Hey everyone. Need some insight from anyone who can chime in! So I am with Allstate Insurance. I had a collision with my truck (driving slow, hit a patch of black ice and my truck goes right into a transformer box(those green boxes that you usually see somewhere in a residential area ) and my truck is totaled. It’s been 2 months since I’ve filed the claim and I’ve basically heard nothing since. I have been calling 3-4 times a week, leaving 2-3 emails a week. Basically nothing. Just curious what should I do since it seems like claims never should take this long?

Is it even legal for Healthy Paws pet insurance to increase premiums at almost 200% in CA? This is outrageously high!! Anyone experiencing the same? #healthypawspetinsurance

so long story short, i was side swiped the lady who hit me admitted it was her fault. i filed a claim with her insurance and they called me and sent me a link to an app to submit photos of the damage. the damage is scratches and dents on whole passenger side of my truck, along with damages on the wheel. i get a call the next day stating they went over the 'initial estimate' value at $330.87 lol, i took it a body shop to get an estimate for all damages and i got a quote for $9,800.. a little confused how the initial estimate works, i called my adjuster but they do such a poor job explaining it to me as you can sense english is not their first language and when i ask what that means they just repeat and read the statement to me. its the first time i have ever been in this kind of situation, can anyone help me? i have been stressing, but was blown away when they quoted me for $330 to repaint, and do body work and buy a new wheel on $80,000 truck.

I am a SF policyholder that was rear ended by an AllState customer. I opened a claim with SF because I wasn’t sure of the Allstate customers limits and also wanted to use my PIP coverage from SF versus dealing with Allstate. That was an incredibly bad decision on my part. Allstate has done an OUTSTANDING job of handling my claim even though I am not a customer. They paid for 21 days of rental car within two days of me submitting my receipt. Allstate has been responsive by email and phone. SF on the other hand has been the worst customer service experience I have ever had. No response to emails, calls are routed to first line customer service that has zero knowledge and just submits a request or ticket to the actual claims handlers. My medical bills are going unpaid and now into collections, the hospital claim is sitting unhandled and the subrogation on the body damage is somewhere out in the ether waiting for one of the mystery claims handlers I can’t contact to handle. Jesus, my first claim with SF in over 30 years of being a policyholder and they treat my like a red headed step child and Allstate, who has no customer relationship with me, is johnny on the spot. What a sad state of affairs that is SF. I have no idea how to get SF to move and handle their responsibilities short of a complaint to the Insurance commission. Is this the way it is with SF now?

UPDATE: they finally replied and sent me another link to update payment + the portal access link. Unsure what I did.. I guess since payment was involved, they prioritised? Anyway now I can look at my plan, submit a claim, etc. And they said the Comms would improve in the coming weeks. Staying with them bec the premiums were the most affordable with them. I've seen posts about odie this year but writing about my situation in case anyone has also faced it. To the people who got transferred over - have you received your welcome email? My policy renewed on the 2nd of January, and I never received a welcome email. I had to take my cat to the vet and got a 1k bill. There's no place to submit a claim. Nobody is replying to my emails. And on top of that, I received an email today saying my payment didn't go through with a link to update - BUT THE LINK WAS EXPIRED!! The audacity to ask me for a payment when I have literally no info and no reply from this company. Nobody picks up the phone. And if the payment doesn't go through, the policy will lapse and that will leave my cat without insurance which is soooo frustrating!!! Has everyone else gotten their account setup emails?? Or even received a response over email?? Their voicemail message says if you email multiple times it will delay the response even more so I'm scared to write them again and again. Advice??

Looking for updated info — my pet’s annual dental cleaning usually runs **$900–$1,200** (under anesthesia, with X-rays). **Nationwide’s wellness plan used to reimburse for it**, but I just found out that plan is **being discontinued** or no longer offers the same benefit. Most "wellness add-ons" I’ve looked at (like Figo, Spot, etc.) only reimburse **$75 or less** for dental cleanings, which barely makes a dent in the total cost. Has anyone found **a provider that actually covers full dental cleanings** under wellness or medical plans? Either as part of a **preventive package** or through **major dental** coverage?

Hi everyone! We went with Pets Best for our kittens’ insurance, which starts for illness coverage on 8/21/25. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork was done last week in preparation for one of our kittens’ neuter scheduled on the 18th. The results came back a bit all over the place, which the vet wasn’t concerned by as he said it could be due to him being so young. However, the vet mentioned his T4 is elevated, which could suggest juvenile hyperthyroidism. We’ll need to retest in six months to see if it normalizes. My question is: since this was found before the waiting period for illness coverage ended, and there are no symptoms, no official diagnosis, and no specific treatment or medical advice given yet, do you think Pets Best will consider this a pre-existing condition? A bit stressed that if it does come back as high in 6 months, something that seems like it may be a very expensive lifelong condition is going to be automatically excluded due to an incidental finding 😅

The patient is enrolled in the Moda Health Beacon EPO plan, and the provider is listed as participating in the Beacon network. However, the claim was denied by the payer, citing that the provider is not a participating provider. Could you please clarify whether participation in the Beacon network includes all plan types such as PPO, HMO, and EPO?"

I have Geico. My premium shot up another $150 yet again for a 6mo period. They blame NYS, but this has been the norm for them since joining them in Apr '21. I want to shop around for full coverage insurance for my car, but unsure of who's even "affordable" anymore. For those in NYS who switched off of Geico, which company did you end up going with? Did they provide similar coverage at a cheaper cost?

Hello can anyone share if their pet insurance covered electrochemotherapy for their pet? I have healthy paws and inquired and they said it “may be covered” subject to policy rules. However electrochemotherapy is not FDA-approved in the United States and healthy paws policy states they don’t cover non FDA-approved treatments. Just looking for some insight. Thanks.
