Hello! I have Guardian Dental insurance. I just received a bill where I am responsible for $217 - Guardian only paid $47.00. Services billed were D0120 and D4910 (Periodic Eval and Periodontal Maintenance). I went on my Guardian account and it says that both codes are covered 100%. They are both under preventative and the coinsurance is listed as 100%. "Detailed and extensive oral evaluation (D0160) is not covered. **Oral evaluations, including codes** ***D0120***\*\*, D0145, D0150, D0170, D0180 or D9430, are covered once in any 6 consecutive month period.\*\* The limited oral evaluation - problem focused (D0140) is not included in the frequency limitation or last visit date." "Periodontal maintenance (D4910) is covered under the Basic service category. Adult prophylaxis (D1110) is covered age 12 and over. Prophylaxis (cleaning) (D1110, D1120) or **periodontal maintenance (D4910) is covered once in any 6 consecutive month period."** My date of service was 3/6/25. I have not had any other services in the last six months. My last visit was 9/3/2024. My deductible is $50, "Yes" means waived for preventative. To date, I met the $50 deductible and Remaining is "0". || || |Individual Dental|Out of network|$50.00|Yes|$50.00|0| ||In network|$50.00|Yes|$50.00|0| My deductible is $50 and it says I paid it... and my coinsurance is 100%? So even for preventative services, this means I'm responsible in paying all of my dental care beyond the first $50? My yearly plan limit is $1000. What is even the point of having health insurance? Is this because I got basic coverage instead of full coverage? I guess I'm ignorant and thought that preventive care would be covered. I feel really stupid right now! I tried calling, but they aren't open. Any assistance to help me understand is appreciated.

So…I’ve had Nationwide for my Yorkie since I got him. For five years. They paid 90% which I think is exceptional. In fact, they’ve stopped that practice! He’s had pancreatitis twice, allergies and other expensive issues. Today I received a notice I was being cancelled. I feared it as the bills have been very high. My question is…Now What?? What recommendations do you have? Will a new company accept pre existing conditions? Who pays out the best and the fastest? I appreciate all thoughts! TIA

"I'm working with an agent who recommended Corebridge, but they charged me twice for my annual Term Life payment. After a frustrating experience with customer service trying to fix their mistake, I decided to cancel my policy due to their poor support. Can anyone recommend a better company?"

State Farm raised my insurance from $180 a month to $340 over the span of 6 months. Very little and random explanations. My car is 10 years old, it’s insane. P.s. anyone know of good and not stupid expensive insurance in Los Angeles?

TN/ Progressive So i damaged my car a few weeks ago. My insurance sent my car to a body shop. Body shop had stated needing to disassemble the car but like also needing to wait for a mechanic to do so because if something was wrong the mechanic would need to fix it. Issue is they don’t have an in house mechanic and parts needed to be ordered. The mechanic didn’t come in after parts arrived until a day or two later. Now as they are fixing it, they need other parts ordered. This is quoted to take a whole extra week after 2 weeks with my car only being actually worked on a few days ago. A friend said I should express more frustration and should get some sort of compensation. I’m not sure what kind to expect or from who. I feel like my insurance should have sent my vehicle to a place that would have properly fixed it at the quoted time which was a reasonable time frame. But now it’s quieted for a week later and interfering with tracking I have. Can I get my insurance to pay for a rental e

Location: Seattle, Washington Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice or similar experiences. A few weeks ago, a driver crashed into our house. The impact broke our front door, left insulation exposed, and traumatized my family. My wife witnessed the crash, screamed in panic, and we have video with audio capturing her emotional reaction. Since then, she’s been unable to sleep, cries at loud noises, and constantly fears it could happen again. Our 8-month-old baby was also in the house. While some say “babies don’t remember,” there’s real research showing even infants can be affected by trauma — especially when their caregiver is distressed. We had to cancel a planned international trip in September and also dealt with harassment from a contractor who was supposed to do repairs, adding even more stress. We submitted: • The video showing my wife’s panic • Travel cancellation documents • Research on trauma in infants Despite all of this, Safeco (the driver’s insurer) is only offering $500 for emotional distress. They say we haven’t “proven” our case — even though the trauma is documented and undeniable., no real explanation. Has anyone dealt with Safeco before in a similar situation? Is $500 a typical offer for something like this? What would you consider a fair amount based on the circumstances? Thanks in advance — this situation has been overwhelming for our family, and any insight or shared experience would mean a lot. I used ChatGPT to explain this situation here.

A few weeks ago, my car was hit in my workplace parking lot here in Minnesota. I made a police report and got security footage of the incident. While the footage didn’t directly show the other car making contact, one angle captured the only vehicle near mine, and another angle showed my car rocking from the impact. The police reviewed the footage and agreed that the vehicle likely hit me but noted that we needed to identify the specific car since we didn’t have a license plate. Fortunately, since this happened at my workplace, we were able to find a matching vehicle based on make, model, decals, and wheels. Upon inspecting the suspected car, it had scratches exactly where the damage on my car lined up. While I understand this is circumstantial evidence, it strongly suggests that this is the car that hit me. I filed a claim with their insurance (State Farm) and provided all the evidence. However, I’ve been calling every other day for updates, and State Farm keeps telling me they haven’t been able to reach their policyholder. At this point, I’m stuck waiting with no progress. I’m considering small claims court, but that’s really a last resort since I work with this person, and they’re actually my cubicle neighbor. I’d prefer to resolve this through insurance if possible. For those who have dealt with similar situations—what are my options? Is there anything else I can do to move the claim forward?

Is it even legal for Healthy Paws pet insurance to increase premiums at almost 200% in CA? This is outrageously high!! Anyone experiencing the same? #healthypawspetinsurance

This happened a bit over a year ago. I was driving my girlfriend and her coworker to work and pulled over near the curb to let them out, at the same time another driver starts backing up so I lay on the horn but he hits my car my girlfriend and her coworker both were still in the car when it happened and saw everything. We get out and they are not communicating at all and possibly didn't speak english. Police were called and they didn't show up for over an hour and he eventually started trying to drive off. I follow through for half a block and he stops and backs up into me again. His "son-in-law" came after I guess they called him and he started trying to gaslight me into believing I hit him and theres no proof and that police aren't going to come. LOL. Police eventually pulled up and the other driver started to feign a heart attack or something. They even called the ambulance and the EMT didn't look pleased... I got the police report, report states: **"V1 STATES HE WAS PARKED WHEN V2 WAS REVERSING INTO A PARKING SPOT COLLIDED CAUSING DAMAGE TO FRONT BUMPER. V2 STATES HE WAS TRYING TO TAKE A PARK IN SPOT WHEN HE COLLIDED INTO V1. V2 CLAIMS THAT V1 WAS NOT THERE ARE THE TIME HE WAS REVERSING. V2 DRIVER WAS TRANSPORTED TO BOOTH MEMORIAL FOR CHEST PAINS. PO DIDN'T WITNESS"**. I got the insurance info and drivers info from the police report, called their insurance to make a claim. They instructed me to go to this auto shop and get a quote for damages, went there, the shop said they will call me about the quote. I never heard from the body shop again even after calling them they said they'll send it and never did, the insurance company never again picked up my calls after weeks of calling. I have liability insurance, with Geico and they said to file the claim with their insurance. This is in NYC, the other driver had NY plates but insured by a NJ company "Plymouth Rock Auto Insurance" Due to my girlfriend and I living together, Geico requested me to add her as a secondary driver, I told them she does not even have a license to drive and of course never drive my car. They sent numerous letters and emails about this. Each time I replied online and called in to explain that to them, they acknowledged and I thought that was over. They ended up dropping me, and I didn't even realize for nearly a month and then I was fined by NY for driving without insurance. Paid the penalty and started looking for other insurance. Nobody was willing to cover me due to a gap in coverage, possibly the accident being reported, etc. I was only offered to be insured by GEICO AGAIN LOL. They doubled my rate for liability insurance nearly $400 a month and I've been paying that since. Need advice on how to get what I'm owed for the damages they caused to my car.

Location: Ontario,Canada Background: February 2023, I had been working for three months at a manufacturing shop when a new welder was hired. He came in with no mig tickets, but had 10 years of experiance welding stick. My first mistake was trusting this guy because of his "experiance". My second mistake was agreeing to help him when I was still new to welding. I had my mig tickets at the time, so my foreman asked me to tack up a train part while the new guy held it up. I had everything ready, than I had a gut feeling something bad was about to happen, so I turned around to grab some clamps. He let go of the steel plate... HE LET GO OF THE VERY HEAVY STEEL PLATE! Next thing I know the old guys I work with are rushing over, getting this part out of my boot and off my foot. Yes I was wearing steel toe boots, but the plate feel off the table at an angle and slid under my steel toe plate. The guys ended up sitting me down as I passed out. When I came too, my formen drove me to the hospital where I had to get the bottom of my toe stitched up because the pressure blew the bottom out. Doctor: Imagine your toe is an ice cube. Now smash that ice cube with a hammer, and that's your toe. I whent to work the next day because I'm stupid and figured it would show my dedication to earning an apprenticeship and show them I was willing to work through anything, even pain. The bones in the toe kept spreading, so I ended up getting constant infections causing me to need the first section of my toe removed about 6 months after the initial Injury. After my first surgery I noticed what was left of my toe was turning black and the bone was visible. They tried taking the dead skin off and giving me two stitches unmedicated, but the toe kept dying. I ended up getting the rest of the toe amputated. I've had a C-Section, and I'd much rather have another one, then going through a toe amputation again. That's how much pain I was in. I was off for 10 months. I got paid medical leave through WSIB, but I lost 10 months of hours, 10 months of traning, my tickets expired, they refuse to give me an apprenticeship now, I have to bag for jobs. My question: Do I have the right to compensation? I'm 27, never getting my toe back and my feet are in constant pain. Favoring one foot is causing the other issues. It's a back and forth battle. Because I'm young and have to still work on my feet for the next 40+ years, the doctors don't know how my feet will hold up. I'm not looking forward to the future and my mental health crashed because of all this.
