First of all thank you for reading. With how many buggers I have is there a pet insurance out there that wont charge a arm and a leg & actually have decent things to offer? And possibly not drive the price up every year 😭 I have 7 cats. 4 are about a year old, one is 3, another is 1 and another i really have no clue but she's roughly 1-3 because she randomly showed up on our porch a few months back. 2 girls, the rest are boys. With that said, I have thought about insurance since I got the 4 kittens last year, I kept seeing Lemonade ads at the time and I never knew about pet insurance before then. I was on the fence because of the mixed online reviews. My first thought was that insurance is definitely a scam. Why pay them when they aren't even likely to accept my claim? Then I saw the vetanarian access was appealing, not sure if it's worth it though. Im not having a single issue with anyone currently, I just have seen people say they get quoted $90 for elderly pets... but some say they got their rates locked in at like $10 a month just because they registered when their pet was a baby. I don't know if the better option would be a personal savings or pet insurance. I was quoted $14-$16 a month per cat for Spot & Fetch.

I’m looking for a new dentist and almost every dentist I calls either is out of network for Anthem or isn’t accepting new patients. I have an HSA account so I have the funds to cover any fees that I might need to pay currently but I’m unsure moving forward if I should just drop my dental insurance and just move to a dentist that I like? I need some crown work currently so I could get that work done before dropping insurance but otherwise I just need regular cleanings and an occasional filling here and there.

Hey all, I'm looking for advice on an issue that's been bugging me. I went to the orthodontist office regarding wisdom teeth extraction (in network). They already charged me a $200 consultation fee (This, I know isn't covered by my insurance). They told me my insurance isn't covered and that I can pay upfront and they can send a claim to my insurance and if it's covered they'll reimburse me. So I paid upfront, did my surgery and healed. 12 days later, I called my insurance for a follow up and I found out that there was no claim filed. And in fact my insurance DOES cover the extraction and bone graft. Im only supposed to pay 20% while insurance covers 80%. So we called the orthodontist office and told them they need to file a claim because they're in network. The front clerk basically said she'd relay the message to the billing team. Few days later, no claim was made yet. Best believe I called every single day until the matter was fixed. So finally I see a claim that they've made after 2 weeks of constant back and forth. Take in mind, I paid $5,356 out of pocket. My charges were $5,000 for TWO bone graft. $268 for the extractions and $88 for the anesthesia l'm assuming because it says "Ir". They filed a claim for $5,000, I immediately called my insurance to find out what they filed for. Apparently they filed for a completely different treatment than what l've done. And guess what? Whatever they filed for isn't even covered by my insurance. I definitely feel like this office is trying to rob me and get away their fraudulent behaviors. I spoke with the oral surgery department from my insurance and he called them today, confirmed my treatment with them and told them they need to submit a new claim for the correct treatment. Insurance told me to give it a week, if nothing is done, call them back and file a formal complaint. Will this do anything? I'm anxious and I just want my money back. I learned my lesson 100% and will NEVER pay upfront for something that should be covered by my insurance.

Hello! I have a 4 year old dog and I am looking to change my policy from healthy paws. I think they're great but I hate that I have to pay for yearly vaccinations/checkups and dont get re imbursed. Any recommendations for a good insurance that has a low deductible and will reimburse annual exams which include vaccinations, possible dental care and flea meds? Thanks in advance!

I was in an accident that wasn't my fault (other party received a summons), I called my insurer (state farm) to report it and begin the repair process. I was told by SF rep that I shouldn't have called them. I should have gone directly to the other party's insurance so I wouldn't have a claim on my record. I'd always thought my insurance company just worked it out with the other company. Am I wrong?

I am trying to understand my Farmers insurance homeowners liability coverage and farmers isn’t being helpful at all. Basically what happened is while my wife and I were out of the country, my child accidentally kicked my sprinkler line near the drip system and broke it. Long story short, it flooded a room in my neighbors home over about a 7 day period. They just kept mopping it up and hoping it would stop. I’m not sure why they let it go on for that long but they did. Anyway it ruined some of the floor and caused some moisture to settle into the drywall. It was about a 15 ft x 15 ft area of water damage. Will my homeowners liability insurance cover the water damage in this situation?

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

I was just notified by Amica they will be dropping me in June due to having 2 previous claims in 2022 and 2023. Both were from individual pipe bursts Amica fixed. I’ve resolved further issues by paying out of pocket to repipe the entire house in 2024. Amica was aware of the re-piping but was still not interested in keeping me on. I do not live in a fire zone. I’ve been told no by several insurance companies stating because i’ve had water damage claims, I’m ineligible for their coverage, even though I’ve completely repiped my home last year. I have tried working with two different independent insurance brokers, both haven’t had success. One found a home policy for $18,000/year. Not including auto and umbrella. I was paying $4500 all in. Anyone have any luck getting coverage in a similar situation as me, with previous claims? I’d love to avoid CFP and DIC if possible. Thanks

My mom was checking her and dad's bank statements and for some reason they're being charged by First Enroll but mom says that that isn't the insurance company they use. Any clue why this would be happening? Is some type of scam or fraud? Just so you know, I know almost nothing about how insurance works so sorry if I seem stupid.

Hey denied my cat’s mycoplasma diagnosis because his first vet record shows he was sneezing (self report by us.) however, he is a Persian and they tend to sneeze for no reason. The sneezing he was doing when he got sick was WAY different than just a smelling around sneeze. Now they’re saying it’s a preexisting condition when it’s not! (It was a bacterial infection, he didn’t have it when we got him for sure). We got him in December and he got his cold in February. I’m so upset and really regretting getting Lemonade
