My son damaged his car leaving a parking lot. He didn’t tell us for a few weeks (he parks with the passenger side near the garage wall so we never see that side) and can’t remember the address because he was lost in a scary part of town. He definitely drove over something because the frame behind the front passenger wheel well is bent. Geico wants the address in case there is property damage. I’m pretty sure it was an abandoned lot and nobody cares about a piece of cement. I don’t even know what to say to them. I’ve explained the situation but they keep wanting an address. It’s a 2 year old financed car that we bought brand new and have been with Geico for 10 years and have maybe 2 claims. This is my son’s first claim and he’s got no traffic violations or accidents but this. He’s 25.

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.

I enrolled my pup in Pet Best insurance last year, including the wellness coverage. I submitted a claim for a vaccination on April 19, along with the receipt and clinic record. It’s now been over two weeks, and the claim is still listed as "pending review" with no updates. I’m confused why it’s taking so long—wellness claims shouldn’t require checks for pre-existing conditions, and there’s no deductible involved. What exactly needs to be reviewed? Thankfully, it’s a small claim, but I can’t imagine the stress if it were a large expense. Has anyone else had a similar experience with Pet Best?

I have 2 rescues. Dog 1 we got at birth and found out she has auto immune hepatitis and will need medication for life. We had to pay $4,000 to find this out. Dog 2 is of unknown age and he was a stray so we had no knowledge of his health. We since found out he has IVDD and degenerative valve disease. So he will need ultrasounds 2 x year plus medication eventually. ASPCA has not paid a cent after a year. They chalk everything up to pre-existing conditions. I feel like I’m not understanding the AKC clause that says they pay for pre-existing conditions after 365 days. I’m not happy at all with ASPCA’s customer service and the rates were comparable at the time I signed them up last year. I’m sure if I get a new quote before my ASPCA plan renew, AKC will ask about pre-existing conditions and quote premiums accordingly. I tried looking for the info on their website but it seems so vague and I don’t know where else to get further clarification.

This is a wild one and I'm just looking for some kind of guidance or advice. Try and make the story short, my wife got into a car accident this morning, the car was in her mothers name who passed away and there was a lien on it so we weren't able to get it in our name but the car was on the insurance. This morning, on her way to work, she turned at light and was hit by a 1990s Jeep. After giving insurance information, we went home and contacted our insurance company. Found out we didn't have insurance, when we did, or we thought we did, back in February 2025, I registered a new car with AAA and got insurance. The lady specifically told me I had insurance and said we were good until August, but all she did was sign us up for road side service. I have a receipt of when I went in as well. My car I added was also on the account, but everything else was missing. I filed a claim and they're going to do an investigation. I'm just feeling like I'm in a black hole right now and am super confused and worried. I really can't afford to be put in this situation currently and thought I was covered by insurance this entire time.

Was on family vacation when burglars robbed our home and ran away with our jewelry and watches adding up to $49K. Insurance (AAA) denied claim and paid $2500 for sub limit and for damages to the home adding up to $6K. I did not realize we were supposed to appraise each item, until this episode. I had a personal property coverage of up to $150K. Any guidance on how I may recover more here?

I love my dog but I cannot afford to pay $1600 a year for something I've hardly needed so far (since it only covers emergencies and not routine stuff). I do wanna insure him, but $135 for a healthy 7yo dog is beyond insane. Is there _anyone_ out there that won't completely hose me on premiums?

Healthypaws is raising our premium to $35/month/cat, have had general cat insurance but almost nothing has been covered - their issues (cat herpes early on, recently anal gland stuff) is hardly covered or not at all. Looking at catastrophic/accident only insurance - is this worth? Do you have a company you like/hate less than all the other companies? Looked at PetsBest which is suspiciously inexpensive at $6/month vs aspcapetinsurance at $22/month for the same coverage. Any help is appreciated!

I usually get my glucose sensors direct billed, but every once in a while I will have to pay out of pocket if one stops working. What irritates me is I’ll submit the claim — and it won’t cover what it will when direct billed. I’m talking $100 less when self submitted. I call them, they say it should be covered as normal and they’ll look into it — but I see nothing on my end saying the claim is being reevaluated, and no secondary deposit. Months later, nothing. I get the sensors direct billed… normal coverage. Submitted another receipt, and it comes back $100 short. Before you say to just go and get the prescription at the pharmacy where they process my insurance, it’s an hour bus each way. The pharmacy I get the sensor at out of pocket is within walking distance. As for why I don’t transfer to that pharmacy… 10% less coverage, which for my medication is an extra $200 per month AT LEAST. Any advice to actually have Canada Life follow up on their processing error?

Hello all, I am here hoping to find some clarity as to what happened and if I did anything wrong. For context I am chronically ill and have ESRD (end stage renal disease), I am on dialysis 3 times a week, awaiting a kidney transplant. For the last 3 years I have had Medi-Cal and it was handled through California DPSS. This has been the case since I applied. Even when I went into kidney failure and went on dialysis, my medi-cal was still handled by DPSS. I even subsequently applied for Social Security Disability and still my Medi-cal was handled through DPSS. I was just hospitalized last month for a week, so I know that my insurance was definitely still active at that point. Well today, I called my PCP to make an appt and was told my insurance was no longer active. After HOURS of standing in line at the DPSS office, I find out that my medi-cal was transferred to Social Security at the end of March - Without giving me any notice: not even so much as a letter. I’m baffled… I now have to restart the process of picking out a medical group and all that stuff… how did this happen?? Why?? And did I do something wrong????
