Looking for updated info — my pet’s annual dental cleaning usually runs **$900–$1,200** (under anesthesia, with X-rays). **Nationwide’s wellness plan used to reimburse for it**, but I just found out that plan is **being discontinued** or no longer offers the same benefit. Most "wellness add-ons" I’ve looked at (like Figo, Spot, etc.) only reimburse **$75 or less** for dental cleanings, which barely makes a dent in the total cost. Has anyone found **a provider that actually covers full dental cleanings** under wellness or medical plans? Either as part of a **preventive package** or through **major dental** coverage?

I got a new puppy (7 weeks old). Got embrace pet insurance that same day. Took her in for her first vet appointment as a good pet owner should about a week later. Obviously this was still during the illness waiting period. But it appeared I had a nice healthy puppy. Turns out she has a heart murmur. First vet graded it as a grade 4 and told me to see a cardiologist. I went and got a second opinion and they graded it as a grade 3 and we are going to watch it and see if it goes away in the next couple months. Anyway, embrace pulled the SOAP notes from the 2 vets and are saying it's not covered as it's a preexisting condition. I plan on appealing it, even going to the California insurance board or whatever it's called if I have to because it seems like that is such BS. I'm being punished for taking my pup to the vet too soon. My question is, what is the best way to word the appeal to the embrace adjuster? It's not right that an 8 week old puppy getting it's very first exam should get that classified as a preexisting condition.

I have Wishbone pet insurance, and they are very slow to response for either. Everyone has been very nice, but my claim just got denied for 6 months after my dog ruptured her CCL. What is frustrating is she had the zoomies on 5/3/2025 and that is when she tore her CCL. My waiting period is 5/9/2025. Am I just out of luck and 5 days is the difference between 3k out of pocket?

I wish I had corn to Reddit in June of 2023 before signing on with BF but I didn’t. So here we are. My last creditor still “in negotiations” is Bank of America and i just received a hand delivered summons today. My enrolled debt for them with BF is $28k and They are suing me for $31k+. I’m waiting for the legal team contracted under BF to write up the response to the summons and the finance team to continue towards a settlement but I am panicking. I read that 90% of the suits BoA peruses goes to default judgement bc the defendant doesn’t answer. Any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated because I obviously cannot afford $31k….

My husband has a herniated disc and possibly arthritis, and we’ve been putting off going to the doctor because we’re confused and stressed about what our insurance (Cigna Wellfleet Student) will actually cover. We’re in Rhode Island. From what we can see, the MRI isn’t fully covered under our plan, and possibly other services aren’t either. A regular doctor visit would cost us about $50 out-of-pocket (not sure about the exact term), which isn’t awful, but feels kind of pointless if we can’t afford to get the necessary tests like MRIs anyway. What’s really throwing us off is that a friend of ours, another student with the *same exact plan*, broke their foot, went to the ER, got an MRI and whatever else was needed, and only ended up paying $100 for the ER visit. That’s it. We’re super confused. We’re also hesitant to call the insurance company because we’re scared they’ll be vague or misleading on purpose, or try to hide what’s actually covered to benefit themselves. We feel really stuck and just want to make the best decision for his health without going broke. Has anyone had experience with Cigna Wellfleet Student plans, especially in RI? Any advice on how to navigate this or what we can do to get clearer answers?

I’m a mechanic and I was test driving a customers vehicle which belonged to a Tree Service company. I pulled out in front of a DHL van and she t boned me. Police were called and a report was filed. Now, I received a letter from Sedgwick saying they reviewed MY claim on the DHL account and denied it. I never filed a claim nor did I give the police my insurance, they wanted the tree service insurance, but I did give them my license. I don’t know if the tree service filed a claim, but why would they send me a letter? Should I respond to this? Is this a scam?

I recently had a claim denied. For context, I lived in VA and had State Farm insurance for several years. Shortly before I moved out of state, my wife lost her engagement ring. I assumed that was just a total loss and didn't think anything else of it until I was setting up insurance in my new state, and they recommended that I talk to my old agent to see if it was covered. I then called my old agent's office in VA, and they told me that I should file a claim because that loss should be covered. Less than 24 hours later I get a call from the claims department saying that my policy does not cover lost jewelry unless it was stolen. To my understanding, having a denied claim can hurt me by causing future premiums to go up or making it more likely for me to be rejected for coverage outright. Is there anything that I can do to fix this given that the only reason that I even filed a claim to begin with was that they told me to do it?

I have recently had a 117% premium increase from Embrace. One of their justifications was the state I lived in, CA. I’m curious what other states have had such egregious increases ( regardless of company).

Hi everyone, I'm on the phone with the claims department at MetLife. After having paid faithfully for my dog's insurance since the night I adopted him for two years, when I finally filed my claims, I've received SIXTEEN CENTS. Two years worth of payments for SIXTEEN CENTS. They are denying part of my claim because they said I need to provide the previous 12 months of medical records of my dog's history before November 2022. The problem? I ADOPTED HIM IN NOVEMBER 2022. I could see if they were confused about that, but they were on the phone with me during the adoption process! I have a second dog, and I have a different insurance through them, and I planned on going with them, but MetLife gave me a good rate, and the rescue was so encouraging that I went with them, against my better judgment. Now I know why- they suck. I am looking for other people who've been asked for the same asinine requirements of producing their adopted dog's previous 12 months of SOAP notes BEFORE you adopted them and were denied for a claim. I'm looking to either send this to my state's AG or see if there's an attorney out there willing to take on a class action. Clearly, MetLife Pet insurance is a scam agency. I've asked them yet again to reimburse me, and I told them this time, if they say no, then I want all my payments returned. It's an easy decision- pay less for my claim, or pay more and give me back all my money. I also told them if they do, I'm willing to return the 16 cent paper check I made them mail me. Thanks.

I have Allstate currently, paying ~$300/month for bare minimum requirements on financed car. Final payment was just drafted, and they sent me renew documents. New monthly premium will be almost $400/month. No accidents, incidents, new drivers, nothing. Everything is exactly the same as when I started the policy. Why would it go up so much? I expected an increase but I feel like this is a lot. I’m a fairly young driver (22) with a newer vehicle, so I know that’s a factor, but I simply can’t afford to pay that much. Is it going up for everyone?
