Long story short. February 12th, Progressive sent me an email saying if I don’t pay the minimum that on the 28th they would cancel my insurance BUT on February 14, they sent an email saying that they had already canceled my policy on the 3rd… They still want me to pay a full month’s bill for insurance I had for only 2 days. HECK NO. I had been fighting a case to get money back for a certain reason & they assured me that everything would work out. Apparently whoever was looking into my case, denied it (okay fine… sure) & then for some bizarre reason took it upon themselves to believe that because it was denied I wouldn’t want insurance anymore? So they canceled it themselves. Yes, I was on the phone with them about 3hrs. They all said there’s nothing that can be done but that an agent shouldn’t have the power to cancel one’s policy. If I don’t pay, it goes to collections. So why did he? How do I fight this? Please help. Thank you in advance <3

Hi! Thought id share my experience with my cat! He is 4yr - i have had Trupanion since i adopted him a year+ ago. He had no pre-existing conditions. I specifically asked agent of dental was covered and they said yes. He has been to the vet a couple times - first time visit, ear infection, worms from new kitten we got, etc. The vet has briefly checked his teeth previously and said a little tartar but overall healthy gums. Friend got a new cat so was asking about my policy - reading the “fine print” is that dental doesn’t kick in until first post-insurance dental/oral examination. I immediately emailed and asked that his dental coverage has kicked in - they said no because they have no notes from vet. I said she probably didn’t note because there was nothing of note…asked if i got her to confirm they could put into effect retroactively. They said yes. Vet sent over full records to them - vet “briefly” checked mouth with said assessment on 12/11/24. They said it will take a couple days to process but will get back to me. Still waiting and can update but wanted to just flag!!! I also checked because he may have some mouth issues that i flagged to vet a couple weeks ago (still undetermined) but glad i did because i could see their potential denial saying “he didn’t have an oral exam prior blah blah blah.” Anyway TLDR - check the fine print!! They are so sneaky and if they fight me on this i will probably cancel.

They have declined every single submission I have made, saying out of network on everything (including doctors that are on their list). They won't even apply out of network payments I have made myself towards deductible. The insurance is a joke, I have to resubmit everything multiple times. I've been a massive fan of ACA till now (blue cross, Capital, etc). Is there anyway to get out of this insurance?

My dog has been with Trupanion for 5 years. She was healthy as a horse when we switched her, so I thought we were in the clear for no pre-existing conditions. Obviously, naive. Anyways, they are rejecting all tooth extraction claims because a vet wrote "mild tartar" one time in her records 5 years ago. The vet never said anything to us about her teeth until this year, when they told us she needed extractions due to bone loss in her jaw. The vet says it should be covered, but they rejected the claim and I am not holding out hope for the appeal. I am considering switching her to AKC. They won't cover her teeth either - but I can get a high-deductible plan with hereditary plus coverage for $70 per month. It would cover pre-existing conditions after 365 days, according to the person I spoke with. So I could save over $30 per month, that could go towards her inevitable future extractions. My thinking is that I now understand that the insurance companies can turn anything into a pre-existing condition post-hoc. I don't trust Trupanion to not do that again. At least with AKC, they cover pre-existing conditions so if she ever got cancer on her ear, for example, it wouldn't be excluded just because she had an ear infection in 2020. Is this thinking sound? Has anyone switched to AKC and could give some advice? https://preview.redd.it/8r3nxzh7yqke1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5bdb9dc183f9cb9d286aec2404203e53dbdbe5cc

Has anyone subscribed to a Metlife cat insurance lately and selected the preventive care plan (375/575)? Are the individual limits (dental, Microchip, etc)clearly outlined in the policy packet? I bought a plan for my cat in March 2024, and there was no such limit (so the preventive care limit for a dental cleaning was the same as the original policy limit). I guess they were the only one to do that and they aligned with most other insurances.

So I just got a 37% increase this year and this is now a 77% over two years. Based on the cost increases in my area for Vet care. This is what they said: We recently reviewed the data for similar pets in your area, and we found that the average cost and use of veterinary care has increased. To ensure that Geena always has access to the best veterinary care possible, we’ll be changing Geena's monthly cost from $302.79 to $413.04 starting on August 17, 2025. Trupanion is unique in that we never increase your monthly cost because you’ve submitted an invoice or because your pet ages. When I called them they said there are many factors that go into this cost one of them is the increased cost of vet care for an older dog. So they do not increase for cost because your dog is older but they do increase your cost because and older dog vet cost are higher. Don't you love insurance companies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bought our townhome 3 years ago, had home inspection, etc. Home was built in 2011. Ryan Homes, should have known as they are known for being built terribly. Fast forward to now, looks like the corners of most window frames (wooden part) are rotting away. Again, this house was built in 2011! I now see when we bought it, the owners must have had the defects covered up with caulk and paint etc. Is this something home insurance would fix? I'm sure the building warranty is expired since it's been more than 10 years since it was built.

I went in for my sterilization a few weeks ago and was SO excited to finally have it done. I have BCBS and my doctor's office said that insurance will cover the procedure 100%. But when I got to the hospital they said it would cost $10,000 because the hospital is not in network. Is the hospital correct on this or do I need to contest it because my insurance is ACA compliant? Can I contest it before the surgery so I'm not potentially stuck with a stupid huge bill?

Not sure this belongs here because it's not car/home etc. but I had a weird experience with travel insurance on my credit card. My wife and I were headed for a wedding then she got covid a few days ahead, so I put in a claim for the nonrefundable hotel. When nothing happened with the claim over a couple weeks I called their customer service number and was told that the claim required a signed doctor's note saying that we were unable to travel. We \*weren't\* unable to travel so I just gave up. Now, sometime later, I get a notice that they're paying the claim. The only explanation I can think of, since what they said on the phone seems to match the published benefits, is that the claim was so small that they decided to pay anyway, perhaps to help metrics of some sort. Is this a thing? I really don't see in retrospect why they would pay if they didn't absolutely have to, although I will admit that my feelings about the credit card (on which we spend a lot of money) were souring. Perhaps it was just a courtesy? Anyone know how this works in practice? I'm trying to figure out to what extent I should really trust this credit card.

I am so lost. Three days I received a call letting me know that an accident I had been in over a week ago was deemed to be the other party’s responsibility, and I was set up with the collision center and rental car. Today I receive a call that the claim the other driver made on my policy was found to be inconclusive, therefore they are now saying it’s word vs word and we both are liable???? They asked several of the same questions I had already explained to them. I told them the police did not arrive because I live in a high acuity city which is understandable. I even went to the police department after and they said in Texas they are not required to file a report “anymore”. I left feeling okay since I had pictures and explaining the accident would surely lead to the right solution! i was not at fault at all! 1. Why would they look at this as two separate claims? ( We both have Geico so I thought this would make it easier????) 2. Can they really go back on their word? I asked to
