The Medical Benefits Program has partnered with Carrot to provide inclusive hormonal health, fertility, and family-building benefits — including funds to help pay for eligible care covered under your Medical Benefits Program benefits. With our Conception Benefit, members have a lifetime maximum benefit of $50,000 for these services.
All family building services for staff members and their spouse/registered domestic partner covered by the Medical Benefits Program must go through Carrot.
