity carrier; and, WHEREAS, KCDC encountered reluctance from insurance carriers to propose an indemnity plan as there would be a potential of 400 plus employees, with less than a quarter of these employees receiving employer contribution; and, WHEREAS, KCDC did receive a proposal for FLEXI-DENT, an indemnity plan underwritten by Lafayette Life Insurance Company; and, WHEREAS, the Administration and Risk and Insurance Committee reviewed the FLEXI- DENT indemnity plan and do not recommend offering the plan as the rates and the building benefit coverage did not appear to be a significant benefit for employees; and, WHEREAS, the Administration and Risk and Insurance Committee recommend: Provider Monthly Rate Kansas City Dental Care (KCDC) $8.50 Individual $16.00 Couple $23.00 Family and, WHEREAS, KCDC has maintained low cost to employees and the County for many years; and, WHEREAS, Kansas City Dental Care has proposed no rate increase for the next three (3) years; now therefore, BE IT RESOLVED by the County Legislature of Jackson County, Missouri, that the County Executive is hereby authorized to execute a three-year agreement with Kansas City Dental Care, for employee group dental insurance coverage.
