Associate Contributions

Contributions for medical coverage for all Advocate associates are based on benefits-eligible service. With the service-based approach, associates will pay less toward the cost of their medical coverage—as a percentage of the total cost of this coverage—as they complete additional years of benefits-eligible service. So, associates with more years of benefits-eligible service will pay less for medical coverage than associates with fewer years of benefits service. In fact, an associate who has completed 11 or more years of Advocate benefits-eligible service will pay substantially less for medical coverage as a newly-hired associate will pay for the same coverage.

Contribution rates—including rates for dental and vision coverage—are available on the following information sheets. If you are a:
