What is Self-Insured?
The university's health and dental insurance plans are self-insured. Self-insured means the employee and employer premiums go into a health plan account instead of being sent to Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield (our health insurance vendor). This means how employees use the plan impacts future premiums and the health plan account.
