Hi, i currently have All State for the one side of a duplex that i own. But they only cover up to the stud work. No structural. I've asked them numerous times how do i insure the structure but i get no real answer. How do i get structural insurance, foundation, frame, roof & then the rest MEP etc as the owner of one side of a duplex?

Never use Healthy Paws Pet Insurance. Period. I’ve been with this company for eight years. In that time, I’ve filed maybe one or two claims, receiving around $400 total in reimbursements. Meanwhile, I’ve been paying monthly premiums that started around $50–$60, gradually increased to $80, and just this week, jumped to $200 per month for both my cats. One cat’s premium alone went from $50 to $125 overnight. That is completely outrageous — especially considering both of my cats are in perfect health, no chronic conditions, and have had regular checkups, blood work, and clean bills of health. When I called Healthy Paws to ask what on earth is going on, the rep could not have cared less. There was no concern, no explanation that made sense, and zero willingness to help. It was clear: they’re just taking money from loyal customers who rarely file claims, and they don’t care. Over the past 7–8 years, I’ve thrown away nearly $7,000 for what? To be blindsided with a 150% rate increase and treated like a number when I asked for help? This company is unethical, greedy, and not here for pet owners. If you’re shopping for pet insurance, I beg you: do not go with Healthy Paws. They do not deserve your business, and they certainly don’t deserve your

Hello. I have mapfre insurance. I had a minor accident 2 weeks ago and submitted a claim on March 27th. They had me take pics of the damage(front bumper damage) I got my estimate from their electronic appraisal. I dropped off the car at an in network shop on Sunday, March 31st. That Monday the shop submitted a supplemental appraisal to have someone to check the car to approve more funds to get the car fixed from insurance. Since then there has not been an appraiser to come check my car at the shop. It’s been a week and it’s beginning to get frustrating. I was told many different stories on when an appraiser will come up until on Thursday an appraiser told me there was an issue in their system that prevented them from assigning an appraiser. I was told this past Friday that one has been assigned and will call the shop to schedule an appointment. The damage is minimal and the shop can fix the car in 2 days but can’t proceed without insurance. What are my options to make sure they have someone come on Monday? I’ve been without a car for a week and it’s been difficult to get around. Would love some advice on this issue!

Hi. I have to decide whether to accept or reject a lump sum offer from long-term disability insurance. I ran some numbers and after taxes, I think the lump sum offered is equivalent to almost 9 years of monthly benefits. In this math, I reduced the monthly benefit by 35% because I think that if I turn down the lump sum, I will have to get a lawyer to help me through whatever else the insurance company will try to do to reduce or deny benefits going forward. I had to appeal a denial a few years ago and back then, disability lawyers were taking about 33-40% of benefits. (I had decided to pay a flat fee for help with the appeal only.) I became disabled at age 30 so I have quite a long ways to go and don’t know if I have the mental, emotional, and financial resources to get through another denial. I still have PTSD from that period, which was also during COVID. Even though I don’t see how I could suddenly start making money, I feel like at least the lump sum is a sure thing. If I reject it, what kinds of things will the insurance company do for the rest of my benefit period in order to balance their books? I am especially worried about extra uncertainty with SSDI. If my SSDI payments get cut, my long-term disability insurance payments are supposed to go back to the pre-SSDI amount, which is more than double what they’ve been paying since offsetting for SSDI. If this happens to a lot of people at once, what kinds of things will the insurance company do? Right now, rejecting the lump sum feels like I would be subjecting myself to a scary black box of strategies to reduce or deny my benefits. I appreciate any information that could help me make a more informed decision. Thank you!!

Got into an accident last September and filed a claim back then when it happened. Since then I’ve been scraping together the money for the (1k) deductible. Now i’m worried progressive won’t pay out because I took too long. Is that a thing or do they still need to pay out for it??

Our pet insurance (ASPCA) for our 7yo pit mix is up for renewal in May and they're raising his monthly premium by 30% ($75->$100) so I'm looking to shop around. What pet insurance do y'all have and do you like it? I've looked at a handful of quotes (Pets best, Figo, Trupanion, Nationwide) and they are all around the same price as ASPCA or higher, except for Lemonade (quoted at $81/mo). His current coverage and what I'm quoting with other companies is; $5,000 limit, 90% reimbursement, $250 deductible, wellness/routine coverage. Thanks!

I'm going to keep this as short and to the point as possible.. Before my job forced us to change insurances, my BCBS plan had an all inclusive copay, meaning when I visited my specialist(or anyone for that matter), I paid $70. That was it. I had been getting bimonthly infusions that cost just under $10,000. All covered under the $70 copay. Rad. When we were forced to switch, we had our choice of hundreds of plans. I tried SO DAMN HARD to get insurance plans to tell me what my infusions would cost under their specific plans and got stonewalled every step of the way. I had all of my billing codes and everything. Long story short, I ended up choosing one that I believed had a similar setup to my last plan: all inclusive copay. Turns out, it is, but they are trying to bill me for the prescription used during the procedure($9,000+). I have to pay for that($300 specialty tier med) AND the copay. They couldn't explain why that is a loophole. My infusion is a buy and bill, which means it is billed under MEDICAL, not prescription benefits. What am I missing here?? TLDR: "All inclusive copays" have loopholes apparently?

Just switched to an android from iphone and when my battery gets low to 15 percent, I get a notification from the Plymouth Rock App that "Trip recording is suspended." It also says low battery is preventing Plymouth Rock from recording trips, this is genuinely scary as I never set up anything with them to record my trips. I gave them a call and they said that my account doesn't have it set up so they're not sure why. Anyone have an idea why it would say that?

I went in for my sterilization a few weeks ago and was SO excited to finally have it done. I have BCBS and my doctor's office said that insurance will cover the procedure 100%. But when I got to the hospital they said it would cost $10,000 because the hospital is not in network. Is the hospital correct on this or do I need to contest it because my insurance is ACA compliant? Can I contest it before the surgery so I'm not potentially stuck with a stupid huge bill?

After years of paying for Trupanion premiums, with hardly any claim at all (only a small amount for thyroid pills) this company blindsided me with an increase in premium, $70 to $118!, a $48 increase/month! They offered a lot of mumbo-jumbo about cost increases in our area. Well we pay for the routine care and it hasn't gone up, maybe minimally but nothing warranting that kind of increase. Now our dog is old so I won't be able to get any other insurance so I'm stuck with them. But we will be moving our younger dog out of that company ASAP. Just warning you all about this company, no loyalty to long time customers.
