I’m a 19F college student in Maryland and need a PPO plan because my school is in DC. I aged out of Medicaid, and since Maryland’s enrollment period is closed, I can’t reapply until November-January. I contacted a health insurance agent, but they mistakenly listed me as male on the application. When US Health Group called to verify my info, they corrected the error, and my quote jumped from 140 to 160/month. I am a broke college student with no job. The agent is trying to "fix" it and get us back to the original quote, but I’m worried this mistake of his will bite me in the ass when I'm older as he is now playing with the deductible in case of a life threatening emergency (before it was 8k I'd have to pay out of pocket and now its +20k). I don't know what to do as I've never had to deal with insurance! Should I switch agents, as the gender was a mistake? Please help!

I bought a car at Carmax within the week, and just got a call that the lender, Ally, is requesting a paid in full letter for a previous vehicle. The vehicle they are asking about was repossessed in 2021. I do not have a paid in full letter, but a cancellation of debt. I'm afraid to submit that and them not fund the loan. Will this hurt me?

Location: Virginia I use Choice Home Warranty (I didn’t realize how scammy home warranty companies were until recently, so please don’t comment about that). They are requiring I pay a portion of a repair because it’s considered a “modification.” I pointed out that my particular policy covers up to $250 of modifications, and they are saying that that $250 was applied to a previous repair and no longer available. However they will not provide me any written documentation or the recording of the phone call where they stated this. Do I essentially just have to trust them, or are they required to provide proof?

What happens if I don’t pay my cancellation fee from my last auto insurance company? I cancelled it before the end of the policy for the same coverage at a different company for more than 200 dollars less a month. I didn’t realize I would get a cancellation fee it’s not much but out of principal I don’t see why I have to pay this since I paid the whole month in full and cancelled before the end of the month if anything they should refund me for the days I didn’t use. they’ve been calling me and emailing and snail mailing me everyday for payment. What happens if I don’t pay the cancellation fee? All I’ve seen online is they can cancel your coverage but my coverage is with a total different company now so they can’t cancel that. Would it go on my credit report somehow?

Hi! So I've enrolled into healthcare marketplace back in November, and I've hit a major health issue since then and my current healthcare provider is absolutely helpless and don't seem to care enough to help me ( I have Kaiser Permanente). Is there anyway I can switch insurances past the deadline (I know its so late now) but I'm quite fed up, and super frustrated. Any advice helps! Thank you for reading\~

This might be a doozy, but here I go. Thank you advance. I decided to get my own insurance (so my insurance wouldn’t be tied to my job in the event of job loss). I searched in marketplace. I entered my criteria to find a plan that covers my PCP, my daughter’s pediatrician, and my medications. Marketplace found me a plan that covers it all and I enrolled in December to start in January. Today I had an appointment with my PCP. As I checked in, I handed them my insurance card, and they let me know he was not in network. Which is WEIRD considering I made sure I picked a plan that he was in. I left and called my insurance. They told me he was in network. They confirmed his address and phone number - it was incorrect. It was his old hospital from over two years ago. I gave them the new information. She left me on hold for a while and came back and apologized, saying he was NOT in network with my current plan. She said since I got my insurance through marketplace, I need to contact them. So she transferred me to marketplace. I’m now on the phone with marketplace. I speak to the representative (who was clearly in a bad mood) and he had no idea what was going on so I had to explain the situation again. He put me on hold and when he comes back, he says that he’s not sure why I’m talking to them when I should be on the phone with BCBS. I told him that I got insurance through marketplace, and I only picked my plan because it was in network with my doctor, which was clearly incorrect! He said that I was not entitled to 100% accurate information on marketplace and it was my duty to double check to make sure my doctor was in network. Which, according to BCBS, he WAS! At his OLD PRACTICE. From two years ago. And he is not now. I asked about changing my plan so I can actually see my physician and he said open enrollment was over and I would have to qualify for special enrollment which we could not do today. He told me to call BCBS again. I call BCBS again and the new CSR I spoke to was even worse. She basically told me to call marketplace. I told her what they told me and she said that was incorrect information and it was up to them. I am on the verge of tears right now. I’m playing this back and forth and I don’t know what to do. Do I make a complaint with marketplace? How do I go about it? None of this is my fault but they’re either blaming each other or blaming me. I just want to see my doctor, man. TLDR: got insurance, was told he was in network, turns out he isn’t in network because of incorrect address on file, and now I’m trapped in a limbo with BCBS and Marketplace and no one is being helpful. ETA - unsure if this is relevant in this situation, but I am 32, in Oklahoma, and gross income is over 100k. Maybe 140.

Location: South Texas Hello! I recently purchased my first home here in a coastal city in the state of Texas. As all of us on the gulf coast know, I am required by my mortgage lender to carry a windstorm policy for protection during hurricane season. This policy was set up by my home insurance company, and therein lies my issue. The home insurance company filed incorrect paperwork which inaccurately qualified my home for windstorm coverage and additionally inaccurately qualified my home for the mortgage company to lend to me. Can I (or the mortgage lender) file suit against the insurance company for this error? Edit: apologies for leaving out important context. The Texas windstorm agency has informed me that my policy will be discontinued in April if I do not provide the original paperwork for the property from 1988. (The paperwork was not completed in 88 despite insurance claiming it was) And if I cannot provide the paperwork I will be charged a 15% addendum to the premium in order to maintain my coverage.

I’ve received a series of new and confusing EOBs denying claims I usually had had no problem getting approved quickly before. Pets Best informed me on the phone that they have a new automated system that some claims get filtered into that is causing some claims to be incorrectly denied. Wanted to update and post here because their customer service truly is so helpful and kind, and if you call them they will fix your issues by flagging your denials for manual review.

I have received a debit card from OnePay by mail. I didn’t register for their service. It looked fishy to me, but I called their customer service, they requested my last 4 SSN and date of birth to investigate. I insisted them to check if there exist such an account without that info but no luck. I was hesitant to provide my sensitive info. The card is issued by Coastal Community Bank. Should I call the bank instead? Does anyone have similar experience? Planning to report it to FTC and local police. Have already security freeze on file for all credit bureaus for years. Have also checked ChexSystems report, but shows no activity. But this has happened. Thanks

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
