Self-insurance
Term · Insurance and risk management · MLC-T-INS-003054
A risk financing method where an individual or organization assumes financial responsibility for its own potential losses rather than transferring that risk to an insurance company. This involves setting aside funds to cover anticipated claims and managing the claims process internally. Self-insurance is often chosen by large organizations with predictable loss patterns and sufficient financial resources.
