I believe that a Psychiatry doctor within my Aetna Network is no longer licensed or have an active license in Texas. He has a NPI and Medicare number and part of multiple insurance networks. But, I cannot find an active license for Texas and Aetna actually says that they do not verify if a doctor is still licensed?? This is not good! Would you assume that a doctor is active if he's a part of a network?

Hi y’all. I recently opted to cover my cat. I’m paying a bit more than I’d like to, but I’m willing to keep the policy if it’s a good investment. My cat has a preexisting condition they won’t cover. That sucks. Online I’m seeing customers were dropped due to aging pets. What are your experiences with this company? Is it ok or should I run in the other direction?

I have two cats, Fox and Ollie. They are brothers and turn four in September. I got Nationwide Pet Insurance in July 2024 for the first time. I did not notice at the time, but their plans didn't match. Fox's was $189 for the year, Ollie was $190. I called to change the renewal policy so it was the same, and to add Behavioral coverage. I wanted to match Ollie's coverage to Fox's, add behavioral. Fox's renewal, with NO CHANGES, increases by $125/YEAR in July. The woman on the phone said it's "because he is a year older." Lady, he will be FOUR this year. FOUR. Current: $19/mo > $29/mo So, recommendations? They are two boys, indoor, vaccines up to date but no recent vet visit. I'm mildly concerned Ollie has a behavioral issue but no diagnosis and running off vibes and tiktok diagnosis, not real doctors. I am going to wait to take him to the vet about this until I have the right insurance policy JIC, but SHOULD I even have cat insurance?!?! Otherwise, they're two healthy young cats. Indoor. Thoughts?

The accident occurred on 3/20 and was told they’re taking 100% fault. It all happened so fast, but I was on my way to work in the morning driving 45 in a 45 (it’s also dark and raining). I’m coming up to a 2-way crossroad where the guy’s road had a stop sign and mine didn’t. When I got close to the crossroad I see that he’s rolling up to the stop sign and I assume he’s stopping..because there’s a stop sign. Instead, he keeps rolling into the middle of the lane where I proceed to slam on my brakes and instinctively veer to the left to avoid him but I end up completely smashing the side of his car at 45 mph. I ended up missing that Thursday and Friday and returned to work on Monday since I was told I wouldn’t have to do much work. He ended up not even having a scratch while I have to go to the ER because I was so rattled and didn’t really know the extent of my injuries besides not being able to hear out of my left ear due to it ringing and sounding really muffled. I get a CT scan at the ER and was told that they couldn’t find anything major, so they sent me home with some muscle relaxers and a note for “light work no lifting” for work. A couple days later, I started feeling the extent of my injuries. Taking a deep breath, laughing, coughing, anything that expanded my rib cage or moved/put any pressure on my shoulder blade hurt really bad. My neck was stiff from the whiplash and I could crack my neck in ways I never had. My ear was still muffled with loud ringing and was very disorienting. This affected my sleep, work, daily activities like driving, working out, or even cleaning my apartment. It has been a week and a half since the accident and I’m still feeling all that pain. Albeit, not as significant and alarming as last week, but I still have a muffled left ear with some ringing, pain when my chest expands, shoulder blade pain, anxiety whenever I drive(which is a huge part of my job), sleeping issues, and as silly as this sounds, has destroyed my happiness. I got engaged the weekend before the accident and wanted the celebrate with friends the weekend after, but I wasn’t even able to leave our apartment to celebrate because of how much pain I was in. His insurance has offered me $2,500 for pain and suffering but I feel like that’s a slap in the face. I explained my situation to an attorney and he said it looks like they can make a decent case but said he couldn’t give me a number on how much he thought the case would be worth. So my questions are, can someone give me a ballpark estimate on how much I should negotiate for? & Do I need an attorney involved or is this a situation where I should fight the claim and negotiate myself? TL;DR I got in a high speed accident and his insurance is accepting 100% fault. I got out lucky but am still experiencing injuries like whiplash, some bruised ribs, shoulder blade pain, and muffled hearing. His insurance offered $2,500 and I don’t believe that’s enough for what I’ve gone through. How much could I counter offer for and should I get an attorney involved? Edit: I apologize, I did end up going to a primary care doctor last Friday but he told me the pain I experienced is common and went over the CT scan that the ER did and said “everything looks fine here”. I have an ear, nose, mouth appointment this Friday. Edit 2: I’m sorry if these seem like stupid questions, I’m just really young and don’t have any help outside of my mother.

I need advise/help on how to proceed. I live in Houston Texas and have lived in my house for about 11 years. We had some hail damage to our roof that happened last (2024) and have had at least 4 contractors come inspect our roof nd give us a quote. The cheapest quote so far is $9000. My home insurance is with All State. They sent adjuster to take a look at our and finally say the damage they see is not much and at most would cost $3000 to fix which is below our deductible. I am so upset. I have diligently paid for insurance for 11years without submitting a single claim and now I have a legitimate one they are giving us the run around. How do I proceed from here? There is absolutely no way to fix the damage for $3000. How can I make the insurance company pay for this? I am lost. Please any advise is appreciated.

Had a house fire, insurance adjuster said i get 5000$ a month for up to 12months for a rental equivalent to my house (3/2 2000sqft) Well 3 months went by and I decided to move into my own rental house , it’s a 1/1 while the repairs on the house are being worked on. Now he’s saying he will only give me the going rate of a 1/1 … which is somewhere around 1500-2k, which is a big difference from 5k. My question is if that 5k per month mine? Something I can fight for? Or do I only get the exact displacement fund I spend , up to 5k

Location: Washington state, US I have a structured settlement with Navient from 2020 that keeps my payments at a specific rate for the duration of the loan. With the transfer to MOHELA processing payments, they have not been charging me the correct amount. I have notified the contact that I’m required to coordinate with several times. She has responded each time but it has not been fixed. I have only been submitting the agreed upon amount which means I am under paying and also cannot set up auto pay. I’m concerned this could impact my credit, but also if I miss a payment the settlement goes away so I really want to be able to autopay. What can I do here? Are there any legal repercussions from their side of the agreement if they keep over charging me? Or is this just my burden to deal with?

I’m moving to a new state and currently have renters’ insurance with State Farm. I filed a claim for a theft in my building a couple of months ago, where a large amount of my personal items were stolen from what was supposed to be a secure mailroom. Last Friday, I contacted a State Farm agent in my new state to set up a policy for my next apartment. After taking the weekend to get back to me, she said she had spoken with the underwriting department and they couldn’t write me a policy because of that claim. She specifically said I couldn’t have an active claim in the last **24–36 months**. That doesn’t make sense to me. Why would the rule be a range instead of a clear cutoff? Is this standard insurance practice, and I’m just unfamiliar with it, or did she give me incorrect info? The vague timeline feels odd, and I’m wondering if she was just making it up or if she has the information wrong. I ended up going with a different insurance company anyway, but just wondering if she was BSing

In my naïve early 20s (single and no kids) I bought into a NWM adjustable CompLife policy. Then expanded coverage a few years later at the advise of my “advisor”. I haven’t thought much about it until now, when my new husband and I were looking at our cash flow. I’m now feeling that I need to stop my donations to NWM and be smarter with my investments. I’m not maxing out other retirement options (ROTH, 401), and I feel that would better serve our future. Here’s what I’ve got going on: CompLife policy #1 Started: 09/2016 Annualized premium: $1242.72 (Monthly premium: $103.5) Payments since sept 2016: $102 Total paid: $10,557 Net accumulated value: $7,244 CompLife policy #2 Started: 06/2019 Annualized premium: $1799.40 (Monthly premium: 149.95) Payments since June 2019: 69 Total paid: $10,346 Net accumulated value: $7,068 Total benefit: $500,000 Should I cash this out? Roll it into something else? I don’t feel like NWM has my best interests at heart and I don’t want to be throwing money at an inefficient scheme. TIA

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
