Family Support

You can schedule a personal consultation with the Carrot care team – to learn more about your options and connect with a top provider in your area.

You have access to Carrot’s global provider directory – including 2,700 clinics and 1,250 attorneys and agencies in more than 42 countries. Carrot also gives you discounts and expedited appointments at top fertility clinics.

Your care team can also answer medical, legal, benefits coverage, and regulatory questions.

To get started, go to the Carrot website, or use the Carrot app on your Okta dashboard.

Okta provides you with money for reimbursing your eligible expenses related to fertility healthcare and adoption.

The company may reimburse you for 100% of your eligible expenses, up to $5,000 annual maximum. Expenses for you and/or your spouse or domestic partner are combined. Please note that some banks may charge an international transfer fee.

Review the Carrot benefit guide for more details and frequently asked questions about eligible fertility treatment and adoption expenses.

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.

You can use your employer-sponsored funds to cover shipping or transportation costs for human milk. That may include storing/carrying milk while traveling and shipping milk home to the baby.

Eligible Expenses:

• Shipping fees from shipping companies (e.g., Milk Stork, FedEx, UPS)
• Shipping/transportation materials and supplies (e.g., dry ice, styrofoam cooler, storage bags)
• Kits for milk shipping or travel  

Ineligible Expenses:

• Milk pumps
• Freeze-drying milk for long-term storage

In addition to the Carrot benefit guide, the following plan documents provide details about how Okta manages the program:

• Fertility program plan document
• Surrogacy program plan document
• Adoption assistance plan document
• Pregnancy support overview
• Menopause and low T support overview
• Infertility health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) plan document
