<Accordion title="How does the Easy Pay card system work?">
  The Easy Pay card is April's innovative direct billing solution:

  1. You receive both physical and digital versions of your Easy Pay card
  2. When visiting network providers, present your card at registration
  3. The provider verifies your coverage electronically in real-time
  4. Approved treatments are charged directly to April (no out-of-pocket payment)
  5. The claim is automatically processed in the system
  6. You'll receive notification of the claim settlement via the Easy Claim app

  The system works with over 50,000 healthcare providers globally. For non-network providers, you can still use traditional claims submission through the Easy Claim app.

  * **Dental care**: 3-month waiting period for routine care, 9 months for major work

  <h3 className="font-medium text-green-800 dark:text-green-300 mb-2">Expert Tip from our Brokers</h3>

  <p className="text-sm">
    April's Easy Claim app offers a "paperless claims" feature that can accelerate reimbursement by 2-3 days. For claims under \$500, simply taking clear photos of your receipts through the app is sufficient—no need to mail original documents. For larger claims, you'll still need to keep originals for 12 months in case of audit.
