Case Study: Accolade lowers healthcare costs and expands inclusive fertility benefits with Carrot Fertility

Accolade lowers healthcare costs with Carrot as 7% of eligible employees register in 6 months

Accolade, a personalized healthcare platform, sought to add an inclusive fertility benefit for its employees that would also provide a return on investment by lowering long-term healthcare costs. Following a significant pregnancy-related claim, their challenge was to find a comprehensive solution that offered robust care navigation to guide employees to safe, effective, and cost-effective family-forming care.

They implemented Carrot Fertility, which provided a clinically managed solution emphasizing single embryo transfer to reduce costly multiple births and NICU admissions. The benefit was quickly adopted, with almost 9% of eligible employees registering. Carrot's extensive support for all journeys, from IVF to adoption, and its high-quality vetted network led to positive feedback and successfully met Accolade's goals for both employee care and financial impact.
