Have an issue with your insurance?
Let everyone know!
Insurance companies are constantly reviewing us. Are we too old? Do we live in the wrong place? Is our credit score high enough? Well, now it's time to turn the tables. Do you charge too much? Will you pay my claim quickly? Is your coverage worse than it seems? We can review you too.
Humana - Elderly mom paid out of pocket for a dental procedure
So my mom (74) went to the dentist for a root canal today and was told the procedure was covered by her insurance. She has Humana and a root canal on her plan should be $0 out of pocket, however, she ended up paying $1800 because she felt stuck. We found her dentist through the Humana provider site and called the dentist to make sure they took her insurance. My understanding is that once you pay, it’s a done deal but does she have any legal recourse to recoup that money?
Thank you in advance

*"I understand that premium increases, like any increase in something we use or pay for regularly, can be a stress financially. Our goal is to keep your premiums as low as possible while still providing the policy’s features and benefits. Premium rates are based on many factors, including the increasing cost of veterinary medicine, the pet’s age, breed, sex, and zip code. Insurance regulations require us to charge a premium that is sufficient to cover anticipated claims. Premium increases are filed and approved, where required, with your state’s insurance regulator.That being said, you do have options for decreasing your monthly premiums. If you would like to decrease the cost of your monthly premium, you can do so by assuming more financial responsibility in the cost of your pet's health care. You can do this by increasing your pet's coinsurance and/or annual deductible. If you would like more information on those options and what those premiums are, just let me know via replying to this email and I will be happy to send those over to you.If you would like to speak with me to review the matter further, you can simply reply to this email noting a few dates/times that work best for you, and I will be happy to call you back at your desired time. Please note that I am available Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 am - 4:00 pm Pacific Time."*
Travelers - Recommendations for General Business Insurance for a Mobile Museum Exhibit?
Location: Silicon Valley
Type of Insurance: General Business Insurance
Hello Everyone!
I’m looking for recommendations for general business insurance that would cover a mobile museum exhibit featuring vintage technology (computers, gaming consoles, tube TVs, etc.). Since the exhibit involves transporting and setting up valuable equipment at different locations, I want to make sure I have the right coverage for potential risks like damage, theft, and liability.
We've been turned down by 10 insurance companies (Travelers, Tivly, Liberty Mutual, State Farm, The Hartford, Collectibles, Hiscox, etc.) An agent told me that using the words “mobile, vintage technology, hands-on” is a red flag for insurance companies because we're too high-risk to insure. Any recommendations on wording to use in lieu of the ones already mentioned above?
Any insurance companies or brokers you could recommend? Any advice on coverage specifics or costs would also be super helpful!
Thank you!
Kaiser Permanente - FMLA / CFRA question
I live and work in California for reference. I left my job to seek treatment for substance use disorder and Kaiser is claiming that they cannot excuse me since I did not participate in their outpatient program. I met with a doctor every week and he prescribed me medication to detox at home from fentanyl and methamphetamine. However they claim that this is not considered to be under a doctor's care and will not sign documentation for those dates. Over the course of 28 days I detoxed three times and relapsed three times before they sent me to a third party inpatient program. I am new to the Kaiser program as of this year and they recommended I go through their detox at home and outpatient program instead of directly to inpatient in spite of my long history of substance abuse and my multiple stays at detox facilities and residential facilities. Currently I am unprotected for these 28 days but I am wondering if this is legal?
Embrace - Embrace almost doubling premium
My monthly premium with Embrace was $54 a month and I just got a notice it will be $93 a month. This is an obscene increase. My pet is an almost 8 year old male cat I have had since he was 2. He has been in great health with no issues. I’ve had embrace since I got him.
Should I get new pet insurance? I’ve seen really mixed reviews about embrace being a scam. There is absolutely no justification for this premium increase in my opinion, but I’d like it get other thoughts.
Christis Health Plan - Denied Claim
Hello.
I’m looking for options or ideas to fight the denial. I’ll start by saying I’m not medical insurance savvy whatsoever, I struggle to fully understand the what’s and whatnots. Her insurance is Christis Health Plan.
My mother (45) battled stage 3 cancer last year up until two months ago when we finally got the good news she’s in remission. As she’s come off an aggressive treatment plan, she has started to lose function of her legs. Her PCP has ordered an MRI to attempt to diagnose but the insurance has denied it. Currently she’s on a medication to ease the numbness/ loss of control but over the last few weeks it has gotten to the point she cant make it up the four stairs without help and falls on uneven ground. I’m not sure how much else info is relevant but I’ll do my best to answer any questions.
She’s calling both her doctor and insurance in the morning for further information. What specifically should she be asking? Is there anything we can do to help get this approved? Any help is so appreciated as a $1400 MRI cash pay seems daunting, much less whatever it may cost to get her back in walking order.
Progressive - What to do about car insurance
Hey everyone! HOME HEALTH NURSES/WORKERS INPUT NEEDED
So I haven’t been offered the job yet but I have a second round (!!!) interview on Monday :) this job requires a lot of driving, with mileage reimbursement. They said I would sometimes have to drive patients to and from doctors appointments and/or school (I’m a nurse, I would be a field case manager) and I’m just curious if any of you have been in this scenario. For car insurance do/did you apply for ride share option just in case?
I am debating switching ins. companies anywho, my quote from Progressive is really high.. apparently in my state (NJ) they hiked it up just in general and a few months ago I got into an accident that I’m 100% not at fault for.
Bank of America - Bank of America Denied My Fraudulent Claims
Last month, I was unfortunately the victim of identity theft and a scam. A scammer from Nigeria hacked my social media accounts, emails, and phone number. Worst of all, they somehow withdrew $3,000 from my checking account and spent it on cryptocurrency. At one point, they even asked me to send them nudes, which was terrifying.
As you can imagine, I have been severely traumatized by this violation. I immediately filed a police report and contacted my bank to report the fraudulent transactions. Despite submitting supporting documents—such as emails showing my passwords were changed and login attempts were made from Nigeria while I live in the U.S.—Bank of America has denied my claim twice, insisting that I authorized these charges based on my purchase history.
What’s most frustrating is that I have never purchased cryptocurrency in my life, so I am insulted to be accused of stealing my own money. As a young college student, $3,000 is a huge amount, and I feel furious and helpless. I am considering filing a claim with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but I’m unsure if they can help me recover my money. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to hire an attorney.
What are my options? How can I get compensated? I feel betrayed by the bank I’ve been with for 10 years. If anyone has experienced something similar, please let me know.
Kaiser Permanente - Moving States
I’m so frustrated, I moved from maryland to new jersey a few months ago and I want to apply for NJ Familycare. So i’m trying to cancel my medicaid in Maryland and my insurance provider is Kaiser Permanente, I called kaiser and they told me my plan was ending 3/31/25 HOWEVER that said 2024 plan. There was also a 2025 plan that said it was valid through 1/09/25 - 12/31/25. On my Maryland Health Connections I got a message saying it would be ending on 3/31/25 which is exactly what i want, but why does kaiser have another plan that says active?? Idk why all this is so confusing and i called multiple people for about an hour or so and no one seems to give me the same answer.
Trupanion - 2 year old doodle who eats everything
I have a almost 2 year doodle whom I just spent over 7K on for sugery to remove a sock.2 days after surgery the site got infected and the sutures ripped. I’ve been looking at pet insurance reviews but it all seems so overwhelming and it feels like the good and the bad are balanced.
Currently i’m looking for a company that will pay up front which based on what i’m seeing that would be Trupanion as i’m constantly living in fear and has gotten extreme anxiety from always thinking he’s gonna swallow something again.
I’ve always swiped out my savings to practically save his life.
Any advice or help would be appreciated!!
