So a few months back my secondary health plan changed because I made too much money to stay on the plan that covered the payments which my primary insurance didn’t cover for my therapy appointments. Today, I get a call from the therapist saying a few things: They didn’t have my secondary listed anymore(not sure why), my insurances United and mass health were not aware of each-other, and now I owe $550 for past appointments. What’s really annoying is when I had this insurance plan change, I made sure to talk to my therapist and office asking to make sure I was still covered, and I don’t remember if they gave me a *clear* yes or no, but I remember being told that it should be fine. My personal line that I drew for myself with therapy is I would stop going the second I had to pay a dime out of pocket for it(it’s been almost 2 years since I’ve started) So my question is there any legal repercussions if I don’t pay a dime to this debt? What options should I explore, if any at all. Do I just make a payment plan for 1 dollar a month? lol Obviously I feel very wronged by this, and insurance companies won’t give a damn about me telling them “oh no I thought I was covered”. Thanks for any input.

WA So this is kind of a long story but I really need some advice. In 2011, I was active duty stationed in Everett, WA. My shipmate was at the casino and called me to come pick him up because he was drinking. His car was on the naval base and I was living in the barracks. He left his key on his tire and told me to find it and come get him. I picked him up and then rear ended a car. He gave the cop an insurance card and everything was dealt with and we left the scene. He later told me the insurance card was from 2 years previous and he couldn’t believe the cop took it and let us go. He didn’t have insurance on the vehicle. We then went on a 6 month deployment and I never heard anything more from the situation. I got out of the navy and went back home to Michigan in 2014. Some time in 2014 I received papers for a court case adjudged against me. I didn’t understand how this went to court and I was never notified or able to give my side of the story. Regardless, I planned on filing chapter 7 bankruptcy if they came after my wages. They didn’t. I heard nothing more until today. I got a letter from a law group representing State Farm insurance stating I owed 99k and it needed to be paid within 6 months. 14 years after the accident occurred! Do I have any options at this point besides filing bankruptcy? Thanks in advance for any responses. I’m stressed out beyond belief. (I’ve never owned a vehicle without insurance on it and I wouldn’t have drove that one if i knew it was uninsured.)

Hi all! So I'm in the appraisal process for my homeowners- mine is a hurricane claim (wind only not flood damage). Do they halt processing stuff like ordinance in law while they are in the appraisal process? What about personal inventory items (yes, 5 months since milton and they have done nothing with that)? I want them to see the house stripped down so we still have another month until appraisal. What should I do? I have waited a very long time to replace things. I need stuff like a frige and other essentials. Atleast for the personal items i feel like i should get atleast an "estimate/supplement" thing generated before they start using it as a tool to negotiate paying me less.They said it will be resolved at the end but they have not been forthcoming to resolve anything nor do we see an end in sight. We are kinda going out on a limb and assuming that we are going to sue even after appraisal. It's Florida and this is with citizens if that info is relevant.

Hi, I recently sent my husband’s wedding band, my engagement ring, and my wedding band in to get polished and resized. Kay jewelers has lost all three rings. The section on the bottom of the receipt reads as follows: “In accepting said merchandise, it is understood that this store, or any of its employees, are not responsible for identification or condition of stones or jewelry at the time of receipt. This store accepts the merchandise listed above solely for the purpose of repair and does not undertake to act as an insurer of this merchandise. I agree with the description and values of the merchandise listed above. IF ANY MERCHANDISE LISTED ABOVE IS LOST OR DAMAGED, I UNDERSTAND THAT I WILL RECEIVE REPLACEMENT MERCHANDISE OF LIKE OR SIMILAR VALUE UP TO AND NOT EXCEEDING THE AMOUNT STATED ABOVE. MERCHANDISE MAY LEAVE PREMISES, CUSTOM DESIGN JEWELRY IS NOT RETURNABLE.” - basically waiving them of any legal obligation. My husband and I have requested a refund for the value of the rings, which they have denied. They have offered to replace the rings, but my husband and I want to be done with Kay. Do I have any power to take them to court to get a refund? Location: Indianapolis

Six months ago when Progressive abruptly raised my 6-month premium rate by 20% the only explanation given was that "auto parts prices are rising quickly". Today Progressive raised my 6-month premium rate again by another 20% with the only explanation "high inflation in California". $1800 every six months is insanity. My car is nearly 10 years old and I only drive it to grocery store and maybe a restaurant now and then. I'm 60+ with clean DMV. What is Progressive trying to do there ? Is this legal or outright fraud ? If it's legal are they attempting adverse selection to eliminate California policies ? ( I've read about this for home insurance but not auto. ) What should I do ?

My first mistake was insuring through state farm. My second mistake was using one of the preferred shops that state farm recommends. My liftgate had a dent covering 40% of the area of the surface plus it was bent on the inside frame. State farm insist they can repair this by bending the panel back in place and filling with bondo. This is the worst way to fix this door, but State Farm doesn't care they just want a cheap repair. STATE FARM IS NOT A GOOD NEIGHBOR - THEY ARE VERY DECEPTIVE AND WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR CAR REPAIRS THEY WILL SCREW YOU BIG TIME.

So I've been going to a psychiatrist practitioner for more than 2 years now. I've paid a $25 copay each visit. I've never had to pay a deductible, it's always been the same practitioner as well. Out of the blue in January I get sent a bill that is many many times the cost of my copay, with the bill stating that it's my deductible. I called my clinic and they tell me nothing's changed, that the insurance was sending back that it was out of network and that they'll resubmit. I called the insurance and they let me know that in the past they were filing claims as a family practitioner, but now they're filing as psychiatry/specialist which is subject to my deductible. They mentioned that I could file a dispute, but that everything did look accurate and they're not sure how or why it was charged as general practice before. When I called my clinic back they told me they'd been bought out and that the practice is a specialist clinic and told me basically they don't care how it was charged before. I am very frustrated. I went ahead and cancelled my next appointment and am looking for options to continue on my medicine. I'm hoping my old family doctor might be able to pick up the prescription. Not sure what else I can do. I would not have went in for my visit had I known it was going to cost me multiple months of rent. And all just so she can ask me 3 minutes of questions and write the same prescription I've gotten for the past year. Is there anything I can do to get out of paying this bill? I was not told before hand that anything was changing. I know it's more complex than this but I can't help but feel like I'm being scammed out of my money. Also does this not sound borderline fraudulent? How can a practice go from being general practice to specialist without undergoing major changes. If they are a specialist now, how were they not before?? Anyways, I just needed to vent this out I guess. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. God bless the American Healthcare system.

Hello can anyone share if their pet insurance covered electrochemotherapy for their pet? I have healthy paws and inquired and they said it “may be covered” subject to policy rules. However electrochemotherapy is not FDA-approved in the United States and healthy paws policy states they don’t cover non FDA-approved treatments. Just looking for some insight. Thanks.

Repost 😆 I was rear ended at a light…luckily I was the only one in the car. The other driver accepted liability and I’m going through their insurance. I did get whiplash which I could feel a bit after the accident along with a bad headache. The pain is lingering a few weeks later now in my neck and shoulder. The injury claim adjuster offered $500 to sign an injury release. I want to avoid lawyers and running up medical bills etc for an injury that will likely heal over time. From industry experts or others with similar experience, what’s a fair settlement?
