No two fertility health or family-building journeys are the same — but there's support for them all
From family building to menopause and low testosterone, managing fertility health can be challenging without the right support. That’s why Guardian has partnered with Carrot to provide fertility health and family-building services, through personalized guidance and comprehensive educational resources that span all phases of life, embedded in our hospital indemnity insurance offering.
Proven outcomes
Carrot's unique program helps employees explore options like ovulation tracking and nutrition counseling, which can be alternatives to costly and invasive care. If in vitro fertilization (IVF) is the best option, Carrot's focus on education has resulted in an industry-leading single embryo transfer (SET) rate and above-average IVF pregnancy rate.¹
Carrot Academy
Employees can explore medically reviewed resources as well as journey-specific guides on complex topics. Plus, they can join virtual small group sessions to discuss specific topics in a supportive environment.
CarrotMatch
CarrotMatch is powered by a unique dataset that provides employees with a list of the best resources and providers in their area, then matches them to providers based on their unique medical profile.
In-the-moment guidance
Employees can chat with a member of Carrot's Care Team 24/7 to receive personalized guidance for their individual needs and preferences.
Expert sessions
Each plan year, employees can access up to three sessions for guidance and advice from experts across a wide range of specialties, including emotional support, nutrition, lactation, and more.
90% of employees say they’ll stay with their employer longer because they offer Carrot.²
