Hello, I was involved in an accident and I’m currently waiting to be reimbursed by the insurance of the person who hit my car (the 3p insurance). However their policy limit doesn’t cover how much my car is worth. I am trying to retain the car as salvaged because it is my only source of transportation. The 3p insurance is sending the lienholder $15,000 (customer’s policy limit) but the remaining balance is mine to cover ($6,380). However my lienholder says they won’t send the letter of guarantee to the insurance until the remaining balance is covered ($6,380) meaning the 3p insurance cannot send the $15,000. I have gap insurance and I expected them to cover the remaining balance but they said they won’t pay until the $15,000 is sent from the 3p insurance and they see the letter of guarantee. Does anyone know if there is a workaround where I keep the vehicle having to pay ($6,380) out of pocket? Please let me know. Thanks!

I’m going insane trying to get my dental benefits sorted out with Cobra. I paid my Cobra on 3/8 (first month) and MetLife made my plan active, backdated to 3/1. On 3/12 it was canceled again. 3/15 active again. 3/17 canceled again - MetLife said call Cobra servicer. Servicer sent in a reinstatement and it was active again on 3/19. I log in today and it’s cancelled 3/24 AGAIN. I paid for a month of benefits and I haven’t even been able to use them. MetLife acts like it’s the servicers fault. Cobra just sends in reinstatement notice. Repeat. What do I do in this situation? I have oral surgery in a month and god only knows if it’ll be active or MetLife will decide to cancel it on that day. How do I go about escalating this?

I might get flooded with 100 "No, why didn't you read the policy language" comments, but it's worth a shot! My partner and I have been with Trupanion for four years, and we have a love-hate relationship with it. (But it feels like that's common for most pet insurance providers -as with insurance in general). We have been fortunate to gain more financial stability in the past year and decided we wanted to add "Recovery Care" to our plan. This would raise our monthly premium from $145 to $190, but we decided it was worth it. However, when we reached out to Trupanion via online chat to add this coverage, they let us know that they have a policy that you cannot modify your policy \~at all\~ after 30 days of joining said policy. This is wild to me because financial circumstances change, and...why would they not want to get more money? Now I'm seriously considering changing providers. My question, before "jumping ship" from Trupanion is: has anyone gotten them to waiver on this policy? I'm also going to call their customer service line to see if I'd get more traction there compared to the online chat, but I thought I'd ask here too.

My monthly premium with Embrace was $54 a month and I just got a notice it will be $93 a month. This is an obscene increase. My pet is an almost 8 year old male cat I have had since he was 2. He has been in great health with no issues. I’ve had embrace since I got him. Should I get new pet insurance? I’ve seen really mixed reviews about embrace being a scam. There is absolutely no justification for this premium increase in my opinion, but I’d like it get other thoughts.

Hello, I adopted a rescue dog in November. I purchased Fetch insurance in March. They will not cover any anxiety meds or treatment for his anxiety due to it being "pre-existing". Early vet visits mentioned his anxiety . I'm pretty discouraged that this is being held against him. Are there any insurance plans that cover behavioral issues despite it being pre-existing. My vet even argued that my dog has Seperation Anxiety which is a different dx than anxiety and it was still denied.

I’ve never had to worry about health insurance before, so I have not learned any of the insurance lingo or terms. I’m in a very specific, very tricky situation. I was in an accident 2 years ago that I am still recovering from. I have a plastic surgery that I still need done to complete the recovery. At the same time, I am being kicked off of my parents insurance. Is there a reputable insurer that young adults generally use? My parents suggested AmBetter, but their reviews are really poor and lots of reviews say they deny coverage for surgeries. I’m willing to pay a premium if it means I can get better care throughout my recovery. I still need physical therapy and a permanent shoe-lift made. I’m hoping to find insurance that will cover me through all of this. I cannot get insurance through an employer, because I can’t hold any serious jobs that offer insurance while I am going through recovery. Any tips are appreciated, thank you in advance!

I was hit by a Lyft driver back on 11/17/2024. They didn’t check their blind spot and merged into me on the freeway. My car’s front bumper is cracked and messed up, I had to change that tire, and my windshield wiper fluid tank is cracked. I don’t have proof of the accident but I filed a police report as soon as the incident happened and I recorded the situation right after. I think it’s very obvious (from the damages and location of the accident) that her car hit my car. This problem became complicated because they were using a Hertz rental vehicle, not their own car. The driver gave me their insurance information and she claimed that she bought “extra insurance” to cover incidents. I come to find out, her Hertz insurance doesn’t cover the incident because she was driving for Lyft? And Lyft is now saying, “If we agree to pay for some or all of your property damage on behalf of our policyholder, we will only consider reasonable rental expenses, for a vehicle comparable to the damaged vehicle, and/or reasonable storage expenses for reimbursement.” Does this mean they will not be paying for any of my actual damages?? I unfortunately do not have collision coverage, I only have California state minimum requirement. I’m looking to switch but full coverage was just way out of my budget at the moment ($400+ per month). Please help :( I don’t really know what to do next. I’d appreciate any advice!!

Hi everyone I posted here a few weeks ago with issues regarding Fetch Pet Insurance (formerly Pet Plan) and I have just had an absolutely awful experience with them regarding my dog’s recent knee surgery Basically, they are rolling out a “prescription sub-limit” on all of the policies they can and using that to cap any and all medical expenses as they relate to medications at 1,500 dollars. This includes any medications administered by a veterinarian and as I’ve been made aware, it includes medically necessary surgical anesthetic medications. During my enrollment call and upon reviewing my application of benefits, I was only made aware of the coverage I purchased. 10,000 dollars reimbursement, 80% reimbursement rate, and a 500 dollar deductible. There is no language on my application that indicates a sublimit. I just got off of a call with a supervisor reviewing my claim review and also my issue with this sublimit (as it was not reviewed with me in my enrollment call like it legally should have been per my enrollment application) The gist of the call was that “we can’t go over the whole policy” and that “we’re sorry you feel that way” even though the language of the application states in the agreement section that “I have been advised and have had the various other coverages and limits available to me under this policy fully explained. It is my decision to purchase the Coverages and limits set forth herein” All in all, if you plan to purchase pet insurance out of fear of surgical needs or expect for your coverage to be that which you go over in your enrollment calls, do not go with Fetch Pet. They are deceitful and intentionally vague in their policy documents and apply sub-limits without disclosing them to their plan purchasers. Thankfully, Fetch has still lost money on my dog due to the expensive nature of her surgery. But I will be looking at all my options when enrollment time comes around and consider switching because this company is unprofessional and blatantly lying to their customers. Now I have hit the sub-limit after one surgery and if my dog were to need another surgery this year according to Fetch I am SOL. If anyone has enrolled in Fetch this year or last year, please review your policy documents and let me know if they applied a sublimit to your policy (and whether or not the enrollment agent informed you of that sublimit)

So when I bought my first car under my parents insurance I was paying them $200 a month. I had one minor accident, no speeding tickets however I did have window tint tickets I forgot to pay after I sold the car shortly after. Not paying those caused my license to be suspended so I applied for quotes and got crazy responses like $1100 a month from geico. I see ppl here suggest insurance brokers often as a last resort so that’s what I did. Got 2 diff quotes of $411 and $398. Since I had already bought the car and needed insurance asap I took it. But my question is do I really have to pay 50% of the cars value in insurance annually? Is this really my life from now on? Or will it be a bit better now that I’ve unsuspended my license CAR IS A 2012 ACURA TL SH AWD btw Location: NY 25yo male TL;DR: Bought expensive $400 insurance when my license was suspended. Can I get cheap insurance since I unsuspended it 2 days later? Or not because of my one minor accident 3 years ago
