Group Health Insurance for 200 Employees
A 200-person team in India typically pays about ₹240 to ₹940 per employee a month, depending on whether you pick ₹2 lakh or ₹5 lakh cover — roughly ₹5,76,000 to ₹22,56,000 a year for the whole team. A common ₹3 lakh plan lands near ₹345 to ₹510 per head each month. At 200 lives per-head rates are among the keenest, and your own claims history drives every renewal.

Why 200 lives sits at the keen end of the curve
Group premiums fall as headcount rises, and by 200 lives the curve has flattened — the pool is broad enough that no single claim moves the average, so the volatility loading a small team pays has vanished. What you gain on top at this size is leverage: a 200-life account is worth competing for, so you can tender the policy across insurers and negotiate on co-payment and room-rent limits to shape the rate.
The trade-off is accountability: your incurred claims ratio now drives the price directly, so a heavy claims year is felt at renewal. That is why OPD and wellness that catch issues early pay for themselves at scale — and why Onsurity bundles them into the membership rather than charging for them as a rider.
Minimum-group rules: how a 200-person team is treated
At 200 lives eligibility is a given — the real questions are who competes for the account and how much servicing and governance you can command.
IRDAI floor: 7 lives
The regulator sets 7 lives as the minimum for a group policy. A 200-employee team is well into large-group territory, so eligibility is never a concern.
Traditional insurers: full competition
Every insurer — PSU and private — will pitch for a 200-life account. That competition is your lever on premium, sum insured, buffer size and MIS.
Onsurity: one model, no lump-sum
Onsurity issues a membership from as few as 2 lives and the same self-serve model runs a 200-life account — monthly billing per active employee, no annual lump-sum to front.
What changes at 200 lives
Four things that shape pricing and cover once your team reaches around two hundred people.
Pricing is fully experience-rated
At 200 lives your incurred claims ratio — claims paid against premium collected — is the number that sets renewal. Run it under roughly 80% and you can hold or cut premium; run it hot and the next renewal loads to recover the gap.
Renewal becomes a tender
A 200-life account is worth competing for, so you can put the policy out to multiple insurers each year and use co-pay, room-rent limits and wellness to shape a premium that fits budget — real leverage a small team never has.
Buffer plus voluntary top-up
A corporate buffer catches claims above an individual’s cover, and employees can layer a voluntary super top-up on their own — so a serious hospitalisation is protected without pushing the base premium up for everyone.
Governance and utilisation MIS
Monthly dashboards on utilisation, a named account manager and structured wellness programmes let you see where claims cluster and act on them — bending the claims curve before it hits renewal.
One membership. Your whole team. No annual lump-sum.

Cover a team of 200 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 two 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 200-person team, expect roughly ₹240 to ₹940 per employee a month depending on the sum insured — about ₹5,76,000 a year for the whole team on a ₹2 lakh plan, and up to ₹22,56,000 on a ₹5 lakh plan. A common ₹3 lakh plan runs near ₹8,28,000 to ₹12,24,000 a year for all two hundred.
A 200-life pool is broad enough that no single claim moves the average, so the volatility loading smaller teams carry is gone. Per-head rates flatten from about 100 lives, and at 200 you gain tender leverage on top — putting the policy out to competing insurers each year to keep the rate keen.
Heavily. At this size renewal is set by your incurred claims ratio — total claims paid divided by premium collected. Below about 80% you are in a strong position to hold or negotiate down; above 100% insurers will load the renewal. Wellness, OPD and early intervention are the main tools to keep that ratio healthy.
Yes. At 200 lives grade-based cover is standard: say ₹3 lakh for the wider team and ₹5 lakh for senior roles, with a shared corporate buffer above both, all under one master policy. Employees can also buy a voluntary super top-up for extra protection without raising the base premium.
Not with Onsurity. Rather than a single large annual premium for the whole team, cover runs as a monthly subscription billed per active employee, so a 200-person team never fronts a year of premium at once. Add or remove members mid-cycle and billing adjusts for the next month.
