What is Carrot Fertility and How Can It Help with Postpartum Support?

Hey there, Charlotte NC parents!

We know many of you are curious about insurance options for doula services or how you might get reimbursed for postpartum care. While a lot of our clients pay out-of-pocket for doula services, some of our lucky Charlotte families have employers that offer a fantastic benefit called Carrot Fertility. This can help cover the costs of postpartum doula care.

So, what exactly is Carrot Fertility?

Carrot is an amazing benefit some employers offer that provides both informational and financial support for growing families. This benefit often includes reimbursement for postpartum care, meaning you can get financial help for the services of a day or night postpartum doula. Each Carrot plan is unique depending on the employer, but they generally offer a one-time benefit that can be used to cover various postpartum doula services.

At Queen City Doulas, we’ve seen many clients successfully use this benefit for their postpartum care. It’s a wonderful way to get the support you need during those crucial weeks after your baby arrives.

How does Carrot reimbursement for postpartum doula care work?

Each plan varies depending on your employer, but most plans provide reimbursement for both overnight and daytime care. Usually, there’s a designated number of hours that can be used within 5-6 weeks after birth. Many of our families choose to utilize this benefit for 5-7 days a week for 5 weeks.

 What Our Clients Are Saying About Carrot:

• “It was so easy! I paid for my care upfront, submitted my invoices for reimbursement along with an attestation that I was working with a doula, and they reimbursed me for everything.”
• “I got reimbursed for the services, but it did require some paperwork and a bit of back and forth. Kaitlyn was a lifesaver, always ready with follow-up documentation, and in the end, everything went through. It’s a fantastic benefit.”
• “I chose to work with Queen City Doulas after hearing from a previous client who used Carrot for postpartum care. The paperwork was a bit of a hassle, but it was totally worth it. I didn’t have a doula the first time around, and having one this time made things so much smoother. If you have this benefit, I HIGHLY recommend using it for postpartum services!”
