Townhouse covered by condo insurance. Pipe in the ground(HOA property) breaks, excavation needed to determine the cause and replace the pipe. Insurance denied repairing the pipe due to wear and tear which is understandable,, but shouldn't they pay the excavation which was needed to determine the cause? There was other damage that was covered. Montana condo policy. Back up water/sewer damage coverage on the HOA policy.

yesterday morning i got into a fender bender. i was waiting at a red light on a 3 lane road. left lane is a left turn/u-turn lane. middle lane (the one i’m in) is a straight only lane. right lane is a right turn only lane. the light turns green (i’m first in line at this light), and i slowly start accelerating (i have become a very defensive driver because the city i live is filled with actual idiot drivers, so i never take off at an intersection for fear of someone running the red and t-boning me) to cross the intersection. all of a sudden, a car is in front of me and hits the front right of my car with the front left/side of their car. she was in the right lane and made a u turn from there (or was trying to). i feel like it’s pretty straight forward that moving to the left in capacity from a right turn only lane puts her at fault, but i don’t know how this all works. i recently turned 24 so my insurance is still a bit high, and im waiting until 25 to get comprehensive collision when it’s more affordable for me. so, i’ve had to file through their claims, bristol west. i didn’t call the police for this accident; i was rear ended really horribly two years ago in this same town and it took 2+ hours for a cop to arrive. i have a large event happening at work this week and i legitimately didn’t have the time to spare to wait for an officer to show up. neither of us were hurt, and the damage isn’t too horrible (from what i can tell) so i couldn’t risk missing my morning at work. i know this isn’t great as a police report would help with the story, but i can’t change the past. does anyone have any experience with this? the girl who hit me was very apologetic to my face, but im worried that her story/her insurance (known for high-risk drivers) will try to swindle me and i don’t have my own collision insurance. does this seem straight forward enough or am i in for a headache? thank you for your help, advice, and guidance. edit: would it be worth it to go on my cities FB page and ask if there were any witnesses? it’s a pretty common intersection and my city is relatively small. also, should i contact the police department to see if there is intersection footage? i just want to be as prepared as possible since i don’t have any dashcam footage. thanks

I have a six-year-old lab mix (50 lbs) who is in good health, but a couple months ago, she was limping a little bit and had an x-ray in which the vet I saw said there was some minor flattening of one of her hip joints. I have a family member who is a vet in another state, and she said from the scan she saw, there was nothing worth noting or treating and she seemed to be in perfect health for her age. She’s also stopped limping entirely about a week or so after that appointment. However, I know that the vet we saw does have it in her chart. I tried to file a claim on this, but as with literally every other claim I have ever made (nothing serious or crazy expensive so I let it go), it was denied. I have had Figo since I got her at 1.5 yo (rescue), but the same plan that I still have since I signed up shortly after adopting her started at about $25 a month, and now is creeping up to almost $125. My annual renewal date is mid February, so I have been thinking about making the switch. However, I am wondering if because of this last visit, if she were to develop hip dysplasia later in life, they would use that as an excuse not to cover anything. Barring any accidents or random injuries, it doesn’t seem at this point that anything else is concerning or showing signs of future problems at this point. She’s an inside dog and has always been up-to-date on her shot and flea, tick, and heartworm meds. The vet did bloodwork when I took her in for x-rays, and everything came back crystal clear, as it has any other time she has had blood work done. I’ve just become increasingly frustrated with Figo given the price hikes every year and their refusal to accept anything. I feel like I’m wasting my money, but don’t want to get screwed over later on if a new company sees it a pre-existing condition. But I’m also too anxious to not have any insurance at all. Anyone have experiences similar to this? Any advice? Do I just tough it out and keep shelling out the cash just in case? I know I should have probably switched years ago, but here we are.

I decided to delve into my homeowners policy to understand it in more detail because of a current potential claim. I was amazed that the 30-page document that I had from Allstate didn’t include may details beyond our coverage limits. There were 8 “amendments” listed, but only 2 were included. After chatting with a customer service rep, it appears that the information I need is in the “policy jacket”. Amazingly, I can’t get an electronic copy and have to wait 5-7 business days to get a copy in the mail. So much for paperless.

My spouse has a pretty poor driving record, we filed two claims last year on our insurance (USSA) and we just filed one today all of which he is at fault for. Last insurance claim we had was on December and it was a total loss. He also has a speeding ticket that he had to go to court for along. Our insurance bill is already $620 per month for two cars. My driving record is spotless, no speeding tickets or any tickets as well. We live in VA. I have a 2019 ford fusion and my 6 month premium is 1584. He has a 2019 Nissan rogue and his 6 month premium is 2241. We’re also both in our early 20’s. Would be be possible for him to have his own car insurance and would it be cheaper for the both of us? Right now his car is under my insurance and he’s also an insured driver under me. I also just installed a dash cam to his car a month ago for his protection but it seems like it’s the other drivers on the road that needs protection from him. I’ve already pleaded and begged with him to drive safer and drive defensively.

I went to a urology visit at UIC in Chicago. The whole visit was around 10 minutes, no longer, since I was called in: blood pressure and oxigen check, a few questions about my health history and then came in the doctore that in two minutes, without even using special pieces of equipment, gave me the diagnosis. Only few weeks ago I recevied the bill and surprisingly I was billed twice: one bill for the doctor service and one for the use of the infastructure tislef. Basically the doctor just "rent" the room and equipment and provides the service. For the first bill, the total was covered by insurance excpet a small co-payment ($40), but the second one is covered only partly . It was $460 and after reductions, I have to pay out pocket, 250$. The code associated with this item is 99204: "New patient office or other outpatient visit, 45-59 minutes, Level 4" (https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/cpt/cpt-code-99204-new-patient-office-visit-45-59-minutes#:\~:text=Additional%20CPT%20resources-,CPT%C2%AE%20code%2099204%3A%20New%20patient%20office%20or,outpatient%20visit%2C%2045%2D59%20minutes) If you read thorugh the link above, this code should be applied when: "Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of a new patient, which requires a medically appropriate history and/or examination and moderate level of medical decision making. When using time for code selection, 45-59 minutes of total time is spent on the date of the encounter." Basically, none of these createria were met. Even if I descalate to Level 3, it still require 30-44 minutes and a thoroughly examination of past and current conditions. Now, what actions would you suggest me to do? Trying to reason with the hospital itslef or can BCBS help me with this matter? Fortunately, I can afford to pay this bill. But it is just frustating that it's literally a mafia, a scheme out there, and nobody does nothing. I can't imagine the people living paycheck by payecheck and being frauded by private health.

Location: North Carolina Ill glve you guys the short story. Was in wreck back in November. Not my fault and my car was totaled. Called the other parties insurance, they gave a story that the other person didnt have insurance since August. Went to my insurance to file the claim and my insurance was lapsed due to failure to pay. I was behine 2 months. So they dont want to fix my car. I still owe 20k on my car. Anything that i could do besides let my credit take a hit?

Has anyone else dealt with Progressive refusing to take responsibility for a rear-end domino effect accident with liability insurance, and then being told to fix your car first and wait for reimbursement while they wait for other vehicles to file claims

Hi! So I've enrolled into healthcare marketplace back in November, and I've hit a major health issue since then and my current healthcare provider is absolutely helpless and don't seem to care enough to help me ( I have Kaiser Permanente). Is there anyway I can switch insurances past the deadline (I know its so late now) but I'm quite fed up, and super frustrated. Any advice helps! Thank you for reading\~

hello. i posted about this before, but three weeks ago, a drunk driver hit me and totaled my 2016 subaru. we just got our bill (to be paid by his insurance, all state): around $9,500, and an additional $1,000 to $2,000 with a rental. i need to go over my belongings for damage, but i had a $600 dog kennel (gunner) too: waiting on an email to see whether or not this needs to be replaced like children's car seats. his insurance wants to fix it, not replace it, although we only bought my subaru at around $10,000 (we spent a few thousand on repairs, but not anything big: my parents wanted new brakes for peace of mind). how badly will a rebuild that large damage our ability to sell? should we fight it: and how do we? we live in colorado.
