Please note—Risk Management recently changed its name to Insurance and Claims Administration. The new name more accurately represents the department's core functions, which include the placement and administration of U-M's insurance policies as well as the management of claims related to policy coverage.

Insurance and Claims Administration assists the university’s operating units, faculty and staff with managing risk created by programs and activities. We provide resources, counseling, training, and insurance designed to protect against or mitigate losses to the people, facilities, and other assets of the campus community. Insurance and Claims Administration's functions include: identification, analysis of risk, and assessment of loss potential; eliminating or minimizing risks; implementing loss funding and risk financing mechanisms; and claims management.
