Have an issue with your insurance?
Let everyone know!
Insurance companies are constantly reviewing us. Are we too old? Do we live in the wrong place? Is our credit score high enough? Well, now it's time to turn the tables. Do you charge too much? Will you pay my claim quickly? Is your coverage worse than it seems? We can review you too.
AAA - I'm at fault - bodily injury claim against me
I live in California covered by AAA. Last year, March 2024, I was in an accident. I was found to be at fault. At the time I was sent a letter from AAA telling me that the other driver, who is also covered by AAA, had hired an attorney and that they were asking me to disclose my insurance policy limits. I refused and just let AAA handle it. Just yesterday, over a year later, I recieved a letter from AAA saying that they have recieved a settlement demand for the full amount that my policy will pay out, for bodily injury, and that they are in the process of evaluating the demand. They must respond to the demand by April 24, 2025. They also informed me that should the other driver file a lawsuit against me, they will be providing me with an attorney. I'm currently unemployed and am FAR from being able to pay out should they decide to pursue a lawsuit. I tried calling my insurance adjuster this morning, but of course, they were out and I had to leave a voice mail. My anxiety is sky high waiting to see how this will all play out. Any advice from someone that has gone through something similar would be greatly appreciated.
PetsBest - PetsBest Increase, Anything I Can Do?
I knew this was coming from seeing it happen to others but I got my policy renewal notice and our annual cost went from $347 to $505. I know this is far from the worst increase but it is still annoying. He hasn’t had a claim since 2023 and is only 4 years old. Is there anything I can do or say to them that might get this lowered a bit? I worry what his premium will look like a few years from now if they continue with increases at this level.
I also am bringing home a puppy next month and have been going back and forth about insuring them through PetsBest or trying something new like AKC or Trupanion. Any thoughts on that?
Geico - Am I getting scammed or is this normal?
I posted here a couple days ago about a stolen motorcycle (thank you all for reminding me not to commit fraud) and I called Geico about some questions I had. The told me I could get the collision and comprehensive policy right now, after the theft, and if the person who stole my motorcycle gets into a crash with a stationary object or another car and the motorcyclist is at fault I could be compensated. I got qouted for the coverage and it's $4,717.62! I paid $791.07 originally and the new total will be $5,508.69. I'm assuming since this policy covers the vehicle its more but $4,717.62 is absolutely crazy. I don't think I will be getting the policy at this point because of the depreciation on the bike makes it worth around $8,000 and the insurance would be almost half what the bike is worth. Even at rates of a new rider that seems fairly high. I apologize for the rant,
QUESTION: Is this a normal quote for the policy on a motorcycle or is that something because I am a new rider?
Healthy Paws - Electrochemotherapy and Pet Insurance Coverage
Hello can anyone share if their pet insurance covered electrochemotherapy for their pet? I have healthy paws and inquired and they said it “may be covered” subject to policy rules. However electrochemotherapy is not FDA-approved in the United States and healthy paws policy states they don’t cover non FDA-approved treatments. Just looking for some insight. Thanks.
Geico - Diminished Value Offer from Geico
On June 10th I was rear ended while stopped at a red light by a woman who was texting. She got out and immediately admitted fault and the incident was caught on my dashcam. Now, two months and ~$20k worth of repairs later, I have my car back. I drive a 2024 Kia Sportage, roughly 18.5k miles on it, top of the line trim package. Prior to the accident the car was in perfect condition. Geico (her insurance provider) has offered me $5k in diminished value. Is this worth even bothering with negotiation, or does the little guy always lose?
Aetna - Aetna denied urgent care visit deemed as non urgent
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.
ASPCA Pet Insurance - ASPCA Pet Insurance is a scam! Beware!
After months of insurance I finally needed to go to the vet. Submitted a claim. They wont reimburse anything saying its all pre existing but it never happened before! Beware!
Trupanion - Trupanion 30-day no policy modifications rule -- Has anyone gotten them to fold on this?
I might get flooded with 100 "No, why didn't you read the policy language" comments, but it's worth a shot!
My partner and I have been with Trupanion for four years, and we have a love-hate relationship with it. (But it feels like that's common for most pet insurance providers -as with insurance in general). We have been fortunate to gain more financial stability in the past year and decided we wanted to add "Recovery Care" to our plan. This would raise our monthly premium from $145 to $190, but we decided it was worth it. However, when we reached out to Trupanion via online chat to add this coverage, they let us know that they have a policy that you cannot modify your policy \~at all\~ after 30 days of joining said policy.
This is wild to me because financial circumstances change, and...why would they not want to get more money? Now I'm seriously considering changing providers.
My question, before "jumping ship" from Trupanion is: has anyone gotten them to waiver on this policy? I'm also going to call their customer service line to see if I'd get more traction there compared to the online chat, but I thought I'd ask here too.
Embrace Pet Insurance - Embrace Pet Insurance DENIED Neurological brain scan because of "pre-existing" itchy skin
Ok, this is absolutely insane to me but coming here to see if anyone has any advice or thinks I'm overreacting.
My dog's TLDR background:
* almost 2 years old, GSD mix with cattle dog, pit, husky
* has been exhibiting some intense anxiety (can't take him on walks) and sensitivity to noises (these send him into a panic)
* our trainer noticed he had a head tremor when he was about 5 months old, but my husband and I never noticed it, neither did our first two vets. Our current vet noticed it + an eye tremor about two months ago and recommended we see a neurologist and get an MRI
* Thankfully the MRI showed a normal brain but it did show an inner ear infection
The MRI was almost $5k. I submitted it to Embrace and they DENIED it because they are saying his inner ear infection is related to his itchy skin that he had when we rescued him at 6 weeks old, and therefore falls under his pre-existing condition. The MRI wasn't to identify the ear infection, that's just something that happened to show up. The MRI was for his brain health to see if we could determine why his behavior has gotten so anxious and he's started showing aggression.
I've included screenshots of their "reasoning" and it seems absolutely crazy to me.
Has anyone experienced something similar or have advice on how to proceed?
Blue Cross Blue Shield - Insurance can't give me an estimate because it's hospital billing and not provider billing?
I am getting some MRI's done at a outpatient facility and wanted to get an estimate by my insurance on my copay.
My insurance asked me to get the NPI /taxid for the radiologist that will be doing the MRI so they can get the best estimate.
I have BCBS
I contacted the outpatient facility (NJ imaging network), and they gave me an NPI number but thats the NPI nubmer of the facility.
I asked for NPI number of the radiologist, but they said that they bill under the facility, not the radiologist.
How am I supposed to get an accurate estimate here?
Also by "provider" billing I mean physician billing
