I looked online for a quote for pet insurance and the people at RSPCA have called twice already trying to get me as a customer and when I say no because I wanna look around at other options… they ask if I wanna sign up until I change my mind and then cancel So annoying Does this happen to anyone else ?

I ran the same quote three times and I keep getting different numbers. One quote said $300, the other said $330 and then I get an email saying it’s $196. What’s going on here?

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

Hi! I took the SBMA MEC for just about a few months in late 2024 with a new job I started. I went to the doctors on November 12th and also received bloodwork but later I received a bill for $2000 for the bloodwork and $1265 for the Physician Office Visit. I am wondering if Minimal Essential Coverage doesn’t cover basic bloodwork? Last I was told, Labcorp was waiting to hear back from SBMA for covering the services but I guess the insurance never got back to them and I’m stuck with this bill :/ I will be contacting SBMA again and also Labcorp to see what I can do.

I’m looking for employment in the financial sector and I got on a zoom call with a financial services company, companies name is Axium. They’re an independent broker using Primerica as their custodian. He kind of explained they’re like a marketplace for financial products now . 401(k)s, annuities, mutual funds, even rocket mortgage. As well as life insurance. But I have concerns because I’m a child of the 90s and I remember Primerica having a bad rap. Seems like they don’t have the same practices they used to. But I’m wondering if it’s worth it to take this employment, and if I’m just making something out of nothing. Does anyone have firsthand experience with Primerica as a client or employee?

I am a SF policyholder that was rear ended by an AllState customer. I opened a claim with SF because I wasn’t sure of the Allstate customers limits and also wanted to use my PIP coverage from SF versus dealing with Allstate. That was an incredibly bad decision on my part. Allstate has done an OUTSTANDING job of handling my claim even though I am not a customer. They paid for 21 days of rental car within two days of me submitting my receipt. Allstate has been responsive by email and phone. SF on the other hand has been the worst customer service experience I have ever had. No response to emails, calls are routed to first line customer service that has zero knowledge and just submits a request or ticket to the actual claims handlers. My medical bills are going unpaid and now into collections, the hospital claim is sitting unhandled and the subrogation on the body damage is somewhere out in the ether waiting for one of the mystery claims handlers I can’t contact to handle. Jesus, my first claim with SF in over 30 years of being a policyholder and they treat my like a red headed step child and Allstate, who has no customer relationship with me, is johnny on the spot. What a sad state of affairs that is SF. I have no idea how to get SF to move and handle their responsibilities short of a complaint to the Insurance commission. Is this the way it is with SF now?

I adopted a cat just under a year ago now. She is a domestic shorthair and will be two years old this April. While she hasn’t had any major issues yet, I grew up with family pets and know it’s only a matter of time before I end up with a $1000+ vet bill. I’ve been looking at pet insurance companies and reviews and none of them seem good? Either everyone seems to have major complaints about every single one or their coverage is really weird. I’m still going to get one, especially since I believe my cat is starting to develop gingivitis and as far as I’m aware, it hasn’t been noted by the vet, so I’m hoping it won’t be counted as a pre-existing condition. I was originally interested in SPOT but then saw that a bunch of people said they were a scam, so I started looking into others. The top three I’ve been debating between: Fetch, trupanion, and nationwide. I really like the price and coverage of Fetch, but I’ve seen a mix of both bad and good reviews on them. If anyone has any good/bad experiences I’d appreciate it, especially with cost/coverage changing as your pet gets older. Then there’s trupanion, which I love that they claim to not increase the price as your pet gets older, but I’m unsure about their deductible since it’s per condition instead of annually. It seems great for pets that develop chronic conditions, but maybe not great for illnesses and accidents that I’m assuming would each fall under their own “condition” and thus leave you stuck paying the deductible every single time. If anyone can shed some light on this I’d appreciate it. Last, nationwide was recommended to me by my sisters friends. For around the same price as trupanion, their coverage includes additional things like dental cleaning, wellness, exam fees, etc. I’m just worried about the price hike that might occur as my cat gets older. Please give any recommendations and/or experiences, either with these three or with other insurances you’ve used ♥️

Hi, our new 2024 Tesla Model Y LR was declared totaled by Tesla Insurance and they are valuing the car at $39,451, which we don't think is fair. We bought the car in mid-Aug 2024, had only put 1316 miles before we were involved in a crash on Dec 03, 2024. We were at fault party (there was no other party involved) , so we filed a claim with our Auto Insurance which is from Tesla Insurance. We are in Fairfax, VA, but the valuation report uses for reference a similar Tesla in Apopka, FL, \~ 1000 miles away !. Btw list price of the Apopka, FL was $ 40,900 and it had 3904 miles on it. Also they have listed the Vehicle Condition as Good/Well Maintained across different areas. We do not know the scale Audatex (3rd party company who provided the valuation report) uses but our car was impeccably maintained and its condition was 'Excellent'. Need advice on how to fight back. Thanks. # From the Valuation Report: **Vehicle Condition** * Seats: Good * Carpets: Good * Int Trim: Good * Glass: Good * Headliner: Good * Body: Good * Paint: Good * Ext Trim: Good * Engine: Well Maintained * Transmission: Well Maintained * Front Tires: Good * Rear Tires: Good **Valuation Details:** * Price ( Comparable Vehicle, Apopka, FL) : $ 38,501 * Odometer Adjustmentd : $270 * Tow Hitch Package : $ 680 * TOTAL: 39,451 **Adjustments of Special Note** * An odometer adjustment of $0.1050 cents per mile/kilometer has been applied. This adjustment is based on the vehicle year, vehicle category and market area. Odometer adjustments are capped at 40% of the vehicle's starting value. * Typical miles for this 2024 Tesla Model Y in Virginia is 20,999. * No special adjustments were made for this vehicle. * All values are in U.S. dollars.

I was in an accident many years ago in Michigan. I was told I had medical coverage for life for my injuries through AAA car insurance. I now live in another state and need a surgery related to the accident. I re-opened my old claim and spoke with an adjuster. She said due to the no-fault laws, she would send a billable letter to the doctor so they can bill them direct, but that they don't do pre-approvals guaranteeing any payment, and that I can't pay direct and get reimbursed either. My problem is, no one in my state is at all familiar with this and no one will accept a 'billable letter' or willing to even consider billing a car insurance company. I would gladly pay out of pocket if I could get reimbursed, but AAA says that's not allowed and they wouldn't reimburse me in that case. Am I missing something here? Is there a way to make this work or is it just a way the insurance company has found to make it nearly impossible to actually use the coverage?

In April 2024, I had a couple of procedures done, such as fillings, cleanings, root canals, and crowns. I was pregnant at the time, so I had to delay the crowning, but I had the imprints done beforehand. At my consultation appointment in April, my dentist reviewed the treatment plan and the costs. I knew that I would have to pay out of pocket for some of these procedures. When I went in for my first filling and root canal appointment, the office told me that my dental insurance didn't cover some of the costs. I knew this and was okay with whatever the updated pricing was. Paid $606 for the first appointment, and went on with my life. At the second appointment in May, I went in for the crown imprint, and at this appointment, I paid off the remainder of the treatment plan cost before I even got the services done (with the updated pricing that my EOB said wasn't covered). I paid $552 out of pocket. Several months later, in April of 2025, I kept on getting these calls with no sensible voice messages saying "this is a debt collector". No effort was made by my dentist over the year to let me know of this balance. I checked my dental insurance claims, and the claim was rejected for code D3910, which I knew was already rejected when I went in for my last appointment. Now I am confused why my dentist is saying that the insurance rejected it when I already paid off my balance. What should I do, and am I liable for the debt? Should I speak to the debt collector or the dental office? This was in California, and the insurance is with United Concordia. Not sure if this matters.
