I am looking to start renting my home in July when I move out of the country. I'm very confused on landlord insurance, though, and would love some help understanding it. Everything on Google says landlord insurance should be cheaper than homeowners insurance since they don't cover the personal property, but from my one quote so far from Allstate it's also looking like they don't cover the actual property either. What is $66,500 going to do for me if my house burns down or gets sucked up in a tornado? (Quote at the bottom) It just doesn't seem logical to me. The lady on the phone said something about requiring renters insurance and that THAT would cover the rest of the property should something happen, but is that true? I am a worrier beyond worrier, and want to make sure everything is protected, especially since I'll be in a different country. Could anyone help me understand what I should be looking for/asking for/quoting for? And what should I be requiring for the renters insurance? I have an insurance broker getting me more quotes at the moment. I just don't want to make the wrong decision and end up getting 1/3 of my remaining mortgage should something happen to the house. 😩 My 1 quote so far: Dwelling Protection $66,500 Premium: $1,390.47 Liability Protection $200,000 per occurrence Premium: $15.00 Premises Medical Protection $5,000 each person Premium: $9.00 Personal Property Protection $5,000 Premium: $5.03 Other Structures Protection $6,650 Premium: Included Fair Rental Income Selected Premium: Included DEDUCTIBLES All Peril Deductible $1,000.00 Estimated Total 12-Month Premium* $1,419.50

Basically was hit by one of their insurer. They never paid for an extension for the rental, I’m trying to get it to me but now my adjuster has been changed and never got back to me. Did a dismissed claim and it’s been 3 weeks now and I never got anything back. For the rental, they’ve been trying to wire but never went through. Now the other adjuster has to call me and never has in 4 business days. Is USAA this terrible

TL;DR: Be nice and…get yo money?? I made a post a few days ago about how I was seeking compensation for the stress caused my the mishandling and lying committed by the at fault drivers insurance. This was my first car accident, so I’ve never dealt with the claims side of insurance. I explained how it’s my understanding they were in violation of the Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act and how when I finally got ahold of the other insurances adjuster, he made multiple false statements (which his supervisor confirmed were untrue statements). For many reasons told and untold, this was stressful. I made a post explaining how I was seeking compensation for the stress caused by the mishandling of this claim and asked what the chances were that I’d get compensation. I came here seeking genuine answers and instead I received belittling comments, essentially saying “you will receive nothing you dumb fuck.” Well…I just received an email today from the insurance agreeing to pay exactly the amount I asked for. While I get things take time, not hearing a single word from the other insurance for almost two months when their own policy says they reply within one business day, and making multiple unnecessary false statements is not right. Making belittling comments to someone is also not right. My point is, be nicer. Don’t join a subreddit where people are seeking genuine answers if you can’t give them, or simply don’t comment. AND, if an insurance company got you feeling stressed, take a chance. It might literally pay off.

I have a high deductible UnitedHealthcare plan through work and my primary care doc referred me to a local radiology clinic for a mammogram and ultrasound for a lump in my armpit (everything turned out okay). I got the bill the other day and almost choked, $635! I called UH and they said since it was billed as diagnostic and they don't offer any discounts, they only paid about $50 and I paid the rest, essentially it barely mattered that I had insurance. I am 35 so they aren't covered yet as preventative. Should I appeal this? It's so much money after being laid off for 7 months before.

Just got an increase from $385/month to $1137/month for accident and illness for my 2 dogs (about 14 yrs old in CA, USA). I've had Embrace for 10 yrs and this is absolutely insane. Should I change companies? Now that they're older, they'll have some preexisting conditions if I do new evaluations with a new provider. But I definitely can't afford this!

At the end of 2024 my wife visited an allergist to try and get a handle on her allergies. A boat load of testing later and she needs allergy injections for her horrific environmental allergies to attempt to get control of them. Everything is good with this allergist at this point. It’s the end of December 2024 and the allergist informs her at her appointment at the end of the next month (January 2025) she will owe $1500 to start her year long series of injections. We have a HDHP with HSA so we totally understand that cost because the deductible resets. Well life punched us hard over the next month and my wife has ramped up her attempts to find a new job because she is so unhappy at her current one. Given everything going on and the fact that she isn’t sure if she will continue to have the same insurance or access to the same provider to complete the allergy injections if she gets a new job, she decided now isn’t a good time to start the allergy injections. So she cancelled her appointment 48 hours prior to the scheduled appointment. This provider did not give her any kind of verbal, written, mimed, carrier pigeon, etc policy related to appointments, billing, and/or payment policies for the practice. Nothing. So at the beginning of February 2025 she received a bill from Quest for the bloodwork she had done in December 2024. Two of the bajillion tests requested by this provider were not covered and it was going to cost us almost $700 out of pocket (whole separate issue we’re handling). She couldn’t find an EOB so I told her to log onto the portal to see if she could download it. Well she logs onto the portal and there are $2,000 worth of claims submitted from this allergist in mid January 2025. They were not the claims related to her appointments in December 2024 and they were submitted two weeks before she cancelled her first allergy injection appointment. To make a long story short, the allergist prepped the injection two weeks before my wife’s first allergy injection over the course of 3 days and submitted the claim to insurance for it. The doctor’s office is saying she is responsible for the bill and I’m saying that sounds like fraud for billing for treatment she never received and was prepared without any kind of contract or informed consent to give her the opportunity to prevent this from happening. My wife has spoken with 2 different insurance reps and one was like yeah you’re responsible and the other said I’m referring you to our fraud department. The doctor is entirely unhelpful and has refused to communicate with her on 1. Why there is no practice policy to avoid this situation and 2. How long that injection mixed up in good for and 3. What happens if she stops doing the injections after one appointment. What do we need to know about this? Is this fraud? Should we push to not be responsible for this cost? Did my wife make a mistake somewhere in understanding how allergists operate and missed what is the obvious to the field she should have cancelled her appointment at minimum two weeks before it was scheduled?

so I’m on Medicaid since I’m not working due to my finger injury. I got my surgery done a few months ago and they send me a bill today. I literally thought everything is going to be covered by the insurance. Maybe I should’ve asked questions ahead of time, but I wasn’t aware of this since I know few people who got surgeries and it was covered. I’m not working right now as well since my finger is still not healed. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do right now. do I contact Medicaid or the surgery place? Not sure. by the way, my insurance is Blue cross complete of Michigan. My insurance did pay for over half of the bill but just confused why it wasn’t covered completely.

Has anyone had experience with Pets Best while abroad on a US base? We just moved to Korea and informed them we were stationed at a US base with a vet. Their declaration page states they will provide coverage if on a US base since it is considered US soil. We just had the worst outcome happen where the base vet could not see us and we had to take our dog off post. It ended up being large tumors with a likely cancer diagnosis. The agent said she cannot guarantee an outcome of the claims, but to submit them and cite extraordinary circumstances. Any advice or past experience. Both my dogs have been insured with them since 2021 and they have always paid out each claim no questions asked. Unsure how they will interpret my situation.

Trying to help my mil with her home insurance in FL. No prior claims and no flood zone. She contacted an agent who gave her a cheaper quote through citizens. We find out 6 weeks later there is still no policy. We call on her behalf and get a bunch excuses about internet glitches or something. Called citizens and they didn’t even have a record of the application. In the meantime coverage has lapsed and the mortgage company I guess has already bought its own policy. Finally last week the agent submitted a new application and just got a notice that it was denied for missing required documentation. Obviously we are contacting a different agent referred by a friend asap. But like wth? This can’t be normal right? What else should/can we be doing? Obviously this is very stressful for her going into hurricane season without a policy.

Couple of questions if I may... I recently used Goosehead to get home and car insurance. They said that AMWINS would be best for homeowners insurance. Has anyone heard of AMWINS? Are they any good? Anyone had any claims with them? Also, I just received a notice of a rescind of cancel notification from both of them. I never received notice of cancellation and that is concerning to me. They stated that the original reason was "underwriting". It does state that there was no laps in coverage. I will call them later today but I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this as to what happened. I live in DFW and the house is paid off if that means anything.
