Hey all! Boot me if this isn't the right sub for this, but I wanted to see it anyone else had experience with a situation similar to mine with their AAA pet insurance! Our 18mo Chocolate Lab at a squeaker and needed emergency exploratory surgery after X-rays confirmed a blockage in his small intestine. Some of his intestine was pretty banged up and he ended up having 2ft of bowel removed and resectioned. He then required 36hrs of clinical care after the procedure to ensure he headed in the right direction. This all happened pretty quickly and although I had read my policy completely beforehand, I forgot to seek pre-approval for his care. Their language is a little loosey-goosey about emergency situations, but they do specifically say it is 'required' for surgery, hospitalizations, and claims over $2,500 - this event ticks all three of those boxes. Wanted to see if anyone has had their claim successfully approved in a situation similar to mine, having not sought pre-approval and it being an emergency surgery and hospitalization situation. ANY feedback is helpful! Thank you & pic of the pup who lost to the squeaker and will be toy free for life for tax!

Okay so my cat is almost 2 yo and has no pre-existing conditions, has a primary vet, and is not spayed yet (Plan to, very soon!) I’m looking for a good insurance that covers wellness (mostly blood test and spaying cost?) for the first year and accident&illness for the following years. I have gotten some quotes and is eyeing Odie and MetLife for that, but every insurance seems to have bad reviews, or some would even call them scams. Please provide me some experiences/takes on the insurance you use for your cat, thanks in advance!! This could be really helpful for me ;)) P.S. the reason I want a wellness plan to cover spaying is because there’s no shelter/low cost spaying availability around me and I want to be consistent with my vet :,) my cat went into heat last week and I don’t want this to come back again so really wanna do it sooner.

Hello, Considering a agree value policy for a 2004 Lexus LS via Hagerty. While I was able to get a quote and even approval online with Hagerty, before paying I wanted to talk to them. The wait times were pretty long. Is it a bad idea to deal with them when there is no local agent? Now, those who have agreed value collector car policy with Hagerty, did you do it all online? Or did you go with a local agent if there are local agents for Hagerty? thanks.

I have Aetna with acupuncture coverage. I had seen a provider 6 times, 3 times in 2023 and 3 times in 2024. All of the visits were coded CPT Code 97811 and CPT Code 97810. In 2024, I saw the provider in January, June, and July. For some reason, the visit in June was denied and Aetna said it was experimental. But the provider billed using the exact same code as before and after June 2024. All other claims had been paid. I'm at a stage of appealing this decision. But I'm wondering if anyone has any insights into why a claim would randomly be deemed experimental when it was paid as normal otherwise?

I'm having trouble figuring out what is covered and not covered under this plan.... My dog recently had an anal abscess the size of a kiwi so it needed to be removed immediately. Deductible is $250.00, and I'm just trying to see the benefits coverage but am having the most difficult time navigating the Nationwide Pet Insurance website; it's as if they do not want us finding out what's covered to utilize our insurance to the fullest. With this operation potentially maxing out my deductible, I have some other Wellness things I want to get taken care of, such as dental, or to see if I can do anal expressions every few months. Any insight on coverage?

1. In October 2024,I bought a I Phone 16 max pro from T Mobile store for some other person as he didn’t have address documents and mail ID. I gave my documents for mailing address, mail ID and alternate contact number at T-Mobile store. 2. T- Mobile sold the I phone with a sim and monthly plan of $95. The other person didn’t pay $95 for the recharge after October. He kept using the phone on his home WiFi as the sim was active but with no service. 3. In March 2025 a 3rd party, not T- Mobile sends me an outstanding bill of $588.33 on the T-Mobile plan I took in October. 4. Now my issue is why didn’t T-Mobile inform me through my address Mail or my mail ID or through the alternate contact number that my plan was not being recharged and I am collecting an outstanding. Why a third party is sending a mail on my address to collect outstanding dues on T-Mobile plan. In between I was getting call from the 3rd party that I have an outstanding, I went to the T-Mobile store and asked should I entertain such calls they said it is spam, do not entertain these calls. 5. How should I go about clearing this Issue can anybody advise me on the steps to be taken. It’s concerning as $588.33 is not a small amount.Thank you all.

Located in Oregon, USA Short Term Disability insurance related to parental leave I took parental leave from work in 2024. My job/company is entirely remote, so my employer uses a benefits manager, JW, for payroll and insurance, and a third party administrator, Sparrow, specifically to manage short- or long-term leave, kind of like a concierge service for employees (because rules vary significantly from state to state). I signed the things that Sparrow told me to sign. I was supposed to be paid from the state, from private STD, and topped up by my employer. I didn’t have a STD policy of my own; I was told that my employer took out a STD policy on its employees. Payments were confusing, delayed, and as a new parent I was not paying attention. I didn’t tally things up until recently to do my taxes. I’m missing a 1099 from STD so I called Sparrow, who said go to STD, who said go to JW, who said there was no STD policy for me… but if there was it should be in my W2. Taxes were withheld from STD so I said regardless of how we got here, I need an accurate W2, which is in the works. And it looks like I was overpaid by the STD amount. Lo and behold, today I got a call from the STD company saying my STD claim was denied and submitted for overpayment. I kinda laughed… I’d just been signing paperwork and living my life. How the heck did they approve and pay a claim on a policy that does’t exist? And why did Sparrow/JW request that money? And why was I told it was my company’s policy? So I told the STD company that they can recoup the money from one of the benefits managers. This strikes me as an unenforceable request for repayment from me, but I don’t know what I don’t know and would appreciate any insight about how to navigate this. Thanks in advance.

Normally don't rant except to the company themselves and my circle, but this deserves public comment. We've had insurance for our dog since she was 8 weeks old with Healthy Paws, and she's now 9. Monthly rates have steadily increased and most recent was $86.06. **JUST RECEIVED NOTICE OF INCREASE TO $372.77 PER MONTH!!** Mind you, this is a healthy dog. In 9 years I think we had one small claim. Buyer beware.

I have $2500 in pip coverage and over $30k in medical bills. I’ve only gotten $900 in pip coverage. My lawyer said that is the offer from progressive. Why would I not get the full pip amount? I’ve also lost over $30k in income but my attorney won’t submit income loss.

I just had a pipe bust in my attic that flooded my home for about 40 minutes before it was stopped. It’s ruined the insulation in my attic, all ceilings in 80% of my home, the walls, and the baseboards. The adjuster (farmers) is saying the floors he believes are waterproof vinyl therefore took no damage and can be dried out. When they removed the baseboards i did go around and see the corners of the floors are peeling up and have water under. It is continuous throughout the whole house with no breaks. I tried to google and can’t find anything on this issue, has anybody dealt with this before? Can vinyl floors have no damage under? I’m a new home owner and I have little knowledge in this, thank you in advance!!
