Browse the benefits offered to your and your family.

Medical Plans

In-network costs shown. We offer you three medical plans through BCBS.

This is a place where you can add some text if you need to describe something related to the plans. Set this to Display: None if you don't need it.

Dental Plans

In addition to protecting your smile, dental insurance helps pay for dental care and includes regular check ups, and cleanings.
Receiving regular dental care can protect you and your family from the high cost of dental disease and surgery.

Vision Plan

Vision health is essential for maintaining overall well-being, as clear eyesight supports daily activities, productivity, and quality of life.

Spending and Savings Accounts

Flexible spending accounts help you manage healthcare costs by setting aside pre-tax dollars for qualified expenses.
These accounts offer a simple way to save money and plan for medical needs throughout the year.

Voluntary Benefits

Voluntary benefits provide extra layers of support, allowing you to customize your coverage to fit your unique needs. These options give you the flexibility to enhance your overall benefits package on your terms.

401k

Bioworkers are eligible to participate in Ginkgo’s 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan, administered through Principal. The program offers both traditional & Roth contributions. New Bioworkers are auto-enrolled at 6% pre-tax.

Time Off

Bioworkers receive a myriad of Time Off benefits.

Equity Compensation

Equity awards are an important part of your total compensation package at Ginkgo. Having equity means being a partial owner of the company. Our equity program helps us compete for the most talented Bioworkers while reinforcing our ownership mindset. At Ginkgo, equity awards are typically issued as restricted stock units (RSUs). RSUs offer the opportunity to own actual shares of Ginkgo stock at one or more future dates, subject to certain vesting requirements being met.

Beneficiary

The person(s) you choose to receive certain benefits (like life insurance or 401(k) funds) if you pass away.

Copay (Copayment)

A flat dollar amount you pay when you receive certain healthcare services, such as a doctor visit or prescription.

Deductible

The amount you pay out of pocket for healthcare before your insurance starts to share costs.

Employee Assistance Program

A free and confidential program that provides support for personal, family, and work-related issues — such as counseling, legal or financial advice, and other life resources.

Explanation of Benefits (EOB)

A statement from your insurance company showing what was paid for a healthcare service, what you may owe, and what the provider billed. An EOB is not a bill.

HSA/FSA

Tax-advantaged accounts you can use to pay for eligible healthcare expenses. HSAs are paired with high-deductible health plans and can roll over year to year.

In-Network

Healthcare providers and facilities that contract with your insurance plan — using them typically costs you less.

Out-of-Pocket Maximum

The most you’ll pay in a plan year for covered services. After you reach this limit, your plan pays 100% of covered costs.

Premium

The amount you pay (usually through payroll deductions) to have coverage under an insurance plan.

Preventive Care

Routine care — like checkups, screenings, and vaccines — designed to help you stay healthy. Covered at 100% in-network on most plans.

Qualifying Life Event (QLE)

A life change — like marriage, birth of a child, or loss of other coverage — that allows you to update your benefits outside of the annual enrollment period.

Voluntary Benefits

Optional extras you can elect (often at a group rate), like accident insurance, legal services, identity theft protection, or pet insurance.
