Q.- What is a self-funded health plan?

A.- A self-funded health plan, also known as a self-insured plan, is a healthcare benefit arrangement where an employer directly assumes the financial risk for its employees’ medical claims. Rather than paying fixed premiums to an insurance carrier, the employer covers the actual healthcare costs, often with stop-loss insurance to limit liability.
