i went to urgent care to get HIV PEP pills. Which must be taken within 72 hours of a potential exposure. i payed my $10 copay and They prescribed me the medicine where I was able to get my medication at the pharmacy that was covered by Aetna. But when I checked they fully denied my visit when I called she said the visit was not urgent. i told her I want to do an appeal. But im Absolutely disgusted by Aetna im already traumatized. i feel this needs to reported but I don't know which agency I would need to reach out too.

I was hoping someone might have some insight on pet insurance. I have a 2 yo pit bull who, in the last year, started limping. (At this point, we did not have pet insurance) In May of this year, we took him to our vet and they did X-rays and said most likely he has a partial tear in his ACL, however he couldn’t really tell in the X-ray because he wouldn’t stop wiggling for the pictures lol. Fast forward 6 months, he has a hard time getting around now on both legs because he’s over compensating with the other leg which I was told would more than likely happen. I plan to get the surgery for him asap. We got Pets best insurance a month later after his appointment in May and we are just about at the “6-month waiting period.” I’ve never dealt with pet insurance before. I am familiar with the fact they don’t cover “pre-existing conditions.” I fear that when we go back in January for a new consult that the insurance isn’t going to cover his surgery because we stupidly took him to the vet prior to getting insurance. I guess my question is, has anyone dealt with pets best insurance for this type of situation? How were they? Also, would anyone recommend a different insurance company? I know there are a select few that cover pre existing conditions. I feel like I totally screwed myself taking him to the vet for this before getting insurance. He’s only two and I refuse to let him suffer his whole life because of this. Thanks for any advice in advance. Picture for attention ❤️

I have Geico. My premium shot up another $150 yet again for a 6mo period. They blame NYS, but this has been the norm for them since joining them in Apr '21. I want to shop around for full coverage insurance for my car, but unsure of who's even "affordable" anymore. For those in NYS who switched off of Geico, which company did you end up going with? Did they provide similar coverage at a cheaper cost?

So I recently opened a new policy with GEICO for my car. A few days after opening the policy(march 2025), they added a driver without contacting me or giving me any notification. That alone increased my premium $450. The driver that was added is my GF that doesn’t live in my household or is licensed to drive(never got a DL). They claim I added her in a quote but i didn’t quote with them since ~Nov-Dec 2024(she visited during this time and left in Jan)I know you’re supposed to include any person in the household in a policy due to liability but I’m currently living alone. GEICO also claimed that they use “DMV records” to add drivers to policy on behalf of the customers if we didn’t do it already. That couldn’t be the case since my GF had no affiliation with the DMV in my state. Any advice on this matter would be appreciated

When the adjuster was going over the fact that their car was going to be a total loss, a 2022 Kia Sorento, that they were valuing at $34,000, $9000 over my limit. I hit them doing like 7 miles an hour, but it must have done frame damage... I just didn't see them, and t-boned them as they were making a left turn, while I was trying to make a left turn. They told me that they were going to have them file a claim against their own insurance, and its "progressive versus progressive; so, it's not like they're going to fight it", and to not worry about it. I'm not about to get blindsided with a $9,000 past due bill after being told to, "not worry about it", am I?

I wanted to share my experience, as reading other people’s stories on reddit is what made me go with this company and i’m so glad I did. I’d heard lots of good reviews, and my partner had no issues with reimbursement with PetsPlusUs so I decided to try them out for my dog and cat. After my cat had surgery to remove an obstruction, they paid me back the exact amount I expected to be reimbursed, and it was very straightforward! I even forgot to update my address for my insurance so it didn’t match the bill, and it was fine (I think partially because I only moved 5 minutes away so my premiums weren’t affected). The only slight annoyance was I needed to give them ALL vet records, and they wouldn’t process my claim until I did (so please keep all your pet records safely in one place), but I suspect the same would be true for all pet insurance companies. My cat is about 1.5 years old, and her insurance is $35 a month and they repaid $2,100, so it’s been absolutely worth the money. While at the ER, a dog came in that was hit by a car and trupanion wouldn’t cover a penny. I overheard the staff talking about how terrible trupanion is for repayment (and its way more expensive than pets plus us).

I use Allstate, and currently have two cars on my policy, and am happy with my rate. I just traded one of the cars in for basically the same car, but the smaller version with fewer options (mostly luxuries, it has all the safety features). It is worth about $3,000 less than the car I traded in. When I called to make the change. They told me it will double my premium. No changes to any aspect of the policy, coverages, etc. A less valuable car. I cannot find a single reason my premium would increase at all, much less double. Anyone have any ideas? UPDATE: Thank you all for your input. I’ll never know the answer to what they were thinking because I immediately called another (well known, reputable) company and within 15 minutes had a new policy that’s 30% less than my ORIGINAL policy was. UPDATE 2: To the people who are digging in on “statistically it must just be more expensive to insure,” just…no. Aside from the obvious fact that no significant differences exist from one year to t

HI, guys! I never posted on Reddit, need your advice badly...A few years ago I signed up with Merrill Edge IRA, because I was with Bank of America. They were very pursvasive how great it is to have 401K with them. I rolled over some 401K money from my previous jobs, opned account. In the beginning I was contributing certain amount per month automatically, then started to get calls about needing to login, verufy my info ect. I called them last year and verified, my info is correct (home address and work address). I was filing taxes this year and tax person asked me if I contributed to my personal IRA, because it would help with my return. I decided to verify with Merrill Edge, loged in to my account and the nightmare started. I found out YESTERDAY they CLOSED my account back in January this year (no notification received), and issued a check with all my savings also hit me with early withdraw fine. They send check to my WORK instead of home address (???). Mind you my work is a large hospital, and address was provided as a generic, not addressed to accounting, HR, or specific person. When I called Merrill Edge, they first said they will cancel the payment on this check and will issue another. Next phone called I was told by Merrill my check was "cashed" at PNC bank (I have no account there), on certain date in March this year. By WHO???? My guess would be someone opened a letter from them at my work, saw the check and somehow chased/deposited it. But how this person could do this without ID? I dont even know what particular branch of PNC it was cashed, and PNC doesnt want to talk to me. I am shocked...It was substantial amount of money, I dont even know what to begin with. Lawer? Police? Pls help with advise!!

The facts: I am a RENTER I Rented a unit in Chicago that is a fully furnished basement “garden level” unit Lease Term: 2 Months Fully Furnished Unit Day of Loss: July 7th 9 to 12pm Insurance: Assurant What the Insurance has stated: Please refer to your policy language: SECTION I – EXCLUSIONS Water Damage, meaning: a. Flood, including but not limited to flash flood, surface water, waves, including tidal wave and tsunami, tides, tidal water, overflow of any body of water, or spray from any of these, all whether or not driven by wind, including storm surge; As far as you loss of use per your policy language: If a loss by a Peril Insured Against under this policy to covered property or the building containing the property makes the “residence premises” not fit to live in, we cover the Additional Living Expense. At this time the preliminary findings for the cause of loss is not a covered peril. I will further investigate claim and follow up w/ you regarding the status. I also left a voice message on your voice mail. I read all of this - The Owner of the property that I am renting from said that the Plumbers Official Report was that the water was sewage water and it came from the toilets. For context the water rushing into my place was what woke me up and I woke up in a panic to put all belongings on spaces that are high enough for them not to be damaged. The unit has been deemed uninhabitable by the Owners insurance and I do not have a home at the moment. AS of today my hotel stay has ended and I am down about 2k for trying to staying here. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I do not want to be homeless in less than 24 hours.

I want to rollover my Fidelity Traditional IRA to my current 401k plan at TRP. TRP requires that incoming rollovers be done via a letter & and check made out to and mailed to me, that I must then mail to TRP. When I called Fidelity to request the check and letter, the rep I spoke to was frankly, shocked, and highly discouraged doing rollover via check and recommended I ask TRP to do a direct rollover instead. (I did, and they said no.) I am so frustrated that TRP is so outdated, and to be honest, the Fidelity rep’s reaction has made me nervous that something will go wrong. She sounded like they never do it this way anymore, and had to transfer me several times to get to someone who could confirm that they could even write a check & letter according to the specifications from TRP, and said that the request was very unusual. These people handle rollovers every day- is TRP the only one that does it this way? I much prefer Fidelity, and the only reason I want to do this is to open up the option to make backdoor Roth contributions in the future. (The traditional IRA only exists because I rolled over my prior employer plan to it years ago before I knew what I was doing). That being said, I currently am not yet at the income limit for Roth IRA contributions, but I expect (hope) to be there in 5-10 years. I wanted to roll over now to get it over with & because I know not all plans allow an IRA to 401k (reverse) rollover, and I don’t know if I’ll be with the same company when it comes time for me to begin backdoor Roth. Am I overthinking it in either direction? Should I just suck it up and do the indirect rollover (and not sleep for weeks until I see the funds cleared)? Or am I thinking way too far ahead about backdoor Roth and should just leave things as they are? (Or just complain in solidarity with me that TRP is super annoying and out of date with their rollover process - has anyone else experienced this?) Edit: I have been informed in the comments that if the check is made out to “TRP FBO my name” it is considered a direct rollover, which is great.
