When I call an in-network practice, they usually tell me the next available appointment is in four to six weeks—or that the doctor isn’t taking new patients, it goes without saying all of this is contrary to information updated by my insurance weekly. I push a little or ask about seeing an available doctor, the conversation suddenly shifts to my insurance. As soon as they find out I have a subsidized plan, I sometimes get told they don’t accept it. Is this happening because of recent changes in federal policies, budgets, or staffing? Are providers running into issues processing claims from these plans?

I’ve been with USAA all my driving life and I’ve grown fed up with the high prices. So I’m switching to Erie and it goes active on the 28th. My USAA bill is due the 31st so when would be the best day to cancel? I’m not sure if I should call tomorrow or call them on the 27th. This is the first time I’ve ever switched insurances like this.

Location: Missouri Alright long story short, I had a car accident earlier this year that totalled my vehicle. I had full coverage insurance that covered the majority of the auto loan I had. The other party, the GAP insurance is to take care the rest of my loan. I got a piece of mail from the GAP people saying the check has been issued to my lean holder on February 11th, was told it should take no more than 30 days for that money to hit that account. So I called my auto lender to ask what's going on, turns out the GAP insurance company sent the check to the wrong address, that was March 11th. 30 days since the initial start of the GAP claim, I called them again today, March 25th to figure out what is going on. Come to find out they issued a new check on March 18th which was last week. It's been 7 days, nearly 45 in total since my auto loan should of been taken care of but it hasn't and I haven't been able to get a new loan due to my current outstanding loan that the GAP insurance is supposed to take care of. Basically I don't know what to do at this point, I'm still paying on the current auto loan cause I don't want it to effect my credit but at the same time I no longer have the vehicle since it's been totalled and taken by my auto insurance, what do I do in this situation, is there anything I can do?

My wife was driving and was hit in the rear driver panel and part of the rear tire in a hit and run. The car was drivable so it was not towed. The impact caused the tire to toe out however. For context, I had the specific tire that was hit replaced maybe two months ago. That being said, BOTH rear tires were worn down to bald and wire showing in some areas. Progressive has deemed that only the drivers side tire is eligible for coverage because it caused sidewall damage and that the tires are bald because it is a performance vehicle. They are also saying that a single tire being improperly aligned/toed would not cause any additional wear to the other tires. Do I have any options as far as getting them to cover the passenger tire? Is there a magic phrase or wording I need to use? I understand that a new tire is only around $250 to mount and balance but I feel like this is something the insurance should cover given the circumstances.

We purchased (with a mortgage) our house April 2023 in WV. Sorting and opening mail today. I opened an envelope from Erie Insurance assuming it was my renewal paperwork. No it's a policy continuation notice for a tenant policy held in someone's name I'm not affiliated with in anyway (it is addressed to them but did not realize as I just opened without looking assuming it was my policy info). 20k personal property coverage with a monthly premium of $245. We're new to the area, having moved here from TN and have kept to ourselves. Small town with a population of barely 2k. So I 💯 do not know the person or have ever spoken to them. The kicker? When I look this person up he's a cop for my county. And the agent that wrote this policy is 5 blocks from my house off the main road thru town. WTF do I do here? I'm concerned that this is a policy held by a local younger cop near me. A LONG time ago this was a multi unit home, but the previous owner we purchased from owned for 10 years as a single family home so it's not likely it's a policy that has just been continually carried over (why I mentioned they're younger) for the last 10+ years.

Hello, I doubt I can do anything about this but I'll ask anyway. My broker automatically froze my account yesterday because I supposedly made a large amount of orders (less than 10 a day on average). The average of those orders were positive so I'm unsure why the amount matters, not like i was losing money. I had an ongoing call that I was keeping waiting (hoping) for the price to go up and placing puts as the price was decreasing, so i was slowly making back the unrealised loss (and I did more than make up for it before tariff struck). Anyway, yesterday I tried to place a put but noticed my account was frozen, asked why and the help center told me the reason above and that it was there to protect me. Anyway, tariff happened today so the earlier mentioned call escalated in price which triggered their automatic order closure when the account reaches 25% of its value. Since my account was frozen i was unable to place a put to stop the fall in price and such. They did prevent me from placing a put just before the tariff struck yesterday, and while it was happening. So i was wondering if I could ask them for any sort of compensations or if I should cry. the broker is trading 212 just in case. Location: France

Hello! I am struggling to find a good plan for my older cat. I am moving out for college and my apartment requires my cat has insurance. My family never considered pet insurance for her, so it's quite a struggle. Im an undergrad and I love my cat a lot, I grew up with her. She's the cutest torbie short hair with a beautiful coat. But she is 12 years old, with quite a few preexisting conditions. She has arthritis issues and a pretty bad knee, a partially amputated tail from cysts, and has had teeth issues as well. Honestly, considering her pre-existing conditions, I know I will not get much from insurance besides maybe small coverage for check-ups. Lemonade will not let me file for her because of her age. If anyone has recommendations, I am considering a cheaper policy. I am looking into FIGO, but obviously, I have seen bad reviews for every company so I am pretty stuck on what to do.

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.

Alright here's whats going on Been licensed since 2021 Got into first accident (at fault) in november of 2022 Got into accident last month (feburary 2025) Before the 2025 accident I was with Wawanesa and was paying I believe $350 a month for insurance but they just dropped me. Things are generally close by so I was planning on just lasting out on a Non-owner's policy until insurance becomes affordable (I'm guessing nov/dec since the 2022 accident will be 3 years old then) but I'm curious if anyone has any other suggestions. I looked in to pay-per-mile insurance but it doesn't seem like there is anyone offering it here in California. Any help is appreciated.

Is anybody else's Figo insurance going up 40% in 2025? My rate is going from $425/yr to $700/yr. I reached out to Figo and they blamed inflation of all things, saying nothing could be done about the price. I was told Figo was one of the better companies by all my pet owner friends & family, but they have never covered a claim and at these rates it would be cheaper for me to just put aside $50/mo. Really frustrated and looking for advice.
