The takeaway
Carrot provides a complete, global fertility benefit to Okta families. Carrot provides equal access to fertility care regardless of gender, sexual orientation, fertility diagnosis, or geographic location.
Through Carrot, you’ll have Okta-provided funds to help pay for fertility treatments or other family-forming services (for example, adoption). You’ll be assigned a dedicated care team of benefits experts and fertility clinicians to support you with high-touch care and guidance throughout the family planning process.

How Carrot works
The Carrot program covers fertility education and assessments, fertility preservation (egg, sperm, and embryo freezing), in-vitro fertilization (IVF), donor-assisted reproduction (including surrogacy), and adoption.
You and your spouse or domestic partner are eligible to participate in the program (provided you’re a full-time, benefits-eligible employee scheduled to work 30+ per week).

Travel expenses for reproductive care
As it becomes increasingly difficult and possibly dangerous to access reproductive care in the U.S., we’re committed to helping our employees. We have partnered with Carrot to offer funds towards travel expenses for any U.S. employees who may need to travel to obtain reproductive care as well as access to unlimited virtual visits with emotional support experts. Then, if you'd like to use your Carrot funds for travel expenses or any other eligible care, you can create a Carrot Plan and submit your itemized statements for reimbursement.
