Group Health Insurance for 100 Employees
A 100-person team in India typically pays about ₹250 to ₹980 per employee a month, depending on whether you pick ₹2 lakh or ₹5 lakh cover — roughly ₹3,00,000 to ₹11,76,000 a year for the whole team. A common ₹3 lakh plan lands near ₹360 to ₹530 per head each month. At 100 lives the pool is broad enough that your own claims history, not just age, starts to set the price.

| Sum insured | Per employee / month | Approx. per employee / year | Whole team (100) / year |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₹2,00,000 | ₹250 – ₹380 | ₹3,000 – ₹4,560 | ₹3,00,000 – ₹4,56,000 |
| ₹3,00,000 | ₹360 – ₹530 | ₹4,320 – ₹6,360 | ₹4,32,000 – ₹6,36,000 |
| ₹5,00,000 | ₹650 – ₹980 | ₹7,800 – ₹11,760 | ₹7,80,000 – ₹11,76,000 |

Why 100 lives earns a keener per-head rate
Group premiums fall as headcount rises, because a bigger pool spreads the cost of any single large claim over more people. At 100 lives one hospitalisation barely moves the average, so the volatility loading a small team carries has all but disappeared. Per-employee rates are usually keenest from about 25 lives upward and flatten around 100, where experience rating takes the wheel.
That shift cuts both ways: a clean claims year can hold your renewal while the wider market rises, but a heavy year is priced straight back to you. It is why wellness and OPD cover that catch issues early matter more at this size — and why Onsurity bundles them in, rather than selling them as a costly rider.
Minimum-group rules: how a 100-person team is treated
At 100 lives you clear every threshold comfortably — so the question is less “will they quote?” and more “who competes hardest for the account?”
IRDAI floor: 7 lives
The regulator sets 7 lives as the minimum for a group policy. A 100-employee team sits far above it, so eligibility is never in doubt.
Traditional insurers: they compete
At 100 lives even PSU insurers that prefer large groups will quote, and private insurers pitch hard — giving you leverage on price, sum insured and servicing.
Onsurity: from 2 lives, built to scale
Onsurity issues a membership from as few as 2 lives, founders included, and the same self-serve model scales cleanly to 100 — no minimum to clear, no annual lump-sum.
What changes at 100 lives
Four things that shape pricing and cover once your team reaches around a hundred people.
Experience rating takes over
At 100 lives the insurer prices largely on your own claims history rather than the market book. A clean year holds your renewal steady; a heavy claims year is felt directly, which makes utilisation worth watching.
A corporate buffer becomes standard
A shared top-up pool that catches claims exceeding an individual’s sum insured is practical at this size — so one expensive hospitalisation does not exhaust a member’s cover or force an out-of-pocket bill.
Grade-based cover and wider families
Offering tiered sum insured by seniority, plus parents and larger dependent sets under one master policy, is straightforward at 100 lives — the pool absorbs the extra risk without a steep loading.
Volume leverage and dedicated servicing
A 100-life account earns real negotiating room, a named servicing contact, faster endorsements and monthly MIS — so onboarding a cohort of joiners is a dashboard task, not a broker chase.
One membership. Your whole team. No annual lump-sum.

Cover a team of 100 the modern way
Onsurity issues a healthcare membership from as few as 2 lives, founders included, and bills monthly per active employee — so a team of a hundred never fronts a full year of premium in one cheque. Add joiners or remove leavers mid-cycle and billing trues up for the next month.
Wellness, OPD and day-1 cover come built into the membership rather than bolted on as costly riders — the same plan that starts small scales cleanly as you grow.

Frequently asked questions
For a 100-person team, expect roughly ₹250 to ₹980 per employee a month depending on the sum insured — about ₹3,00,000 a year for the whole team on a ₹2 lakh plan, and up to ₹11,76,000 on a ₹5 lakh plan. A common ₹3 lakh plan runs near ₹4,32,000 to ₹6,36,000 a year for all hundred.
A larger pool spreads the cost of any single big claim over more people, so one hospitalisation barely moves the average. Insurers price that stability in, which lowers the per-employee premium. Rates are keenest from about 25 lives upward and flatten around 100, where experience rating starts to dominate.
Around 100 lives, blended and experience rating take over: your incurred claims ratio — claims paid versus premium collected — becomes the main lever at renewal. Keep it healthy and you can hold or cut premium; let it run high and the next renewal loads. Wellness and OPD usage that catches issues early helps keep it in check.
Usually yes. A corporate buffer is a shared pool the whole group can draw on when a claim exceeds an individual’s sum insured. At 100 lives it is affordable and prevents a single major hospitalisation from wiping out a member’s cover — a common upgrade once a team crosses this size.
Not with Onsurity. Instead of a single annual premium for the whole team, cover runs as a monthly subscription billed per active employee, so a 100-person team never fronts a year of premium at once. Add or remove members mid-cycle and billing adjusts for the next month.
