I ran the same quote three times and I keep getting different numbers. One quote said $300, the other said $330 and then I get an email saying it’s $196. What’s going on here?

**Context:** Policy Information • Protected Since: 06/08/2011 • Current Monthly Premium: $431.58 • New Monthly Premium Starting in 63 Days: $1,207.12 Posted yesterday here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Pets/comments/1jttro5/healthy\_paws\_pet\_insurance\_warning/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Pets/comments/1jttro5/healthy_paws_pet_insurance_warning/) *"I understand that premium increases, like any increase in something we use or pay for regularly, can be a stress financially. Our goal is to keep your premiums as low as possible while still providing the policy’s features and benefits. Premium rates are based on many factors, including the increasing cost of veterinary medicine, the pet’s age, breed, sex, and zip code. Insurance regulations require us to charge a premium that is sufficient to cover anticipated claims. Premium increases are filed and approved, where required, with your state’s insurance regulator.That being said, you do have options for decreasing your monthly premiums.  If you would like to decrease the cost of your monthly premium, you can do so by assuming more financial responsibility in the cost of your pet's health care. You can do this by increasing your pet's coinsurance and/or annual deductible.  If you would like more information on those options and what those premiums are, just let me know via replying to this email and I will be happy to send those over to you.If you would like to speak with me to review the matter further, you can simply reply to this email noting a few dates/times that work best for you, and I will be happy to call you back at your desired time. Please note that I am available Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 am - 4:00 pm Pacific Time."*

On March 11th, 2024, I had an outpatient surgery procedure done. Flash forward to today, April 8th, 2025 and I just received a bill for over $3000 for this surgery. The bill states that the surgery cost overall was $20,000 and my insurance at the time paid for ~$16,000. I was covered under United healthcare and this coverage ended about 5 months ago. Here are my questions: 1. Why am I just getting this bill now? Is this even legal? (I live in WI) 2. What would be the first step to getting this figured out?

My spouse was in a not at fault accident that resulted in being in the hospital for two weeks. Since I had zero info on the other driver and the police report would take awhile I decided to open a claim with my insurance the same day of the accident while I was at the hospital. On the call, which I recorded, my intake adjuster stated they would pack up and ship our personal items from the vehicle and not to worry about it, just focus on the spouse getting better. There is no need to go to the impound lot. Fast forward two weeks and I asked my total loss adjuster where our stuff was and they said they have no notes from the intake adjuster to pack anything up and they'll make a note to do so now. Long story short, they cannot find our stuff nor can they find photos of the third party inspection of the vehicle after two months of back and forth. They said they don't pay for lost personal items and if I want the $1600 in items reimbursed I would need to open a homeowners claim and prove they were in the vehicle. While I understand this may be standard operating procedure, I told them I don't think it's right that we are being punished with a new claim after the intake adjuster failed to take due care and ship our items and how can we prove items were in a vehicle if they told us not to worry about it and no need to go to our vehicle in the impound lot while themselves are unable to find photos. I provided the recorded call and requested a supervisor, now my own insurance won't respond and has ghosted me. Shouldn't my insurance be held responsible if they offered to ship our items and failed to do what they said which sounds like negligence? Should I request this from the at-fault insurance company instead? Would filing a department of insurance complaint do anything? EDIT: TX

Had anyone else had a sudden very large increase on their auto insurance premium? I've had allstate for 1.5 years now, and it suddenly jumped up by over $100 a month with no changes. This seems to big a hike to just be rising insurance costs. Has anyone had a big increase as well? Or suggestions for what to do? I can never seem to get an answer from Allstate. One customer service person told me that Florida was having storms and this impacts insurance prices (I don't live in Florida). I'm thinking about just changing insurance companies :(

Hey everyone, I'm currently living in CA and am on an Anthem Select HMO through my employer - my entire family (wife, daughter, me) are covered under this plan. My wife is currently pregnant with #2 due in September. However, my family will be moving to Pennsylvania in a couple months, and I will likely be staying with my same employer/plan (this is still to be confirmed but seems like it'll be the case). However, the Anthem Select HMO does not have coverage in the area we will be moving to, but the company also offers PPO options that do have coverage in the new area. Will moving across the country, at which point my coverage would essentially be lost, count as a qualifying life event and allow us to switch to the PPO coverage? I tried to reach out to the insurance company, but they said they can't make that determination. Is it a state requirement that determines it? If so, would it be CA state or PA state that would take precedence? I'm waiting to explore further with my company until it's for sure that I'll be staying with this employer as we're kind of keeping it on the hush-hush until it's official. Curious on your guys thoughts.

Location: Oklahoma Long story kind of short, I was in a car accident on Oct.4th, and the other party was at fault. At the scene they acknowledged they were at fault and their insurance looked up to date. At the moment, I felt that calling the police for a report was not worth the hassle, a mistake I know now. While at the scene the driver was on the phone with their mother and told them they were on their phone at the time of the accident, which she later denies. Additionally the drivers mother wanted to speak to me on the phone and was very adamant not to go through insurance and that they wanted to pay out of pocket, which I refused, I didn't think much of this comment in the moment but is important later. I filed a claim with the insurance they provided and a few days later they told me they were not insured at the time of the accenet. My father reached out to the drivers father as he is the person on the title of the vehicle, and this is when we found out the drivers father is the Chief of Police for a small town bordering my city where the crash occurred which is in the same county. At this point we were given updated insurance from the driver and I made the claim with their insurance, which was denied as they were denying what happened at the crash. Some context to add to this is that this was a new driver and had their license for only about a month and were 16 and were heading to their first day of work at their new job. I filled with my insurance who sent it to arbitration, and it was radio silence for 4 months and they would not even return my calls, thanks Progressive. I called today and told them I need an update today, and the new rep I got was amazing and told me everything I needed to know and they should have told me months ago. Arbitration determined the other party was at fault, which was obvious from the damage, and they were not insured at the time of the crash. So it turns out they tried to buy insurance right after the crash and did not tell anyone. Progressive wants to send them to collections to get some of my deductible back, but I would like to get my full deductible and loss of value (at the minimum). So my question is is small claims court enough for the $2k deductible and $2k loss of value, and do I need a lawyer? I have already waited 6 months, and while if I need a Lawyer I want them to get paid, but I feel like I shouldn't have to pay legal fees for this especially due to the criminal behaviour on their part.

Location, North Carolina Our family has a marketplace health plan with Blue Cross. It includes free dental for children under 18. I bought a marketplace dental insurance for my husband and I but didn’t include the kids because they had the free dental on the health plan. I have been trying to make dental appointments for the kids, and of course, there is a very limited number of dentists on the list that are in network. I have called a couple to make appointments and I keep getting told the same story. Blue Cross completely ghosts the dental office when they try to submit claims so the dentists won’t bother billing them anymore. If I had known this, I would have just added the kids to the dental policy I purchased for my husband and myself. Of course open enrollment is over so it’s too late now and they haven’t really had a change in circumstance except that their coverage only exists on paper and is impossible to use. Now my only option is to pay out-of-pocket for their dental care. Anyone else experienced this? What are my options?

I am getting some MRI's done at a outpatient facility and wanted to get an estimate by my insurance on my copay. My insurance asked me to get the NPI /taxid for the radiologist that will be doing the MRI so they can get the best estimate. I have BCBS I contacted the outpatient facility (NJ imaging network), and they gave me an NPI number but thats the NPI nubmer of the facility. I asked for NPI number of the radiologist, but they said that they bill under the facility, not the radiologist. How am I supposed to get an accurate estimate here? Also by "provider" billing I mean physician billing

Hey, has anyone ever dealt with owner guard gap insurance. I have been calling them for 5 days and emailing them and no one answers. It seems to only be one person that is working that is in a total different department. They don’t even have a headquarters if anyone has been in contact with them please let me know. I’m just trying to get a hold of anyone because someone totaled my car and I’m left paying out of pocket. Thank you for your time.
