💡 Recommendation

Consider a hybrid approach - use progressive disclosure for quick claims with the option to switch to a step wizard for more complex submissions.

For Providers

Consider accordion or tabs - they likely submit claims frequently and value efficiency over guidance.

For Patients

Keep the wizard approach - they need more guidance and submit claims less frequently.
