Discounts
Advocate Health Care offers the opportunity to save money through two valuable discount programs.
Cellular Phone Discounts
As an Advocate associate, you are eligible for a significant discount if you have cellular phone service with
AT&T, Sprint, Verizon or T-Mobile. When you sign up through one of these cellular vendors for the Advocate
associate discount program, you can get a discount up to 25% off the cost of your monthly cellular phone
service (depending on your cell phone company).

These discounts are offered directly through the vendors—AT&T, Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile. To take advantage of one of these
discount programs, you must contract directly with the appropriate vendor. Depending on where you live, an authorized dealer for
AT&T, Sprint, Verizon or T-Mobile may be offering other discounts on services; to ensure that you get the best deal, check out the
authorized dealers in your area before signing up for this program. These discounts are not part of the PerkSpot discount program
