I went to an out of network Health specialist. I had 2 visits for around $200 per visit paid via credit card. They told me to send my invoice/receipt to my insurance company and they would reimburse me. I submitted 2 claims to United Healthcare and they were approved as out of network which went towards that deductible. I just assumed that after that approval, a check from UHC would be sent in the mail to me. It wasn’t. I chatted with UHC customer service today and they said to contact the health specialist business to resubmit the claim as in network. Talked to the specialist business representative and they don’t deal with insurance AT ALL. They are out of network for everyone and leave it to the patient/customer to handle insurance reimbursements if applicable. I’m at a loss for what to do now. I know I have to get it sorted with UHC but idk what to say or do at this point. How do I get reimbursed? Was I not supposed to submit a claim? Should I have gone through a different process and submitted something else? I’ve never had to deal with this kind of situation before and I cannot afford to not be reimbursed. Any tips or help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

We have a storm damage claim in since June 20th, adjuster came out July 2nd, he sent an estimate and a payment (which we have not yet accepted) on the 3rd. We’ve been trying to get in touch with him since the 7th to no avail (voicemail says he’ll call back within one business day). What’s my next move?

I've had Embrace pet insurance for the past 5 years, and this month when my policy renewed it increased by 88.5%. I reached out to them to get an explanation, and was basically told its because of the rising cost in vet fees, and "updated data" about my dogs breed, age, health trends, etc. I have filed a handful of claims for her over the years, but she has no major health concerns or chronic conditions. Every year in the past my monthly rate has gone up, but it has always been within reason. Has anyone else experienced something like this with Embrace or another company? I am going to switch providers since they are now no longer affordable, so would appreciate any suggestions for other companies.

I switched to an HMO plan, and all doctors at the practice I go to accept my insurance, including my PCP. However, the PCP I was seeing is relatively new, and because of that, they don't show up on the list of providers when I go to assign my PCP with my plan online. I remember having this issue a year ago when I tried seeing them for the first time (I wound up having to wait until my job gave me an EPO plan). I love my PCP, and don't want to have to choose a new one after being with them for a while. Is there anyway to get my insurance (Anthem) to update their list? Or would the doctor have to go through a process on their end?

I cancelled my Direct Auto policy before payment was due in June, I got a letter in the mail saying I owed direct auto $289.45... I called them and wanted to know why I owed money to them when I was caught up and decided to cancel it. I only had their insurance for 3 months before I decided to go to progressive and cancel their insurance. When I was canceling the insurance over the phone in June, he didn't tell me I would owe money or anything like that. He just said "Okay, I can cancel that for you. No problem." No warning about having to pay the remaining balance of the policy or anything...

Back in August 2024, I rear-ended a 2024 Nissan Rogue, which then bumped into a Toyota RAV4. The damage seemed pretty minor at the time—both cars were able to drive away from the scene without any issues. I had $20k in property damage liability. Today, I got a call from Geico saying that the initial repair estimate for the Rogue was $3k, and they already paid out $3k for the RAV4. But now, months later, they say a new assessment came in after further inspection and the Rogue’s repair cost estimate is actually $14k. They also mentioned they covered rental costs for the Rogue. It’s been 7 months, and I’m just confused—why the huge jump in the estimate and such a long delay? Is this normal? Feels a bit suspicious to me. Geico also havenot told how much i have to pay out of pocket. They said they called me just to let me know. I am stressed and worried. What should I do?

I’m 23 buying my first car. It’s a generic 2007 Pontiac wave and I want to do uber eats with it. I got a quote from Intact and he said it would be $800 down and $500 and change a month. This feels insanely high, even for commercial insurance. Any advice? Edit: I am a new driver so i understand it’s going to be a bit higher.

Hi everyone, I have a 9 month old maltipoo. I suspect he has chronic GERD since he throws up yellow bile if he goes around 6-8 hours without a full meal (like overnight or when he is stubborn and wont eat his lunch). This is to say I want to take him to the vet asap. But before that I wanted to add dental coverage to his policy just in case this issue persists and it causes teeth problems later in his life and then they wont cover it because it was a “pre-existing condition.” Dental work on dogs is very expensive! My problem now is that I emailed asking how I can go about adding this to my policy since I couldn’t find how to do so on their app. This is the response I got. i don’t understand why I can’t ADD coverage. I want to pay MORE money. I wasn’t aware that when I bought the insurance for the year it was locking the policy for that entire year. Now I’m thinking of cancelling all together and renewing with the actual coverage that I wanted. Has anyone tried doing that? Would they let me? Or would they recognize my name and vets and ban me or something. Thank you for all the help TLDR; has anyone been able to cancel their Lemonade pet insurance and renew with the actual coverage/policy they wanted?

I am low income and know others in same position who use Key Insurance Company. I usually pay on the due date (no grace period) as my disability arrives a few days before due date. I went to pay online and you couldn't. A lengthy statement covered web page stating company in rehabilitation. No policies (they are month to month) would be renewed nor new policies issued.Statement dates 3/3/2025. I saw it evening of 3/8 as it is due by 3/10 I had two days to find new insurance at a price I could afford. I alerted two others I knew used Key, and they did the mad scramble to get new insurance. One didn't make it and that's a $250 fine from DMV. We were given no notice. I am sure many others didn't make it or are paying too much in their rush. Do you think we can sue for lack of notice?

Hello people, I am a bit of a pickle right now :( I have been trying to cancel my Pets Best subscription/insurance for a good few days with no luck, the main reason why is because their prices have got up by a lot, and it simply isn’t in my budget atm, plus (knock on wood), my two cats are perfectly healthy besides the usual meowing because they aren’t allowed to eat every 5 mins. I have called them so many times but I have been put on hold for 25-30 mins. It is really frustrating because I am worried they will charge me despite low funds in my account, making my account go into the negatives. And of course, me not wanting to pay 59 bucks a month when it was originally 47 bucks a month when I first joined almost 2 years ago. If anyone has any advice, please share.
