Carrot Family Planning

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).

Samsara-provided funds to support your needs

Samsara provides you with money for reimbursing your eligible expenses related to fertility treatment and adoption.

The company may reimburse you for 100% of your eligible expenses, up to $25,000 (or local currency equivalent) per lifetime. Expenses for you and/or your spouse or domestic partner are combined.

Eligible expenses include, but are not limited to:

• Basic fertility check-ups

• Egg, sperm, and embryo freezing and storage fees

• Intrauterine insemination or in-vitro fertilization

• Genetic testing of embryos

• Vasectomy reversals

• Gestational carrier-related expenses

• Adoption-related fees

Please note that some items are considered taxable, so those reimbursements will be taxed and the taxation will be taken out of your paycheck. Please reach out to Carrot team about what items may be taxable.

Review the Carrot member portal for more details included what's considered a taxable reimbursement expense and frequently asked questions about eligible fertility treatment and adoption expenses.

Once expenses have been approved by Carrot, you will typically see the reimbursement (less any applicable taxes) in your paycheck at the end of month paycheck. Depending on timing of the approval, the reimbursements may be in the following month's paycheck.
