I currently have Healthy Paws for my 4 year old (soon to be 5) dog. She has been with them since Dec of 2023, - almost 2 years - and my premiums have increased twice so far (once after the first year and then once again because I moved and I've never hit my deductible yet). My policy covers 80% with an unlimited payout and a $500 deductible. I currently pay $73 monthly but when I first got my policy it was \~$58. I see a lot of posts on this forum about the premium increases from HP and it makes me nervous for the future, especially when dogs are hitting 10 and premiums are sky rocketing to unaffordable rates. My question: if you have an elder pet, what insurance do you have, how long have you been with them, what is your policy and how much do you pay? I've found HP easy to deal with and I like having an unlimited policy, but the premium increases make me nervous. What insurance company has comparable policies that don't sky rocket their premiums as your pet gets older?

I have a 2012 Prius V that was totaled in an accident. It has 40k miles on it (I got it from an eldery couple who almost never drove it). The insurance company came back with 3 comparison vehicles, all were same year/make but all have 90-100k miles. They are saying that the "adjustment" of value for the mileage difference is only $1500... Does that seem right?

Hi everyone, I got to this forum after seeing some "NW mutual life insurance is a scam" posts and i'm not sure if I got scammed. I was in medical training when a financial adviser told me about getting disability and life insurance.. with NW mutual... I'm 35 years old, very healthy, I pay about 87$ for 2M Term to 80 policy with no annual dividend. And my premium for disability is $110.. Looking for advice if I should switch to a different broker (if thats an option) or just general advice.

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.

Hey everyone, looking for some advice. Back on February 6th, I got into an accident when the roads were icy, and sleet was coming down. I was driving under the speed limit, but my car swerved and I stupidly slammed the breaks (didn’t know that was literally the no.1 no no) and ended up swerving into a different land and a truck ended up hitting me on the passenger back side. The car was totaled. Fast forward to now—I just got a notice from progressive saying I was found at fault. They included a form where I can contest it, but it costs $50 to do so. The form asks me to describe what happened, including the weather conditions. There was a decent gap between when I stopped swerving and when the truck hit me, so I feel like I might have somewhat of a case? But even then, is it even worth sending the $50, or is it just a formality with no real chance of overturning their decision? At the scene, the police told me the other guy had a dash cam, and I don’t have any other proof that I wouldn’t be at fault. Also, would this at-fault ruling impact my insurance premiums down the line? Appreciate any insight!

Location: Georgia, USA Hello everyone- My brother was in a motorcycle accident April 6, 2024. He was in ICU for a month and discharged in July, 2024. During that time he did not have his phone, access to email, or ability to check standard mail. My brother was a PE Teacher and football coach in the state of Georgia for 27 years. All of his insurance premiums were paid for once a month in his paycheck. The state of Georgia agreed to early retirement with benefits beginning July 2024. Blue Cross informed him last month they were dropping his insurance for delinquent payments. His appeal was denied. My brother is looking into COBRA as well as ACA. Does my brother have a case agains Blue Cross? What steps should he take to have Blue Cross reinstate him? Thanks!

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?

Is it even legal for Healthy Paws pet insurance to increase premiums at almost 200% in CA? This is outrageously high!! Anyone experiencing the same? #healthypawspetinsurance

I might get flooded with 100 "No, why didn't you read the policy language" comments, but it's worth a shot! My partner and I have been with Trupanion for four years, and we have a love-hate relationship with it. (But it feels like that's common for most pet insurance providers -as with insurance in general). We have been fortunate to gain more financial stability in the past year and decided we wanted to add "Recovery Care" to our plan. This would raise our monthly premium from $145 to $190, but we decided it was worth it. However, when we reached out to Trupanion via online chat to add this coverage, they let us know that they have a policy that you cannot modify your policy \~at all\~ after 30 days of joining said policy. This is wild to me because financial circumstances change, and...why would they not want to get more money? Now I'm seriously considering changing providers. My question, before "jumping ship" from Trupanion is: has anyone gotten them to waiver on this policy? I'm also going to call their customer service line to see if I'd get more traction there compared to the online chat, but I thought I'd ask here too.

Hi all, I have a ragdoll cat who just recently turned 1. We’ve had no health issues thus far. I start seeing this subreddit pop up and saw horror stories of HP. A couple questions: 1. I know a big part of if reimbursement is diligence. Our breeder did a health check on our kitten and gave us the paper work when she handed him over, but we still haven’t submitted it into HP (I know that’s on us). We started HP about 15 days after the exam. Will that paperwork be okay to submit now? 2. We are currently paying $30/month. Are we better off switching now instead of dealing with HP long term? Thanks!
