TL;DR: Be nice and…get yo money?? I made a post a few days ago about how I was seeking compensation for the stress caused my the mishandling and lying committed by the at fault drivers insurance. This was my first car accident, so I’ve never dealt with the claims side of insurance. I explained how it’s my understanding they were in violation of the Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act and how when I finally got ahold of the other insurances adjuster, he made multiple false statements (which his supervisor confirmed were untrue statements). For many reasons told and untold, this was stressful. I made a post explaining how I was seeking compensation for the stress caused by the mishandling of this claim and asked what the chances were that I’d get compensation. I came here seeking genuine answers and instead I received belittling comments, essentially saying “you will receive nothing you dumb fuck.” Well…I just received an email today from the insurance agreeing to pay exactly the amount I asked for. While I get things take time, not hearing a single word from the other insurance for almost two months when their own policy says they reply within one business day, and making multiple unnecessary false statements is not right. Making belittling comments to someone is also not right. My point is, be nicer. Don’t join a subreddit where people are seeking genuine answers if you can’t give them, or simply don’t comment. AND, if an insurance company got you feeling stressed, take a chance. It might literally pay off.

Has anyone used Clements Insurance? I'll be in Bangkok for 6 months to a year and I'm looking for full coverage on expensive personal property. They say they provide that coverage, but saying and doing....

My car was totaled at the beginning of July, it was the other drivers fault and she has Fred loya. I have been completely out of a car for 3 weeks and I can’t get through to anyone. I don’t know what to do. The car isn’t worth a lot, it’s a 2005 Subaru Outback, but in my area (Colorado ) I should get at least $4,000 for it, they offered me $2,200 and after I sent a bunch of comparables over they’ve been ignoring me. I have 2 jobs and I go back to school next month, I need a car. Any advice on how to get them to pay attention to me? I’m pretty poor so getting a lawyer feels out of the question, but I’m also getting desperate. Thank you in advance

so I’m on Medicaid since I’m not working due to my finger injury. I got my surgery done a few months ago and they send me a bill today. I literally thought everything is going to be covered by the insurance. Maybe I should’ve asked questions ahead of time, but I wasn’t aware of this since I know few people who got surgeries and it was covered. I’m not working right now as well since my finger is still not healed. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do right now. do I contact Medicaid or the surgery place? Not sure. by the way, my insurance is Blue cross complete of Michigan. My insurance did pay for over half of the bill but just confused why it wasn’t covered completely.

I have a high deductible UnitedHealthcare plan through work and my primary care doc referred me to a local radiology clinic for a mammogram and ultrasound for a lump in my armpit (everything turned out okay). I got the bill the other day and almost choked, $635! I called UH and they said since it was billed as diagnostic and they don't offer any discounts, they only paid about $50 and I paid the rest, essentially it barely mattered that I had insurance. I am 35 so they aren't covered yet as preventative. Should I appeal this? It's so much money after being laid off for 7 months before.

So I went to an insurance agent to enroll with kaiser through covered ca at the end of January because it wouldn't let me online and I was told I'd get my insurance card and stuff sent to me in a week or two well flash forward to today and I called kaiser to try and order an insurance card and they have no record of me at all. Called covered ca and same thing so I guess when I went to enroll through him it didn't work idk if he did something wrong or if it was a system error or something idk. This is my first time applying for insurance since I just got off my parents insurance and I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm not sure how to apply without covered ca and how much more it would be. Any suggestions I called the guy and left a message and haven't heard back yet.

i visited the ED back in march 2024 and ended up being placed in observation and let go the next day. i’ve been dealing with an insurance/billing issue since then. i have anthem BCBS under an employee sponsored health plan (Union Construction Workers). the hospital i visited was In Network. for some reason, the hospital is billing me around 17000$, stating that my claim was denied due to code *00897, which requests complete medical history from the member. the member being myself, so i contact my employer sponsored health plan claims specialist, and she has no idea “why they would want that [referring to medical history]” and ensures me the claim is covered and sends over the EOB. which states patient responsibility is $1500, and not $17000. she lets me know that UCW paid mercy back in july. anyway, fast forward to november i am getting billed $17000 again. i call billing, they escalate my case, and remove the $17000 charge from my statement. i call UCW again, and they let me know the claim has been paid. billing is telling me anthem denied the claim again. they ask me to resend the EOB. fast forward to now, i am getting billed 17000$ AGAIN! i call billing, they tell me that the anthem claim is denied. i ask them if they looked at the EOB. they say yes, i ask them if we can go through the EOB together. we look through my UCW EOB and the billing employee states that my ANTHEM EOB was reviewed and for some reason my UCW EOB was not reviewed but it was received after i sent it in November. he agrees, i should only owe $1500 per the UCW EOB. but anthem is denying my claim still. i call UCW again. the rep tells me that she is now contacting anthem directly. after 9 months of issues we are finally contacting anthem. and there is no way for myself to contact anthem, only through the UCW representative. i am giving birth in about a month, im in a rush to get this handled. i would accept any help that i can. i have looked through the itemized bill, UCW EOB, and claim on anthems website and reviewed for errors. i noticed that there is one charge (for $9.50) that insurance covered that is listen on both the itemized bill and anthems claim, however not listed at all on the UCW EOB. but i, a not insurance expert, does not know what this means. please please help if you can! i have already talked to my states insurance department, which they were confused w my situation and could not help. i also have requested proof of payment from UCW, as well as a 3 way phone call between UCW, myself, and billing.

A couple of months ago I was involved in a small fender bender. I turned right leaving a parking lot, which ended up being a right turn only lane and I needed to go straight. Naturally I began the process looking to merge left. The lane to the left was a turn right or go straight lane. I am looking into my left mirror to see if I have space to merge while also seeing which cars are turning right as I would have no other choice but to make the right turn if there was no opportunity, to avoid a T-bone like situation I notice plenty of space behind Vehicle A once they passed me up. As I am looking at my mirror, Vehicle A speeds up and doesn’t have their turn signal on, meaning they should be going straight. I slow down so they can pass me up and all of a sudden Vehicle A decides to make the right turn abruptly as if they were late to something. They did not see me, but I saw the car, beeped, and did my best to turn along with Vehicle A to mitigate any damage. We collided with typical fender bender cosmetic damages. Within 3 minutes between collision and pulling over, the drivers dad shows up out of nowhere and does the majority of the talking for her. He was saying things like “it’s up to you if you think the hassle of going through insurance is worth it” which I took as discouraging going through insurance because they felt they were in the wrong. The cop pulls up and is very quick to deem me at fault without any major details (Vehicle A had police plates lol). Cop gave major attitude when I asked how I can retrieve the traffic camera footage as it captured the incident perfectly. I also was not cited for anything. I was able to retrieve the traffic camera footage and submit as evidence to Vehicle A’s claim. I was on the phone with the adjuster as she reviewed the evidence with me. She told me it was most likely going to be deemed double fault for “unsafe lane change” and the opposing drivers failure to indicate a turn signal which the footage showed. I understood and was told I’d be contacted before a decision was made. The claim was closed mid February and I was never contacted, so I assumed the claim was denied. Today I reached out to the adjuster to verify and was told the case was closed and I was 100% liable for “unsafe lane change”. I inquired as to what caused the change from the double fault I was told about to this, and was completely ignored in the adjusters reply as she just stated that she’d resend the letter. The letter is very minimal and doesn’t mention the cause for liability. I am livid that the driver gets to walk away with nothing on her record for her negligence. I understood no matter what I’d be affected, which I didn’t agree with as the wording makes it seem like I hit Vehicle A as I merged to the left lane when Vehicle A made the right turn that ended up hitting me. Is this just a poor insurance company or is the lack of communication common with insurance claims?

I’ve been scrolling this thread trying to find the best option for mine and my husband’s dogs but it seems every option sucks. We have a 7 month old rat terrier and a 10-12 week old husky mix (not positive on age or breed as we just got her and she was abandoned by previous owner). I looked at spot but all the reviews are terrible, same with ASPCA. My biggest concern is the cost of preventative care like vaccines. Both are due for vaccines and I’m hoping to find a way to lower the cost somehow. Someone please point me in the right direction 😅
