my car was stolen 2 weeks ago and the insurance company is considering it a total loss. this is fine, but they are offering me 13500 for my 2019 subaru 2.i0 premium sedan with roughly 91000 miles. it had 3 month old tires and a new battery. the issue im running in to is there are 0 of this car available within 150 miles of me with similar milleage. but when i look nationally it is showing they are shorting me about 2000, which would pay off my loan. im afraid getting an adjuster involved will cost me too much and not be worth it. any advice for fighting their appraisal? they couldnt do a fully accurate appraisal because they dont have the car. i asked to see their comparables, because if theres nothing local what are they comparing it to?

Accident Location: USA, florida (my residence and my driver license is central usa) i once had a car accident while driving rental car in florida Rental car's insurance company charged me for Diminished Value and say if i don't pay that they will get to some florida state's govt agency and take away my driver's license. What are they saying basically and is this even possible? The car accident case was dismissed and i'm not guilty.

I am currently 2 months pregnant and just recently went for my 2nd pre-natal routine checkup. They performed a papsmear, and a ton of blood testing since I am almost 40yrs and it may be in the high risk category for pregnancy. Before I went in to see the doctor. The people at the front desk assured me that my Ambetter plan covers everything that needed to be done. But today, I received a letter in the mail from ambetter saying that I was denied for "Genetic Testing" as it falls out of their covered services. I am really stressed out about this and don't know what I should do. The people at the doctor's office told me they cover it, and ambetter is telling me otherwise. I also signed up for CHIP perinatal and wonder if that covers Genetic Testing.

Anyone received their renewal, I have a 45% renewal on my policy, it’s ridiculous.

Hi all, I'm leaving my current job and I have another position that pays higher than where I'm at right now, but no employee health plan. I'm in CA. Right now I'm looking at marketplace plans for my spouse (33M) and I (31F). We don't use much when it comes to health care. A few random visits here and there, I take a few daily mental health meds but that's it. However, we do want to start a family in the next year so I'm trying to keep that in mind. I've always been on an employer PPO, so that's what I'm used to. My top options currently are Blue Shield of CA PPO, or Kaiser Gold HMO. From what I've seen blue shield is one of the few companies that will offer PPO on the marketplace. I've looked at some of the cheaper plans through multiple companies but since most of them have coinsurance, I worry I could rack up quite a bit if I were to get pregnant/deliver. We earn too much to qualify for financial help/ACA plans as well. Here's my question - how much does Kaiser's HMO plans differ from their PPO? Is it really a big difference since it's all in one system? I know there are issues with Kaiser and it seems people either love it or hate it. But it seems like their HMO plan is cheaper with better coverage (particularly for maternity) than a similar PPO through blue shield. Anything I'm missing here? Any advise or prior experiences would be helpful.

I bought my condo five years ago and have Homesite Insurance (according to my recent research, this is not good…). I just filed a claim with them about what my plumber suspects is a faulty toilet wax ring which has caused water damage in the condo unit below mine. Chances are my bathroom will be out of commission for a bit. My question is this: has any one had at least a neutral experience with Homesite? Any tips on how to make sure they do what they’re supposed to? I’m doing my part by brushing up on my insurance policy. Any advice on how to avoid delays is greatly appreciated! I guess I’m just looking for a little hope, lol. Thank you!

I am 21 and the oldest “dependent” on the insurance aside from my parents, we are under Molina/Medicaid. We are a family of five, with 2 minors in the home, our ages are: 50s, 50s, 12, 16, and 21(me). My parents file taxes together for a sole proprietor business that they own. Earlier in the year, we renewed are insurance and everything went smoothly and we opted to enroll in the system where Molina automatically enters your tax information for you that they receive from the IRS. My parents typically make ~80-90k combined, but after business expenses, taxes, and bills, they only bring home 30-40k a year. Basically, our family lives off of the 30-40k, NOT the bigger number. This hasn’t changed at all in the past few years, nor has it been an issue for our insurance. However, this year, we received a notice in the mail that none of us are eligible to stay on the insurance and that our insurance ran out on March 31, 2025. While I’m planning on calling Molina soon, I did see that it states that we made nearly 90k, when that isn’t the case. I think this may be an issue from the automation system not taking the accurate data for us. Does anyone else have similar issues or can explain my situation? Edit: my parents’ adjusted gross income is 30-40k for those who may be confused. I’m sorry if I didn’t clarify earlier Edit 2: I figured out the issue. I got off the phone and it turns out they never received our tax info, so we have to reapply. We’re planning on visiting our county insurance office and they just need some proof of income. Thank you for the comments!

Question about marketplace insurance vs. private. My husband and I are partners in our own business so we got on a family marketplace plan this year after much due diligence on my part to ensure our providers were in network. We found out the hard way that just because some hospitals in a health network are covered, doesn't mean all are covered. This was upsetting to us because having both worked for the large health networks around us, we know where you go for procedures matters. I did a search of all marketplace plans for the 2 hospitals we prefer and NONE are in network. I got an email recently from an insurance broker who quoted me a price for Anthem BCBS that is a few hundred dollars cheaper a month than our marketplace plan including subsidies. There is a small deductible that I don't have with the marketplace plan and some limits on how often we can utilize a service but this would be OK with me if we could go to the hospitals we prefer. I'm also worried the healthcare subsidies will go away next year so finding a cheaper plan puts me a bit at ease. Is there anything I need to be super aware of with private plans? I'm curious how a private plan could be cheaper than a marketplace plan which is what is making me wonder if it's too good to be true. Thanks for any insight you can give!

I'm thinking of changing my renter's insurance of 8 years Assurant (Actually did some research and did not hear good things about them) to bundle with USAA. My apartment company has an "insurance fee" as part of the lease which covers liability, so all I would need is coverage for property. Since liability is now part of the lease, I was thinking of dropping liability from renter's policy to save some money. Is there any reason why I should keep liability on my renter's policy that I can't think of?

I was hopping someone could help me. My family is adopting a puppy this April and we want to get insurance coverage for it. I have read reviews online and here and it seems like people don’t like most companies because, shockingly, insurance companies don’t want to pay up. So I guess what I’m asking is does anyone have a recommendation for a company that reliably pays claims? I’m not too concerned about reimbursement times a month is fine, but I just don’t want to get scammed. It seems Trumpanion is very popular but also is 2x the cost of everyone else, To the tune of 1200 a year. It seems from the research I have done, Lemonaid, Figo, Fetch and Met Life have plans I could work with. Fetch being the cheapest and covering initial visits which is cool But concerning that it’s so cheap. Also is 10,000 annual coverage sufficient? I live in Seattle suburbs and have no idea what stuff costs. Thanks for any insight you all might have.
