I was insured through United Healthcare via my employer in Texas. My employer paid premiums monthly to cover the following month’s insurance (monthly payroll). On March 12, 2025, all employees were notified via work email that we were being placed on unpaid furlough effective immediately. We were told we would still be paid for work performed from March 1–11, with payroll running as usual at the end of the month. I didn’t hear anything else from my employer until April 2, when I received a letter in my personal email stating that we had all been officially terminated effective March 21, 2025. The issue is that I saw a specialist and had exams done on March 24, unaware that I had technically been laid off on March 21. The same day I received notice of separation (April 2), I called United Healthcare to check on my coverage. They told me my insurance appeared to be active and didn’t show any indication that it had ended. However, when I checked the United Healthcare app today (April 5), it now says my coverage ended March 21, and they have denied the claims from my March 24 visit. I had no way of knowing my coverage (or job) had ended at the time of the appointment. I’m concerned my employer backdated the termination or insurance cancellation, and I’m now stuck with bills for services I reasonably believed would be covered. Has anyone dealt with something like this before? What are my options here? Should coverage have continued through the end of March? Additional information: I have since found out my employer filed for bankruptcy, without letting any of us know, and none of the employees were paid for their time worked in March 1 - 11th. Any help or guidance would be appreciated I’m unsure how to navigate this situation.

A couple months ago my car was parked and someone hit the back of it (they were parked behind me). Luckily my dash cam recorded everything. I contacted the local police and they went to the man’s house and he admitted fault saying “ I didn’t think it was that bad”. I declined pressing charges as this man was older and In just wanted his insurance info thinking it would be a simple claim. Alas, here were are with State Farm trying to get me to use their preferred body shop and only approving 60% of the estimate. I know they tout the benefits of using their contracted shops but I don’t want to do that. I got two estimates from two reputable shops showing what the cost to repair should be but they don’t want to budge. I also understand that if I go to a non contracted shop then the shop can request supplements for more money from insurance to complete the repairs. I just don’t like being liable for any monies not agreed to by State Farm if that situation were to happen. At this point I’d rather just get the amount the two shops quoted me to fix it and go that route. I’ve compiled a demand letter requesting that amount, along with 10 days of a rental care cost. I think this is fair and hoping this will resolve the claim. Think they will agree?

Location: Winnebago County Illinois. It's hard for me to know where to start with this. On April 3rd I received a letter that there is a petition to revive a judgment from 2009 for small claims. I want to know if there is anything I can do to fight this. or to have it denied. Back in 2009 I woke up one day with a garnishment on my paycheck and found out that a company called Midland Funding LLC. placed a garnishment on my wages for a debt they claimed they were owed by me. When I reached out to the creditor, I was able to get some information and they served papers to an address I've never lived at and did not recognize to a person I do not know. I tried to explain to them that I do not recognize the debt and that it was fraudulent. They said it was too late and there was nothing that they would do about it. The garnishments would continue. I was too broke to afford a lawyer even though they were taking between $50-$80 out of every check. It was still less every check than it would have cost me to get a lawyer, and I did not have any savings. I was in my late 20s and there was not a lot of information back in 2009 for legal support. I also did not have adults around me with experience or advice on what I should do. so being young and dumb I didn't pursue it after about 2013 the garnishments just stopped on their own. I still had the same job, and I figured they collected whatever they thought they were owed. They sent me a notice that they filed a petition to revive and collect $2152.22. What I have done so far: I went to my county clerk's office online to look up the case. I did some Google searches that recommended I fill out what's called a response, explaining why I do not feel that this case should be revived and found some forms online. If possible, I would like some guidance on how to best to fill out my response in a way that would give me the best chance of the judge denying their request, and how I would submit the forms to the court

I was in a non injury auto collision accident with another vehicle. My car sustained much worse damage than the other car. I went to get an estimate at SHOP A and it's $3,000 to fix and only need 4 days. I then filed a claim through my Geico insurance. They say there is no fault on either party so we have to pay through our own coverage. Geico has set me up with their Auto Repair Xpress (ARX) locations. The ARX shop says it may take 2 weeks of back and forth with Geico to get my car back. And I'd need to get my own rental since my insurance doesn't cover rentals. My question is, can I use SHOP A and use Geico? Or do I have to go through ARX? How will Geico determine how much they will pay for if they don't inspect my car?

I took a $2,000 medical loan for the root canal, and now DentaQuest is not reimbursing me. They are asking me why I didn’t go to one of their in-network endodontists. The reason is that I was in severe pain, and it took DentaQuest 2-3 weeks to find an endodontist, but they couldn’t find one in time. I eventually had to take out the loan and get the procedure done on my own. Now , still waiting for the DentaQuest reimbursement .

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…

I was rear ended last week while driving my 16-day old 2025 Subaru Outback Premium. The other driver was in a Hertz rental vehicle and his car was 'insured' with his Chase Business Ink Preferred card but that does not include liability insurance, and he does not have personal car insurance otherwise, so he does not have any insurance to cover the damage to my vehicle. He apparently lives fulltime in Israel although I think he is also a New Jersey resident. It is not clear to me how he could legally be driving a rental vehicle without liability insurance or how Hertz rented him a car without it but that is more of a side note since regardless of the circumstances he does not have liability insurance. I spoke with my insurance company, Geico, and they are directing me to go get my car fixed, to pay the deductible, and that they will confirm he is not insured and then pursue him personally through collections if needed. I am still waiting for the Geico coverage team to reach out to me since they apparently want to confirm this isn't a fraudulent claim as the vehicle and insurance are brand new so I am waiting to get the car repaired in the meantime. I did visit the Subaru mechanic earlier in the week and they thought that in addition to replacing the back bumper there is likely damage to the frame based on a visual inspection. Of course, they won't know anything for sure until they open the car up and look. They recommended that I make a claim for Diminished Value since the car is certainly worth a lot less than it was a couple days prior- I haven't even made my first payment on the $35k loan. I asked Geico about a Diminished Value claim but they told me that the claim needs to be filed against the other driver's insurance and that basically it doesn't have anything to do with them. I do have $250k of Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury/Supplementary Uninsured Motorist but apparently that doesn't do me any good (my car and insurance are New York). I have been in contact by text message with the other driver but I'm highly skeptical that he would pay me thousands of dollars out of pocket on top of the other liability that he has since his proposal to me was that I run this all through my insurance and he sends me $500 for the deductible "to make me whole". What are my options moving forward? Do I engage an assessor after the repairs are complete so that I have a record of the diminished value? Maybe it's better that I get a lawyer who has experience with this and can manage the court process for me since this will almost definitely go to small claims court?

I’m currently with Prgrssive insurance I star with them about 3 years ago I’m 27yo. First car insurance with them paid $700 for 6 months the following year they bumped out the price for $850+ for 6 months and this year I got $900 for 6 months. No accident zero report at all why they kept bumping my prices? I’m from New Jersey. I’m thinking of switching insurance and your recommendation or what I need to do to pay around $700 for 6 months if possible, thank you!

i hope this is the right subreddit for this! i just found out that my dietitian for an ed is no longer fully covered by insurance and my weekly appointments are now going to cost 90 dollars. i’m wondering if there’s a way to get insurance to continue to cover? like could i have my primary care physician or psychiatrist refer me to a dietitian? tbf i am not as aware of how insurance works as i should be so i have no idea if its even a possibility. edit for clarity: my insurance has not changed. i live in michigan and use blue cross blue shield. i was unaware that they will only fully cover a certain number of appointments and i have reached that number.

Has anyone else dealt with Progressive refusing to take responsibility for a rear-end domino effect accident with liability insurance, and then being told to fix your car first and wait for reimbursement while they wait for other vehicles to file claims
