San Francisco CA, two crap cars, one driver perfect record (me), one 22 yo driver who backed into neighbor almost two years ago My umbrella went up from about $1050/yr in 2024 to $1982. Ugh. Crazy as the car and house is so much too. Thank you for any input!

I've posted about my claim before. Insurance company low balled me on the settlement for my stolen car. Offered me 23k total I didn't agree, they didn't want to negotiate and told me to invoke appraisal clause. They rep calls we over a week later and told me good news their appraiser came up with 26k and something. Told me I don't have to get an appraiser anymore. Sounded good to me. Next day I get a call, they made a mistake and weren't supposed to tell me that amount since that's the amount their appraiser came up with for when I actually invoke the appraisal clause. I'm confused so I have two questions: Can they legally backtrack like that after they already told me I didn't have to get an appraiser and the amount they were at? And also, technically if I get an appraiser he or she should be able to get me more than their estimate right?

About an year ago, I was rear ended at a stop sign by a Truck. I did not call the police as I was in a shock and didn't think through it. However, the person agreed it's his fault and shared with me his insurance details and I too the photos. The next day when the rental company looked at the damages they asked for the insurance details and only then I realised the other party's insurance was expired. The rental company used my insurance for the claims. When I called the party that hit me he said he would pay out of his pocket for the expenses but ghosted me since then. I was very new to the US then and hence did not know the legal options I had. I just saw a post today that someone got sued after an year. Can I still sue them after one year with only images of the incident and the person's expired insurance? Location: Miami, Florida My Insurance: State Farm (in Atlanta)

So I reside in Minnesota, our loan company is Mr. Cooper. We are behind a little bit February and March, but will come through before the end of the month to fully catch ourselves up again. They sent me an email stating our loan is in default? How is that possible when it states we are barely in their words 39 days late on the payment? Can they default our loan just for that? I’m going to be calling tomorrow to ask since we’re paying the full amount before the end of the month if it’s okay. But I really can’t wrap my head around the fact they defaulted so quickly. Has anyone else dealt with something like this? Or specifically this company? Much appreciated for answers!

I just dropped Embrace pet insurance. My dog has a soft palate and breathing problems which are hereditary. The woman on the phone said they do cover hereditary conditions as long as it wasn't something that was detected before the policy began or after the waiting period, because then it gets listed as a pre-existing condition, which no pet insurance covers. I'm so confused. If the condition is hereditary then of course it was detected early on. I've literally spent 10k on vet bills for my dog (who's only 10 months old) and I've never been reimbursed fot a single thing because everything she went in for is considering "pre-existing", whether its seizures, bladder issues, bowel obstruction, or anything related to breathing. She gets aspiration pneumonia like every 2 months because she throws up and then it goes back into her lungs and then I have to pay for x-rays and give her antibiotics. The waiting period for it to not be considered pre-existing is 180 days. That's just not possible in her case. Literally the only way I'd ever be reimbursed for anything is if she broke a leg or something. Is there any pet insurance that will cover hereditary health issues without listing them as pre-existing? Do I just go to a different vet and not give her insurance info from her previous vet or what? Her vet bills are becoming unaffordable at this point. Just at a loss of what to do. Anyone who can give me advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I know I'm calling them first thing in the morning to talk with an attorney, but is there any advice for a situation like this? I owe them just under 14k, they personally gave me a settlement and I emailed it to them (5k settlement) but National Debt Relief never finalized on anything, and now they are suing me.

I made my first claim through Figo and wanted to describe the process for those that might find it helpful. **Overall Thoughts** Overall, I was pleased with my Figo experience and intend to renew my policy. Figo covered approximately what I expected it to cover based on my understanding of the policy document. I submitted three claims in total, one for each of the invoices I received from my vet. My claims were processed and paid in less than 1 week. The process of submitting my claims was straightforward and involved uploading invoices to the PetCloud mobile app. I was slightly surprised by the fact that out of pocket expenses reduced my deductible only up to my policy's reimbursement rate. For example, the first $100 in covered costs reduced my deductible by $90. This is different from my experience with human health insurance where 100% of out of pocket expenses count towards to the deductible, regardless of what your coinsurance rate is. **Policy** I pay a $477 annual premium with the Costco discount. My deductible is $1,500 with a 90% reimbursement rate and unlimited annual coverage. My dog is 3 years old and unspayed. The policy includes rehabilitation but not Vet Exam Fees, Extra Care Pack and Wellness - Plus. My policy has been active for just under 2 years. **Illness** My dog had bloody diarrhea, loss of appetite and lethargy on and off over the course of 2 weeks. Total treatment costs, including vet prescribed food totaled $2,540.35 of which Figo covered $317.82. The cause of her illness was never identified. **First vet visit** At my dog's initial vet visit, our vet did an exam ($130), prescribed my dog Metronidazole ($26) and tested my dog's stool for parasites ($86). Our vet also prescribed Trazodone ($20) to help with my dog's anxiety at subsequent vet visits. The Figo policy covered the Metronidazole and the Trazodone, but not the vet exam or the parasite test. I was slightly surprised that parasite test was not covered. The denial reason was "Costs or fees for treatments or preventative treatments for parasites or conditions related to parasites unless there is no preventive medication for the parasite..." Total charges: $262.10 Covered by policy: $46.10 Remaining deductible: $1,500 - (.9 \* 46.1) = $1,458.51 **Second vet visit** At my dog's second vet visit, our vet did another exam ($130), ordered blood work ($570) and recommended that my dog be hospitalized overnight for IV fluids and observation ($1,388). The vet also prescribed a 5 day course of Metronidazole ($20) and Pepcid ($20). Again, Figo did not cover the vet exam, but did cover everything else, save a $24 "medical waste" charge that was part of the hospital stay. Total charges: $2,128 Covered by policy: $1,973.70 Remaining deductible: $0 Paid by Figo: Covered costs - Remaining deductible = (.9 \* $1,973.70) - $1,458.51 = $317.82 **Prescription Food** The vet prescribed specialized GI food for my dog to eat after her release from the hospital ($150). I did not expect for Figo to cover this expense, as the policy document states that food is not covered. I submitted the claim anyway, on the off chance that it might be considered treatment for her illness. Figo denied the claim with the reason reason: "The policy does not provide coverage for food unless included in the Office Visit and Exam Fees Rider prescribed as the sole Treatment for an Illness"

So…I’ve had Nationwide for my Yorkie since I got him. For five years. They paid 90% which I think is exceptional. In fact, they’ve stopped that practice! He’s had pancreatitis twice, allergies and other expensive issues. Today I received a notice I was being cancelled. I feared it as the bills have been very high. My question is…Now What?? What recommendations do you have? Will a new company accept pre existing conditions? Who pays out the best and the fastest? I appreciate all thoughts! TIA

hi all. i have been a silent observer of the subreddit out of curiosity due to me and my partner recently adopting a kitty. We got him on a trupanion plan via chewy pretty quickly after we got him because we thought it was the financially responsible thing to do for him. When we got him, he had a bit of a URI and we thought it would resolve on its own. However, with no improvement being shown after having him for a little over a month we took him into the vet. Unbeknownst to us we were still within our waiting period for our insurance to kick in. We didn’t think it would be a big deal, we knew we’d have to cover this visit out-of-pocket. However, our vet noted during that visit (though unrelated to the cause of the visit) that our boy had some pretty noticeable gingivitis going on. After an extensive amount of anxiety on my end, I had my partner check in with our insurance. I had a terrible feeling about his coverage. now, after being three days short of our waiting period being over, gingivitis is now on his list of pre-existing conditions. We pay extra for dental coverage through Trupanion and now I am absolutely spiraling that we won’t ever be able to get any of his emergency teeth concerns covered. i was the one who pushed to take him in, i was so worried about his URI. and now i just feel incredible guilt. we insurance to make sure he would be taken care of within our means, and i feel like we failed him. all i can see is racking up dollar signs for his upcoming dental appointment we scheduled after hearing about his teeth from our vet. i don’t know if i’m looking for advice or comfort, but i just wanted to know what y’all thought.

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?
