I had an ER visit back in Dec 2024 and I got a bill yesterday for 1000$. On my insurance app (MI Medicaid) it says I owe 0$ and the claim was denied but I still got a bill. Am I responsible to pay this bill still? I submitted a claim with my insurance because it was an emergency and at night no urgent cares were open. It’s Sunday so nothing is open and nobody else I can talk to right now. What should I do?

I originally signed up for the Chase $900 bonus approximately 18 months ago, but didn't end up depositing any money into either the checking or savings accounts (ended up not having enough liquidity at the time due to unexpected events). They ended up closing both accounts after 30 days with a $0 balance on both. I confirmed this with a Chase representative on the phone. However, he claimed I was not eligible even though I would appear to technically meet the eligibility criteria (account not closed in the last 90 days; no accounts closed with negative balance in the last 3 years; only allowed to receive one new checking and one new savings account opening bonus every two years from the last coupon enrollment date and only one bonus per account). He claimed that I had closed my account too recently, even though the plain text of the offer would seem to suggest otherwise. Has anyone had any experience with a situation like this? Is there something else I'm missing here as to why I might not be eligible? Will Chase let me know whether I am eligible or not when I open the accounts? Or do I only find out when I end up receiving (or not receiving) the bonuses? Thanks in advance for any advice.

A couple of months ago I was involved in a small fender bender. I turned right leaving a parking lot, which ended up being a right turn only lane and I needed to go straight. Naturally I began the process looking to merge left. The lane to the left was a turn right or go straight lane. I am looking into my left mirror to see if I have space to merge while also seeing which cars are turning right as I would have no other choice but to make the right turn if there was no opportunity, to avoid a T-bone like situation I notice plenty of space behind Vehicle A once they passed me up. As I am looking at my mirror, Vehicle A speeds up and doesn’t have their turn signal on, meaning they should be going straight. I slow down so they can pass me up and all of a sudden Vehicle A decides to make the right turn abruptly as if they were late to something. They did not see me, but I saw the car, beeped, and did my best to turn along with Vehicle A to mitigate any damage. We collided with typical fender bender cosmetic damages. Within 3 minutes between collision and pulling over, the drivers dad shows up out of nowhere and does the majority of the talking for her. He was saying things like “it’s up to you if you think the hassle of going through insurance is worth it” which I took as discouraging going through insurance because they felt they were in the wrong. The cop pulls up and is very quick to deem me at fault without any major details (Vehicle A had police plates lol). Cop gave major attitude when I asked how I can retrieve the traffic camera footage as it captured the incident perfectly. I also was not cited for anything. I was able to retrieve the traffic camera footage and submit as evidence to Vehicle A’s claim. I was on the phone with the adjuster as she reviewed the evidence with me. She told me it was most likely going to be deemed double fault for “unsafe lane change” and the opposing drivers failure to indicate a turn signal which the footage showed. I understood and was told I’d be contacted before a decision was made. The claim was closed mid February and I was never contacted, so I assumed the claim was denied. Today I reached out to the adjuster to verify and was told the case was closed and I was 100% liable for “unsafe lane change”. I inquired as to what caused the change from the double fault I was told about to this, and was completely ignored in the adjusters reply as she just stated that she’d resend the letter. The letter is very minimal and doesn’t mention the cause for liability. I am livid that the driver gets to walk away with nothing on her record for her negligence. I understood no matter what I’d be affected, which I didn’t agree with as the wording makes it seem like I hit Vehicle A as I merged to the left lane when Vehicle A made the right turn that ended up hitting me. Is this just a poor insurance company or is the lack of communication common with insurance claims?

Not your standard switching question, honestly. My partner got a job that offers metlife so our 2 dogs are eligible to switch over to metlife from our current insurance. We have petsbest currently. I already checked and there's no concerns about it being my partners work (and only I am currently on my the petsbest insurance). I spoke with metlife on the phone extensively so I can switch anytime basically, i'm mostly wondering reasons I might want to stay vs not. Both my dogs have quite a few medical conditions and Petsbest has generally done due diligence. I insured my pit mix in Jan 2022 when I got him and they've covered almost everything. (Annual premiums: 2022 was 460, 2023 was 560, 2024 was 725, and this year was 1032. 250 deductible, 90% reimbursement, unlimited level). They denied only one claim. They denied something and considered it alternative. Even tho it's supplied by a teaching hospital, has studies, and the doctor wrote a huge letter explaining why it was the only option for my dog (my dog has multiple concurrent co-morbidities). They still said no. I asked before hand but they wouldn't pre approve and when I said I was concerned bc it was a big bill they just said I could always appeal. I did, and even with a super detailed letter, nothing. However, he has MANY medical conditions- allergies (on apoquel, immunotherapy, regular derm visits), anxiety (on a couple medications), hip dysplasia/OA and IVDD (on meds and may need surgery). So they've more than paid for his medical conditions. Second dog we adopted in Sept 2024 and she was a 500 deductible, 90% reimbursement and 816/yr. Ended up in 12k in bills between emergency surgery, post op complications and follow up labs. They've paid up. We had to appeal one thing but successfully this time. Petsbest has been fine and paid and processed, though slow, which is fine. I'm mostly considering metlife as both dogs are on prescription foods and metlife will cover wellness care. I could get both dogs annual dentals (which i always planned to do, but was considering pushing it out to 1.5 years out when I'll get a better dental price at a new employer), get tick and flea prevention covered! (200 for one dog, 220 for the other). The prescription foods for the dogs run me about 70 every 1.5-2 months. I'm seriously considering it but feel like there may be something I'm missing. The company confirmed they'd cover rx food even tho petsbest doesnt, btw. Same with dental cleanings. These were their quotes and I was planning to go with the most expensive one, tbh: * Family plan: 250 deductible, 90%, unlimited was 2108.92 without wellness  * With wellness: 2938.44 * Family plan: 500 deductible, 90%, unlimited was 1783.25 without wellness  * With wellness: 2469.98 * Family plan: 250 deductible, 80%, unlimited  * with wellness: 2047.84 * Family plan: 500 deductible, 80%, unlimited  * with wellness: 1728.52 Would love any insight and opinions.

Should I file a claim on a plumbing/mold issue in home? Long story short- the stack going to an upstairs bathroom needs to be replaced ($2,500). Realized problem when we found water in basement. Mold remediation will be $3,000. Tile wall will need to come out in bathroom to make repairs. No idea the cost of this cosmetic issue. It’s original 1959 tile, so probably a decent amount of money to take it all out and replace on entire bathroom. Our deductible for homeowners insurance is $3,000. I’ve heard horror stories about insurance denying claims (especially due to plumbing/mold), and policy premium still going up. Also trying to gauge exactly how much our policy goes up even if the claim is handled by home owners. We have the cash to do the repairs. Is it worth it to make the claim and save the money? Or not in the long run? Thanks

I'm filing taxes for the year 2024 and I found out we had marketplace coverage that we didn't know we had. In 2023 my wife began the process of applying for marketplace coverage, but during the process told them she was no longer interested and that she wanted to cancel her application and for them to delete her information. We have now found out that they did not do that and instead completed the application and we were enrolled for the first 3 months of 2024 before my employer health insurance cancelled it. Is there literally anything that I can do? It doesn't seem right that we ended up enrolled for something my wife cancelled midway through the application process. For context, the reason she wanted to cancel was because the representative felt hostile and she had almost fallen prey to a handful of scams, and he kept rushing her to give him her personal information so he could finish. She felt his tone was more in line with scammers rushing marks to get the payoff and tried to terminate the interaction and the application immediately.

Long story short, I was driving home from work in my work truck F150. I had merged lanes to the left after my lane had ended. I was completely in the new lane. Fully stopped when I was rear-ended by a car. Called the cops everyone was OK etc.. Both vehicles had a couple thousand dollars in damage. Luckily there was a witness who stopped and told the police that it looked like it was the other driver who rear-ended me. Call my Insurance tell them the story they tell me I’m at 0% fault. And then about an hour later, they call me back, saying the other driver with no insurance and no license called and filed a claim on my commercial insurance. To my insurance said I was 100% at fault. I proceeded to argue with the progressive insurance claims adjuster. He said that I was 100% at fault for changing lanes. Fast forward when I get the police report. Police report clearly states she is at fault. She rear-ended me she received multiple citations, including improper lane change no license no insurance. I sent the PDF of the police report to progressive and within minutes he called me saying I am at 0% fault. My question is, why did I have to go through all of this thinking I was at fault and worry about rates going up? already installed front back dashcam :)

Was driving on the freeway and a ~2 inch rock came out of their un-tarped trailer and hit my windshield at about 65 mph. They did not have a rear license plate visible. Front registration plate was orange and I believe it to be an Oregon apportioned truck plate. I was not able to get a clear picture of their plate. I spoke to our state police and they gave me a case number for insurance purposes. Went to file a claim with Progressive and it turns out my deductible ($500) is more than replacing the windshield ($388) so they just recommend I pay for it without insurance. Shouldn’t the other truck’s insurance be paying for this?? I don’t know what to do other than pay for the replacement out of pocket and hope to make contact with the other party’s insurance after the fact. He wouldn’t stop as I tried to get his attention but I was able to take some pictures… on the side of the rear trailer is a logo for “The Shaw Group” and some sort of identifying number (T1210xx… censored for this post).

Just like it sounds. I was involved in an accident a month ago. Other person was declared fault. My insurance is handling it well. Unfort, every time the at fault persons insurance calls me and leaves a message, it’s a different adjustor? I’m curious to why that is. I only have 2 from my own insurance calling me, the regular adjustor and the person above him just in case we have more questions or he can’t answer a question himself. I just think it’s wierd that the other insurance company has tons of adjusters and it is annoying. Don’t know how they don’t miscommunication with one another. I honestly tell the other place to talk with my adjustor.

Location: Oklahoma I need some advice and around march I had a bad wreck and totaled my vehicle . I still owe money on my vehicle loan that I don’t have right now, and my insurance company is stating that I need to pay off the loan or give them my vehicle back. The body shop said I did roughly $9000 in damages. But I had 2 different mechanic friends say that they can fix it for $1000 to $2500 max. My plan was buy the vehicle back and get it fixed for around what my friends told me. My insurance company is telling me that I need to pay the loan off or give vehicle back to them before they do anything. I would really like to keep the vehicle and fix it. It seems shady that it would have to go to an impound. What do I do? I have the vehicle at my home right now and I don’t have the funds to pay to have it towed an hour away or an hour back.
