I recently took my cat in for a mouth surgery to remove an infected tooth. The bill came out to be almost $600. Since I wasn’t enrolled in the wellness rewards it only covered $108 after a $200 deductible. When I pay $130 a month for both of my cats. When I first got this it was $60 for both of them and it has now doubled over the years to only cover a 1/6th of my cats surgery? I can’t believe it. Any recommendations for any pet insurance for my cats? They are pretty healthy overall indoor cats, I just like to keep this for my peace of mind in case anything happened but with this recent increase year and now this, I can’t justify embrace.

This has happened twice now where I have received my EOB in the mail, panic because it says I owe several hundred dollars still, and then when I check my billing with my dentist it says that insurance has covered everything and I don't owe anything other than what I paid the day of my visit. If the office isn't billing me anything extra, then I'm fine right? Is my dentist just good at negotiating with Delta Dental?

I was in a minor fender bender in a parking lot. Other driver was turning into main drive. I was passing a car that was stopped so I was hard to see. I had minor scrape to left front bumper and other driver had minor scrape to left front. Probably about $1,000 damage to each car. Exchanged info, he's an attorney who does work for state farm. I had camera in car, but actual collision was on side so actual impact not shown. Sent my info and video to State Farm. Got an answer in one day. Was told it was inconclusive, and no one was at fault. So, we both pay our deductibles. It seemed like State Farm looked at the option that would cost the company the least, especially with the speed the determination took place.

Location: I live in California Hey guys! Wondering what you thought. In summer of 2022, my mom and I were visiting some extended family in Switzerland. My Swiss cousin drove me and my mom to Paris, France in his car. The last night I was there, my cousin asked me if I wanted to go take pictures at the Eiffel Tower. I said sure. He drives his car, I am in the front passenger seat next to him. No other passengers in the car. We are on the street right next to the Eiffel Tower at a red light, sitting in traffic with all cars stopped. He says "OK you can get out here and get to the sidewalk, I will pick you up in a few minutes." As I open the passenger door, a motorcycle who had been weaving in and out of traffic going maybe 15-20 mph, slams into the car door. The driver and passenger fall over and the car door is smashed. We pull over, traffic around us is stopped. An ambulance comes and help arrives. Unfortunately (worst timing ever), I had a plane to catch to go back to the US. My cousin told me to leave, he would take care of it. I found a cab, took me back to where my mom was staying, and we went to the airport and flew home. I followed up with him a few days later and he said the motorcycle driver and passenger were fine, they had suffered some cuts/bruises and a sprained ankle. I told him to please keep me posted. He never really had anything to report. Fast forward to last Friday. I get an email from an insurance company detailing the incident from 2022, with the correct date and what exactly had happened. They found me liable and at fault because I opened the passenger door and caused the injuries of the motorcycle passengers. The insurance company said they had to compensate the other party, and requested that I reimburse the full amount. It's nearly $10K USD. I know this is definitely not a scam because my cousin verified his policy number on the letter they sent me. He also informed me they called the police that night and the police never came. He took it on himself to give the other party the insurance information so that his insurance would help out. He never imagined his insurance trying to recoup the money, especially from me. What do you guys think I should do? Shouldn't the insurance cover the driver and vehicle?Am I liable as the passenger? How would an insurance company in France enforce that I pay this? Can they take me to court? Is it possible that they might try to retaliate with my cousin instead, if I ignore the letter? Thanks in advance!!!

hi all. i have been a silent observer of the subreddit out of curiosity due to me and my partner recently adopting a kitty. We got him on a trupanion plan via chewy pretty quickly after we got him because we thought it was the financially responsible thing to do for him. When we got him, he had a bit of a URI and we thought it would resolve on its own. However, with no improvement being shown after having him for a little over a month we took him into the vet. Unbeknownst to us we were still within our waiting period for our insurance to kick in. We didn’t think it would be a big deal, we knew we’d have to cover this visit out-of-pocket. However, our vet noted during that visit (though unrelated to the cause of the visit) that our boy had some pretty noticeable gingivitis going on. After an extensive amount of anxiety on my end, I had my partner check in with our insurance. I had a terrible feeling about his coverage. now, after being three days short of our waiting period being over, gingivitis is now on his list of pre-existing conditions. We pay extra for dental coverage through Trupanion and now I am absolutely spiraling that we won’t ever be able to get any of his emergency teeth concerns covered. i was the one who pushed to take him in, i was so worried about his URI. and now i just feel incredible guilt. we insurance to make sure he would be taken care of within our means, and i feel like we failed him. all i can see is racking up dollar signs for his upcoming dental appointment we scheduled after hearing about his teeth from our vet. i don’t know if i’m looking for advice or comfort, but i just wanted to know what y’all thought.

I've had two rate increases in a year's time, increasing in total about 64%. Has calling to reduce helped anyone? This is honestly crazy, and their vague emails with arbitrary reasoning is incredibly frustrating. September '24: $74.57 to $91.77 September '25: $91.77 to $121.58

So I got hired onto State Farm in the Aspirant Program since I already have experience selling life insurance. It all sounded great when they were hiring me. But….. I am a week into this and I am getting zero direction and am told to just look into the book and see if there is any way to resell life insurance to any clients already with life insurance. Does anyone have any experience in this program. Because as of now I am a little confused on what this program actually is. It seems more like I got hired to be a sales guy for the agent instead of actually striving to be an agent.

We have been on medi-cal since 2020. Husband and I both lost our job. When we started working, we reported our income. We had a child and our income still within theamount that qualifies. 2022, I reported my income. And they still renew. 2023, I did not work, we qualified. 2024, I got a new job July, I called and they said my medi-cal will be cancelled by August. I enrolled in my job's medical insurance. Fast forward 2025, got a letter we qualified. I kept in my record that I always submit proof of income. What should I do?

My puppy recently got a tick bite and showed positive on Lyme disease after testing. Did more testing to see if treatment is required. Pet insurance denied my claim because I didn’t buy him the vaccine for Lyme disease offered by Vet. I have bought both internal and external de-wormer through Vet and PetSmart with records. I am trying to appeal this but want to know if I am supposed to buy that vaccine at the first place? Am I supposed to buy anything Vet offered to make further claims approved?

Renewal time is coming up soon and realized I never changed our address since we recently moved back to NY after living in RI. Well it’s going from $36 for my 5 year old cat to $60 a month. Overall she’s a very healthy kitty, the only health issue is she has asthma so I get that and I know as they get older it’s more costly cause of healthcare for them and providing services is expensive. Embrace has been great overall experience for us because we had to put one of our other cats down last year and they compensated us almost entirely but, I just wasn’t expecting because of the zip code to justify $60 every month now. Does anyone have any suggestions on our insurances if I’d be saving money elsewhere?
