Paying for Coverage

Over the past few years, we’ve been on a journey to manage employee benefit costs by taking many factors into consideration when making benefits decisions, such as your health and well-being needs, market trends and regulations, and ensuring we’re offering sustainable plans with top carriers.

In 2022, you will see a modest increase in medical contribution rates to align with trend. Like last year, those whose salary is less than $85,000 annually will contribute less than other employees. View the Paying for Coverage Guide to see the medical contribution rates for each plan and coverage tier.

Biogen continues to pay the vast majority of the cost of our benefits program. In fact, Biogen invests $240 million each year in the benefits portion of our Total Rewards program – an array of resources ranging from wellness credit to offset medical premiums, health, retirement and long-term savings plans, and a mix of work/life and income protection plans.

We have several tools to help you estimate the cost of care, including:

  • The Blue Cross Blue Shield estimator tool for annual medical costs. Learn more here.
  • The Express Scripts prescription drug cost estimator and live customer support. Learn more here.
