I recently ran into some medical issues and just got my blood sent in for testing, which my office said they'd run through my insurance. Then today at work my coworker got a call from her doctor saying that her appointment had to be rescheduled or cancelled because her insurance policy came back as having been cancelled. I immediately went to check the status of my insurance and found that it had been "termed" as of a month and a half ago. According to my insurance provider, I have no medical, dental, or vision insurance. My paychecks are still having money pulled for insurance payments and I received no notice of a cancelled plan (checked emails, messages, and physical mail) but when I call my provider they tell me I'm not insured. This is the same for every other coworker I've spoken to this afternoon. I've already reached out to my employer about this and am waiting on a response, but my question is: if my medical bills come back higher because I'm "not insured", am I legally able to make my employer pay for the difference as it's their responsibility to maintain my (and my other coworkers') health insurance?

For context, this is in reference to a claim with American Family homeowners policy in AZ. Long story short, we had a claim for our shower 6 months ago. Contractor gave estimate for $8700 (ish) and I was paid $7700 (ish). Our responsibility is our $1000 deductible. Our contractor is auditing our account to make sure our final bill is correct and he’s saying that O&P was only included on a few line items and not all of the line items. He thinks we are owed more money because it wasn’t properly calculated. The adjuster is saying that O&P is only paid when 3 or more trades are used and we had more than 3, but somehow there is a disconnect and the adjuster is stonewalling him. I don’t know how to approach this situation. We’ve used this contractor before on a previous claim years prior so I trust him and his expertise about insurance claims and what’s “right” and not fraud. And if this is how he deals with other claims, how is it that American family is causing such a headache? I just don’t know what to do. He also thinks that if he was dealing with an experienced adjuster this wouldn’t even have been a discussion and it would have been handled correctly. Any insight would be great. Thank you.

Hi all, years ago my brother was hit by an auto while he was on a bicycle. His auto insurance (State Farm) covered the meds r/t accident and any appointments. Every few years they would send him in for a reevaluation IPE so this time the person that did the Psych evaluation said he was over exaggerating his issues and that even though he has a traumatic brain injury he no longer qualifies to have his medication covered. He deals with/ depression, headaches, insomnia, the only med that is being covered is for his antidepressant. Im not sure how to advise him. Do we go back to the original attorney? Do we fight it? If so, how does that normally play out? My brother's accident happened over 15 years ago. He was not at fault. Even though all of his testing showed significant damage and he has never returned to his baseline, has poor memory, can't think when there are loud noises, and is now doing "manual" work vs. owning a business that he had to give up. Any help would be wond

My 2-year-old husky/rottie mix, Raymond, is insured through HealthyPaws. They have been wonderful- it's $57/month for 90% reimbursement with a $250 deductible. As I'm sure you can guess from his breed, he has had several expensive accidents, especially when he was little. HealthyPaws has covered all of them and saved me thousands. There's also no annual limit. My boyfriend and I live together now, and we want to insure his 8-year-old greyhound/lab mix, Tucker. He's healthy and has no pre-existing conditions. I called HealthyPaws to add him, but they said the only option is $69/month for 50% reimbursement with a $1000 deductible. While looking into other options, I found tons of reviews saying that HealthyPaws significantly increases premiums each year. Now, I'm considering moving Ray too and putting both dogs on a new plan. Despite competitive pricing, it looks like Lemonade is bad about premium hikes too. Trupanion would triple Ray's premium and make Tucker's absolutely ridiculous. Nationwide only offered Tucker a dirt cheap plan that doesn't cover illness. PetsBest gave me a great quote for both dogs, but has mixed reviews about coverage and price hikes. I'd appreciate any recommendations/advice. I'm looking for a company that is able to do 90% reimbursement and a lower deductible for Tucker despite his age, doesn't increase premiums much each year, has no annual limit (or a very high one), and doesn't deny claims for stupid reasons. Add-on riders for routine wellness are a plus as long as the limits are reasonable- we spend $400+ each on Simparica Trio each year, and their annual exams are pricey.

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?

Hello, We've had Trupanion a few years and it's an excellent product; we don't appreciate the way their representatives do business at times. Is there another business doing coverage that pays vets directly, when going to a participating vet, for accidents? Trupanion doesn't cover wellness and that's fine. There are some in the UK, hopefully the states catches upR

So basically, I left a complex a month before my lease was up because we bought a house. The complex was aware we were leaving before the lease was up. Upon leaving, we knew we would be billed for carpet and we made them aware our renter’s insurance would issue a check to cover majority of the balance and we would cover the remainder. Well, my renter’s insurance issued a check and they sent the entire balance to collections like within a week of the check being issued. They stated they never received the first check after I escalated the issue to their district office. The insurance company issued a second check. They apparently never received that one either. Insurance company ended up issuing payment directly to me so I could get the balance settled. Payment was put in their hand February 18th. I got a notification this morning that they reported the entire balance to collections as paid. The district manager stated that she halted the collections process and was working with me for getting payment settled. I emailed her this morning about the collection reported. Is there anything I can/need to do legally? I’m just frustrated because it feels like they deliberately tossed the checks and reported the balance to collections because they’ve done the same thing to previous renters. I just want to know if there’s anything i need to do to pursue them legally or if contacting the credit bureau is the easiest solution.

I’ve been a loyal Healthy Paws customer for 13 and a half years—since the day I brought my puppy Bellah home. Over the years, I’ve paid thousands of dollars into this policy with the trust and belief that when the time came—especially in her final stages of life—Healthy Paws would be there for us. Instead, with no prior notice, Bellah’s monthly premium has been raised from $250 to nearly $800. At nearly 14 years old, with limited time left, my dog is being priced out of her coverage when she needs it most. I’ve called. I’ve waited. I’ve been hung up on. I’ve sat on hold for hours, only to speak to customer service reps who are either powerless or unwilling to help. Not a single person has shown any compassion or even attempted to work with me. I wasn’t expecting a miracle—but I did expect humanity. Bellah is not just a pet—she is family. And now, in what should be her most peaceful time, she is being made into a financial burden. After over a decade of loyalty, this is the treatment we’ve received: silence, indifference, and a quadrupled premium. Healthy Paws, this is not how we honor the animals who have given us their unconditional love. This is not dignity. This is not care. This is not right.

I was involved in an accident where a truck ran a red light and hit me. Their insurance totaled my car. I feel the offer they are willing to pay me for the total loss of my car is low balled. Is there any room for negotiating with insurance companies or do I have to accept what they offer? Anyone have experience with in this matter. The insurance is State Farm.

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
