# The case for self-funding at small and mid-sized businesses - Benefits Pro

![A revolution in health care is being spurred by self-insurance, also referred to as self-funding.](http://media.benefitspro.com/benefitspro/article/2016/12/14/0707paintingofdollarsignsap-crop-600x338-crop-600x338.jpg)

Read the full original article from [Benefits Pro](http://www.benefitspro.com/2016/12/28/the-case-for-self-funding-at-small-and-mid-sized-b?slreturn=1484085696).

In an attempt to balance employees' interests with company profitability, "company owners facing higher healthcare costs are putting more pressure on their human resources staff to find a tenable long-term solution. The revolution in health care is being spurred by self-insurance (or self-funding, partial self-funding, or partial-self insurance), something large businesses have been doing for decades. The big change today is that small and midsized companies can use this model to save money and increase services, with little or no risk."
