Hi, I would really appreciate it if you could provide some guidance. I am in the process of buying a 5 acre property with a 1980 1100sqft permanently attached mobile home. It is so obvious that the value is in the land. I never thought when making the offer that the manufactured home would become such a problem. My plan was to buy 5 acre land build a regular house on it in 1-2 years. Because of the manufactured home I am being hit with high interest rate and higher down payment. I was OK with that. But now the lender requires me to have Full Replacement Cost for the manufactured home. The lender would not accept the only and highest dwelling coverage I could find from Citizens. Citizens provided an RCE report stating brand new full reconstruction would cost $147k, but they would subtract depreciation and allow 25% higher in vaullue. So, that would be $62k + 25% = $78k and the premium is like $2300. Citizens won't go higher on the premium. The lender wants $147k coverage. I am unable to find any other insurers that would even insure the mobile home. I ordered 4-point inspection and the home passed it without any issues. Full roof replacement was just done 1 week ago as well. To me the mobile home is worth $30-40k at most, so the insurance company is right. Why would they insure it for higher anyways. I am purchasing the property as is for $330k. Putting down 25%. So, only borrowing $249k. The land itself is worth $300k+. I do not understand why the lender would not accept my $78k insurance as I cannot insure the land either. I told the lender/broker to be my guess and find an insurance company that would do what they are asking for. Even if they could, I could not even imagine what the premium would be on that case? 5k ? Who would pay to insurance for 40k Mobile home? What should I do?

So, in December my son took one of our cars from Florida to Virginia for university. VA required limits are much higher than in FL and changing the limits, plus garaging the car in VA, raised our Progressive policy to almost 3 times it's cost. Instead, it was suggested by the insurer we get a different policy for the car in VA. And we did so, through Geico. Now we have 1 policy in VA for my son and I and 1 car. One policy in FL for my son and I and the other car. Today, I received a notice from the state of FL that they are going to cancel my registration because the Cadillac (car in VA under Geico policy) doesn't have insurance, according to their records). Sigh. Will FL accept the VA policy? I can't really register the car in VA since I don't live there and the car is in my name. And both the kid and I have FL licenses because he is a student, so his residence is still FL. Is the only solution to pay 3 times the amount?

I currently have condo insurance with Mercury, but their dwelling coverage isn't high enough, so I asked my Mercury agent how much it would cost to buy more dwelling coverage. He didn't respond for almost 3 weeks, which was concerning and surprising because when he were wooing me, he responded within hours. I shopped around and got a slightly lower quote from Progressive. The low cost is nice, but I'd rather go with the company that'll actually pull through in case something happens. I read a bunch of reddit posts about both Progressive and Mercury, but the experiences all seem so varied and I have no idea who's the most reliable. Sadly, they both seem kind of shitty, but we're strapped for options in California and I can't find anyone else who will take me. I've looked on various insurance ranking websites, but so many sources contradict each other. (For example, Mercury won best insurer in 2021 with JD Power but they have a low star ranking for customer satisfaction with NerdWallet.) With so much contradictory and anecdotal information, how does one even choose a home insurance company? It doesn't seem like there's a general consensus on reddit either about one company over the other.

I was rear ended in January and filed a claim with state farm The girl who hit me was in her fathers car which had state farm, liability coverage she has dairyland with full coverage. I am a State Farm customer (not after this) and was assured that this matter would be settled quickly. I was told by my first adjuster that my car was a total loss, since my car was newer that it would exceed her father’s liability coverage and they would open a claim with dairyland on my behalf to get the rest. They complete the estimate, do not contact me on what their assessments were and also changed my adjuster without contacting me whatsoever with my new adjusters contact information. I had to find this out on my own by calling after hearing nothing for two weeks after the estimate was complete. They said “maybe” my settlement would be 8k flat for reasons they seem to not be able to answer, they haven’t even offered me a settlement by this point. They said they valued my car at 11k. Which honestly would be a joke if it is 8k. I talked to my adjuster on Thursday and she is reading my information on my policy and for whatever reason State Farm has put that I have dairyland as my insurance on my claim. I feel at this point my claim has been handled with complete negligence and I am at a loss on what to do, I genuinely would like to move on with my life as this has caused me a lot of emotional and psychological distress. What are questions I could ask to understand this process more, or get traction with? Why would they open a claim on my behalf just to tell me to “do it myself” later on? I have never been in a wreck like this before so this is just another learning experience, but I do not feel as if my claim is being handled properly or correctly. Any advice would be appreciated, also please don’t be rude as I am already going through enough with this debacle.

I was in a minor fender bender in a parking lot. Other driver was turning into main drive. I was passing a car that was stopped so I was hard to see. I had minor scrape to left front bumper and other driver had minor scrape to left front. Probably about $1,000 damage to each car. Exchanged info, he's an attorney who does work for state farm. I had camera in car, but actual collision was on side so actual impact not shown. Sent my info and video to State Farm. Got an answer in one day. Was told it was inconclusive, and no one was at fault. So, we both pay our deductibles. It seemed like State Farm looked at the option that would cost the company the least, especially with the speed the determination took place.

My hip was broken in 3 spots after a pedestrian vs vehicle accident. I'm working with an attorney who has been talking with Progressive (the driver's insurance). They asked for information regarding my employment to verify wages. I have two jobs. 1 WFH, the other is more physical. I was able to return to the WFH job quickly thanks to a lot of pain meds. Anyway, my employer filled out the paperwork they needed, I sent it to my attorney who passed it over to Progressive. They still called my WFH job, needing to speak with my employer. Why? What more do they need to verify? Is this normal?

Hi, our new 2024 Tesla Model Y LR was declared totaled by Tesla Insurance and they are valuing the car at $39,451, which we don't think is fair. We bought the car in mid-Aug 2024, had only put 1316 miles before we were involved in a crash on Dec 03, 2024. We were at fault party (there was no other party involved) , so we filed a claim with our Auto Insurance which is from Tesla Insurance. We are in Fairfax, VA, but the valuation report uses for reference a similar Tesla in Apopka, FL, \~ 1000 miles away !. Btw list price of the Apopka, FL was $ 40,900 and it had 3904 miles on it. Also they have listed the Vehicle Condition as Good/Well Maintained across different areas. We do not know the scale Audatex (3rd party company who provided the valuation report) uses but our car was impeccably maintained and its condition was 'Excellent'. Need advice on how to fight back. Thanks. # From the Valuation Report: **Vehicle Condition** * Seats: Good * Carpets: Good * Int Trim: Good * Glass: Good * Headliner: Good * Body: Good * Paint: Good * Ext Trim: Good * Engine: Well Maintained * Transmission: Well Maintained * Front Tires: Good * Rear Tires: Good **Valuation Details:** * Price ( Comparable Vehicle, Apopka, FL) : $ 38,501 * Odometer Adjustmentd : $270 * Tow Hitch Package : $ 680 * TOTAL: 39,451 **Adjustments of Special Note** * An odometer adjustment of $0.1050 cents per mile/kilometer has been applied. This adjustment is based on the vehicle year, vehicle category and market area. Odometer adjustments are capped at 40% of the vehicle's starting value. * Typical miles for this 2024 Tesla Model Y in Virginia is 20,999. * No special adjustments were made for this vehicle. * All values are in U.S. dollars.

I submitted a claim for a Wellness Benefit. Date of service: Feb. 2025 Aflac denied the claim on the grounds that a Wellness Benefit had already been paid out this calendar year. But the last Wellness Benefit had been for a date of service in November 2024, so last year. The only way I can figure it is that my policy began in May 2015, and that by "calendar year" they mean May-to-April, not January-to-December. Or.... are they wrong to deny my claim?

I went to a urology visit at UIC in Chicago. The whole visit was around 10 minutes, no longer, since I was called in: blood pressure and oxigen check, a few questions about my health history and then came in the doctore that in two minutes, without even using special pieces of equipment, gave me the diagnosis. Only few weeks ago I recevied the bill and surprisingly I was billed twice: one bill for the doctor service and one for the use of the infastructure tislef. Basically the doctor just "rent" the room and equipment and provides the service. For the first bill, the total was covered by insurance excpet a small co-payment ($40), but the second one is covered only partly . It was $460 and after reductions, I have to pay out pocket, 250$. The code associated with this item is 99204: "New patient office or other outpatient visit, 45-59 minutes, Level 4" (https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/cpt/cpt-code-99204-new-patient-office-visit-45-59-minutes#:\~:text=Additional%20CPT%20resources-,CPT%C2%AE%20code%2099204%3A%20New%20patient%20office%20or,outpatient%20visit%2C%2045%2D59%20minutes) If you read thorugh the link above, this code should be applied when: "Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of a new patient, which requires a medically appropriate history and/or examination and moderate level of medical decision making. When using time for code selection, 45-59 minutes of total time is spent on the date of the encounter." Basically, none of these createria were met. Even if I descalate to Level 3, it still require 30-44 minutes and a thoroughly examination of past and current conditions. Now, what actions would you suggest me to do? Trying to reason with the hospital itslef or can BCBS help me with this matter? Fortunately, I can afford to pay this bill. But it is just frustating that it's literally a mafia, a scheme out there, and nobody does nothing. I can't imagine the people living paycheck by payecheck and being frauded by private health.

Townhouse covered by condo insurance. Pipe in the ground(HOA property) breaks, excavation needed to determine the cause and replace the pipe. Insurance denied repairing the pipe due to wear and tear which is understandable,, but shouldn't they pay the excavation which was needed to determine the cause? There was other damage that was covered. Montana condo policy. Back up water/sewer damage coverage on the HOA policy.
