So I just got a 37% increase this year and this is now a 77% over two years. Based on the cost increases in my area for Vet care. This is what they said: We recently reviewed the data for similar pets in your area, and we found that the average cost and use of veterinary care has increased. To ensure that Geena always has access to the best veterinary care possible, we’ll be changing Geena's monthly cost from $302.79 to $413.04 starting on August 17, 2025. Trupanion is unique in that we never increase your monthly cost because you’ve submitted an invoice or because your pet ages. When I called them they said there are many factors that go into this cost one of them is the increased cost of vet care for an older dog. So they do not increase for cost because your dog is older but they do increase your cost because and older dog vet cost are higher. Don't you love insurance companies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last June, I went to urgent care because I was leaving for a vacation out of the country the next day and started feeling sick. I couldn’t get into my primary doctor before leaving and just wanted a steroid shot or antibiotics to avoid being miserable during my trip. I went to an urgent care near my job, knowing it would be more expensive than my normal copay. I usually pay a $25 copay at my primary doctor, but urgent care costs $50. When I arrived and checked in, the receptionist asked for my insurance cards, which I provided. I’m double insured, as I’m still on my parents' insurance, but I use my insurance as primary and my parents’ as secondary. I’ve never had any issues with this setup and typically don’t have medical bills because of it. The receptionist asked if another name (I assumed it was another patient) was on my insurance policy. I confirmed that I’m the only one on my insurance policy and explained that my parents’ insurance is secondary. Both of my insurances are Blue Cross Blue Shield, though I’m not sure if that matters. The receptionist seemed confused but said, "Okay, it’s going to be expensive, but your copay is $50." I agreed, since I felt awful, and paid with my HSA card. I was only tested for strep and flu (both negative) and was diagnosed with a sinus infection, for which I received a steroid shot. Fast forward to my trip abroad, where I had to visit a doctor at my resort, pay $500, and was diagnosed with bronchitis and the flu. Last week, I received a call from a collections service saying I owed $244 for my urgent care visit. I asked how that could be possible since I was double insured, but they couldn’t answer. I called the urgent care, and they directed me to their billing number. After waiting for an hour and a half on hold, I was told I owed the amount. I asked again why, given my double insurance, and they said they only had my parents' insurance on file, and that their insurance had denied the claim. I asked why it was denied, explaining that my primary insurance at the time was through my job and my parents’ was secondary. They asked to put me on hold to investigate, but the call was dropped. I called back and was on hold for 45 minutes. I then received a call from an unfamiliar number, and the voicemail said the call had been disconnected and to call back to resolve the issue. I called back and reached a different urgent care I’d never heard of. I asked for the person who left the voicemail, and they said they didn’t know anyone by that name. I explained the situation, and the person said they had been receiving similar calls from others and advised me to be careful with the information I shared, as they were unsure if their office number had been linked with spam. I then went to the original urgent care, which is 10 minutes from my job, and asked for clarification. They explained that my primary insurance was never added to my account, but when I went in for clarification, they added it to my file. Since their billing has been outsourced to a third-party company, they can no longer access statements or accept payments. They directed me to that number but said they would speak to their manager and call me back since they’ve received multiple complaints since moving to this company. I’m unsure what to do now, as the urgent care never billed my insurance correctly, and the bill has now gone to collections. Any advice on how to proceed?

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

I feel like this rate is insane for me being by myself 21 year old male in a brand new $50k plus Cadillac, I do need the snapshot through progressive (absolutely hate that) but I have been told my policy is half what it should be anywhere else. Clean record but why is my policy so low? I have average deductibles and had a third party review my account and said the coverage is right where it should be.

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.

Hello, So Just to give some background my Experian score is 667 and I'm looking for a Heloc or Home Equity loan of about 35k. I make about 60k a year. In 2020 I had 2 late mortgage payments due to covid before I found out about the mortgage forbearance which I then signed up for, however the mortgage forbearance now shows up as ND on my credit report. I tried a local credit union who denied me based on the late payments. I am currently working with AmeriSave but they are saying that the ND on my credit report have to be explained. I contacted my current mortgage lender to request documents for that but I don't know how long that will take. Any advice on what else I can do in this situation?

So I have auto insurance with All State here in Canada and I was provided a questionnaire for my renewal term which I filled out. All state says to fill it out otherwise there’s penalties and whatnot so I fill it out. They increased the premium on my last monthly payment before renewal and aren’t budging because we sent the questionnaire that they asked for before we paid the last payment so now they’re counting it as a policy change which is stupid. I work as an actuary in auto insurance and I’ve never dealt with this sort of stuff. What should I do?

Over the last two years my Healthy Paws Insurance premiums have gone up a total of 81%, which has forced me to remove one of pets off of my policy to make it more affordable. One of my pets is a senior, like many of the posts I'm reading here, and he has a heart condition forcing us into daily medical management per his most recent Echocardiogram. Like most of us who are appalled at our premium increases as of late for our senior kiddos, I am proposing we all sign a Petition of Opposite which will require your Name, the state of residency and your current or cancelled policy number. I will be posting this on a few sites in hopes to round up all those who feel their pets and their pockets have been treated unfairly. If anyone would like to recommend the best way to go about collecting this information, please relay that in this post. Thank you for your time, a fellow pet parent!

My auto insurance policy with Progressive was ceded to the North Carolina Reinsurance Facility. I have a clean driving record, no accidents, no tickets, no nothing in the 15 years I've been driving, but they told me that ALL of their policies in North Carolina were ceded after Hurricane Helene -- even though I don't live in Western NC. I've always carried coverage well above the minimum but my coverages are of course going to decrease significantly and my premium has gone up by a lot, as well. I'd like to switch companies, but I'm wondering if this has happened with policies across the board in NC regardless of company and that now that I've had a policy ceded, anywhere I switch will automatically do that, as well. Can anyone clarify how this works? Any other NC drivers run into this with other companies since Hurricane Helene? I really hope I'm not out of luck and can no longer get coverage above the minimum anywhere. I'm happy to switch companies if needed, but I also bundle with
