The insured is the person whose life is being insured, while the owner is the person who owns the policy and has control over it. The owner can make changes to the policy and decide how the benefits are used, even if they are not the insured person.

What is the difference between being insured under a policy and being self-insured?

If you have an insurance policy purchased from an insurance company, some or all of the financial losses you incur will be reimbursed by the policy issuer. If you are self-insured you, or the company that is self-insured, is responsible for all financial losses and liability to others. Some self-insured companies are self-insured only for the first million or 5 million dollars, and have bought insurance policies to cover larger losses. Their annual insurance premiums are lower as a result, since the purchased policy is not responsible for those less, and more frequent, losses.
