Some employers are “self-insured.” This means they don’t pay an insurance company for a health insurance plan. Instead, they pay your medical costs directly. This is also called “self-funded.”
Many people get health insurance through their employer or their spouse’s employer. This is often called “Employer-Sponsored Insurance.”
