Location: Arizona My boyfriend and I rented an apartment about a month ago. Ever since staying there, we noticed a large, unavoidable amount of roaches. As stated in the contract, we were allowed to leave if the conditions were deemed unfit for living. We sent several emails regarding this situation, and even got bed bugs and have photos of proof of the roaches and bites as well as a doctor note. There were roaches in bags of potatoes, closed flour, and more. We had enough and left, leaving a letter saying we would be leaving and why. They are now trying to charge us 12k for the months that we left, and threatened to send to collections. We got an email this morning regarding the amount owed from collections. What can we do? We both don’t make enough to pay this off or to get a lawyer.

I had a pre-op call with my hospital today prior to my bilateral salpingectomy (preventative birth control) procedure next week. I have a new Aetna plan with a $2k deductible, so it didn’t seem crazy when the hospital said I owed $2k. But now I’m hearing that my procedure should be free under the ACA. I was told I’ll get my receipt for the charge at my pre-op appt on Friday. Any chance of me getting this money back if I dispute? Can I do a chargeback on my card?

Our older Bernese is insured through Trupanion, which has been very easy to work with on hi lymphoma. So far they've covered chemo really well, and we're even considering a stem cell replacement therapy (which costs $75-90k) and it seems like they will cover that as well. We are thinking ahead for our younger berner, Leela and are going to purchase pet insurance for her. Trupanion has been great for Jackson, but for some reason they are 3x+ as expensive as other options ($600/mo for 90% coverage and non annual limit). We're also looking at Figo, Pet's Best, pumpkin, and Prudent Pet. Important considerations are unlimited annual payout & a 90% coverage level. Berners tend to get cancer, and we want to make it an easy financial decision to get her the best care possible if that happens for her. Do you have experience with any of these insurers (or have others that have been good to work with?) Seems like there are many many options, and would like to avoid picking one now that is difficult to work with down the line. Figo, pumpkin, and Prudent Pet are similarly priced at around $130-180/mo. Pet's Best is coming in way less expensive, $90/mo for a $500 deductible and $55/mo (!) for a $1,000 deductible. Particularly interested in any of y'all who've gone through cancer treatment with these carries. How has it been?

Hey denied my cat’s mycoplasma diagnosis because his first vet record shows he was sneezing (self report by us.) however, he is a Persian and they tend to sneeze for no reason. The sneezing he was doing when he got sick was WAY different than just a smelling around sneeze. Now they’re saying it’s a preexisting condition when it’s not! (It was a bacterial infection, he didn’t have it when we got him for sure). We got him in December and he got his cold in February. I’m so upset and really regretting getting Lemonade

Hello. I have mapfre insurance. I had a minor accident 2 weeks ago and submitted a claim on March 27th. They had me take pics of the damage(front bumper damage) I got my estimate from their electronic appraisal. I dropped off the car at an in network shop on Sunday, March 31st. That Monday the shop submitted a supplemental appraisal to have someone to check the car to approve more funds to get the car fixed from insurance. Since then there has not been an appraiser to come check my car at the shop. It’s been a week and it’s beginning to get frustrating. I was told many different stories on when an appraiser will come up until on Thursday an appraiser told me there was an issue in their system that prevented them from assigning an appraiser. I was told this past Friday that one has been assigned and will call the shop to schedule an appointment. The damage is minimal and the shop can fix the car in 2 days but can’t proceed without insurance. What are my options to make sure they have someone come on Monday? I’ve been without a car for a week and it’s been difficult to get around. Would love some advice on this issue!

I enrolled my pup in Pet Best insurance last year, including the wellness coverage. I submitted a claim for a vaccination on April 19, along with the receipt and clinic record. It’s now been over two weeks, and the claim is still listed as "pending review" with no updates. I’m confused why it’s taking so long—wellness claims shouldn’t require checks for pre-existing conditions, and there’s no deductible involved. What exactly needs to be reviewed? Thankfully, it’s a small claim, but I can’t imagine the stress if it were a large expense. Has anyone else had a similar experience with Pet Best?

Location: Michigan At a loss here. Just received a statement from my health care provider that BCBS denied my iron infusion from January and that I owe $11,000. I had iron deficient anemia during my pregnancy and iron pills didn’t do anything to raise my levels so my doctor ordered iron infusions. I didn’t think anything of it as during my first pregnancy in 2023, I also had iron deficient anemia and my iron infusions were covered by my insurance but it was through a different health care provider. BCBS is claiming that the treatment I received for iron deficient anemia isn’t covered. The procedure was coded as q0138. Do I appeal? Do I call my health care provider and see if they coded this wrong? Owing $11k for something that’s been covered before is stressing me out. I never would have agreed to iron infusions if I had known it would be denied. I cannot afford an $11k bill…

Hi all, I recently moved, got a new gastroenterologist, and switched to Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance. I specifically went to the new doctor to get a prescription for Viberzi for my IBS. I've been on this medication for four years and knew the new insurance would require prior authorization. Long story short, my prior authorization was denied because the insurance company said my medical history wasn’t documented. I was confused since I had already submitted my past medical records to the new doctor. When I called the office to check, they told me they *can’t* include previous medical records because they were from before I became a patient there. They said they are going to submit it again and it will go to a peer-to-peer next. And I asked if the doctor will submit my medical history then. And they told me "He doesn't need to send your medical history. He's a physician." I’m really frustrated and not sure what to do next besides hoping the peer-to-peer thing works. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Can a doctor really not use past medical records for prior authorization? Any advice?

Hey everyone! I just got an 8-week-old Australian Shepherd and signed him up for a policy with Pets Best. After reading through the contract, I noticed they have a clause that says even undocumented or undiagnosed conditions can be considered “pre-existing” if the pet showed any signs or symptoms before the policy start date or during the waiting period. Now I’m kinda paranoid and want to protect myself in case they try to deny anything later and try to blame it on that clause. I’ve read stuff online about insurances doing that. Has anyone else done a routine vet checkup right after enrolling, just to have something on file that says the pup was healthy at the start of the policy? Did it help? I’m thinking of doing one this week just for that reason. Would love to hear what others did — or if anyone’s dealt with a similar denial. Trying to play it smart before something pops up!
