I was in a accident. Mine was certified 23 Crv hybrid sport with only 16k miles in chicago il. I tried passing a car and lost traction. Anyways now insurance is offering only 32k and they say I can only show compa within 75miles. they used Mitchell and jd power. they have listed 10 cars in 75 miles but 4 of them were sold listings. What do I do now to get the best amount possible. I can see listings but they are with more miles same like 30k miles and are at 32500 but can't find listings for 16k miles. This is with progressive.How do I negotiate with the adjustor or is it best to get a lawyer or private appraiser? Also is there a thing I shouldn't submit comps more than 75 miles away?

I recently had a life event (job) that allowed me to change my plan. I chose blue cross blue shield options, because the doctor I need to get a surgery from is in network with them! As of yesterday the hospital in Dallas is not in contract with blue health blue shield anymore.... would this be enough to qualify for another life changing event? This doctor is one of the few specialists that preform this micro nerve surgery. I heard soemtimes hospitals and insurance companies come to agreement and they will start accepting my insurnace again.

Last week I got my settlement value for my totaled car which was very very undervalued due to them not comparing the same vehicles. Their excuse was “we go off of the VIN, they did not have any ST models in the area for comparison so that was the closest model to your vehicle” that was word for word from an email I received. For context I have a ford focus st and they compared to the ford focus se, the two cars are VERY different in build and price. They are saying I can invoke my appraisal clause and get an independent appraiser at my expense. What should I do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone!

Hi, yes a throwaway account cuz im a bit nervous So starting a few weeks after changing insurance providers, the pharmacy accidentally (?) put some meds on the wrong insurance(multiple times tbh, and the last one was over 6 weeks after the insurance had been stopped?!) . i get a notice maybe a month later saying i owe them quite a large sum of money. I go back and forth for about half a year before i was able to get a check from my new insurance to cover it. It isnt even the whole amount, but it helps. Now im so frustrated w the old insurance for putting us thru so much hassle. I tried to do a payout w them for like half the amount for all the trouble and after their review, they denied that request. But what if i were to let it go to collections and then do a lump sum payout with them? Any ideas how badly that would affect my credit? Im floating typically around 800 so i have decent credit. Or does medica debt even count towards credit score? I feel like i cant find a solid answer to that…im in the midwest usa for reference. Or even, what am i mot considering by doing this? I could def use the extra money, this whole situation was not my intention. It was rly super stressful tbh. Thoughts? Thanks everyone in advance! Any suggestions advice etc welcome.

Our older Bernese is insured through Trupanion, which has been very easy to work with on hi lymphoma. So far they've covered chemo really well, and we're even considering a stem cell replacement therapy (which costs $75-90k) and it seems like they will cover that as well. We are thinking ahead for our younger berner, Leela and are going to purchase pet insurance for her. Trupanion has been great for Jackson, but for some reason they are 3x+ as expensive as other options ($600/mo for 90% coverage and non annual limit). We're also looking at Figo, Pet's Best, pumpkin, and Prudent Pet. Important considerations are unlimited annual payout & a 90% coverage level. Berners tend to get cancer, and we want to make it an easy financial decision to get her the best care possible if that happens for her. Do you have experience with any of these insurers (or have others that have been good to work with?) Seems like there are many many options, and would like to avoid picking one now that is difficult to work with down the line. Figo, pumpkin, and Prudent Pet are similarly priced at around $130-180/mo. Pet's Best is coming in way less expensive, $90/mo for a $500 deductible and $55/mo (!) for a $1,000 deductible. Particularly interested in any of y'all who've gone through cancer treatment with these carries. How has it been?

Friend was in a MVA where she was going straight, CV was coming down driveway. CV did not stop, was given citation for reckless driving. She was injured, sought normal treatment. Ambulance/ER/PT/some testing. She had wage loss. VA is the state. Allstate found their insured 100% AF. Zoom forward over a year, 7 months out from SOL in VA. Demand got sent. 1 month after demand sent, Allstate changes liab states 'obtained data' speeding at 12.8 mph over limit on our side. That REALLY is not adding up for this road. There were no skid marks and she slowed down and moved into the other lane trying to avoid but the guy never looked... The PR shows she was doing the speed limit, however, the officer did not arrive or witness any speed. The other guy admitted it was his fault on the scene, but by the time he was being given the citation his fam was there insisting she was speeding(they didn't even see the accident... would be biased anyways). I find it mighty fishy it would take this long for any process to be started on an EDR and I work in insurance, I've never even seen a claim where EDR was pulled on a personal auto. I don't know how they obtained any data bc at this late in the claim I think chain of custody would be an issue and also the extraction method. I'm not sure where that vehicle has been bc it was a TL. Since VA is pure contributory, now with the reversal it's heading to our insurance, which is fine, we had the coverages. The issue lies with the pure contributory. If our insurance also finds the same, they could deny as well is my understanding. I doubt they will, but it's still quite concerning. How is this not a bad faith claim? Doesn't the VA statute say they would have to get permission to access that type of data? Don't they have to be forthcoming on how they obtained that data? This is a very weird situation and could end up costing a lot of money if both ins companies end up denying liab. Allstate already paid for the TL a long time ago. My understanding is even if the title was signed over, the VA statute states they can't access without request since they are an insurer and not using the vehicle for daily routine use. I'm not 100% they pulled EDR, but I can't figure out anything else that makes sense with that verbiage they are delivering. Any ideas?

I got the preventive care option which meant I had a 0 day waiting period for accidents and preventive care. My dog got his teeth cleaning and, preventive anesthetic bloodworksoon after. I submitted the claim but the denied it, saying it was an illness. He never had an illness for it bwfore and didnt have any symptoms for the bloodwork. Can I appeal? Please help it was $1500

Long story short, I got a bcbs plan through the marketplace last month and I kept getting bills for $0.00 saying I needed to pay or my policy would be canceled. The first time I got a bill for that amount I went online and paid a penny. Then I got another bill for the same amount of $0.00. I figured it was nothing to worry about. Fast forward to today, I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, and I get hit with an email saying my policy with bcbs has been terminated due to non-payment. Non-payment of what? Nothing? Why?

I recently had to cancel my insurance policy within 24 hours, and I was charged a $12 enrollment fee. Dianna, a manager from MetLife Pet Insurance, mentioned that while they will refund the premium, the $12 enrollment fee is non-refundable and isn’t included in the premium. Just a friendly heads-up for fellow pet owners!

ASPCA Pet Insurance Is Engaging in Bad Faith Claim Denials Pet owners need to be warned—ASPCA Pet Health Insurance refuses to honor valid claims and will shift excuses to avoid payouts. My dog, Ash, suffered an acute ACL tear after slipping—a sudden accident. As a retired veterinary technician, I have personally assisted in ACL surgeries and know this was trauma-induced, NOT a progressive condition. ASPCA first denied coverage by falsely calling the injury an illness, despite veterinary documentation confirming it was an accident. When I challenged their reasoning, they changed their excuse, now claiming the medical records did not specify BOTH a timestamp AND exact location. The medical records clearly state: "Presented for limping on right rear leg since yesterday, after slipping…Lame right rear - ACL tear." When I demanded a policy citation proving their timestamp/place requirement, they refused to provide one. Instead, they responded with: "You can reply to this email with any concerns, and they will be forwarded to our management team. If you prefer, you can send your concerns in writing to our office." ASPCA would rather deflect and stall than fairly review claims. Their tactics are clear: ❌ Ignore veterinary evidence ❌ Shift denial reasons instead of applying consistent policy terms ❌ Refuse to cite an actual exclusion supporting their decision I have filed a complaint with the Illinois Department of Insurance (IDOI) and will be sharing my experience widely to warn others about their unethical practices. If you have coverage through ASPCA, be cautious—they will do anything to deny a legitimate claim. Has anyone else had similar issues with pet insurance companies? Let’s talk. People deserve transparency, and our pets deserve the coverage we paid for.
