Recommendation

Critical Privacy Risk: Carrot's reimbursement model requires you to proactively upload sensitive medical documentation, creating extensive data exposure. Unlike direct-pay models, you're handing over copies of your actual medical records.

For Users: Only upload documentation strictly required for reimbursement. Redact unnecessary personal details from documents. Understand that your medical records will be viewed by claims reviewers and potentially shared with vendors. Consider what treatment details you're comfortable having in Carrot's systems.
