## Notices

The notice carousel is at the top of the app home screen. Swipe left or right to scroll through notices and tap or click them to get more information.

Notices are used to promote the most important features in your app and connect you with integrated offerings or solutions available to you based on your health plan or program. Notices may also be used to communicate important announcements or insights that you might want to take advantage of.

Notices usually include additional information on how to access a particular service and have call-to-action buttons such as tap to call, tap to message, or click to link out to an external websites or portals.

## Message Action Button

The button in the center of the home screen connects you with the messaging center. There, you have the option to chat with your AI assistant or message with your service team for more complex requests.

### BillAssist / Upload New Bill Button (optional)

In some cases, the center button is used to support our bill reduction service. Here you can upload a high-cost medical bill and take advantage of hospital discounts and negotiated discounts.

## Quicklinks

The bottom third of your home screen hosts a series of quicklinks. Quicklinks are designed to get you to the most important areas of your app with one tap. They may also link you to external portals or systems.
