I’m confused and need some advice on my current situation. I was involved in a rear end accident, not at fault. Car is drivable with a minor dent in the trunk and paint chipped. The facts: - car is a 2014 Lexus es 350 - The person at fault has Liberty Mutual - initial estimate from their in network shop was $2100 - after they began working on it the supplement charges ended up close to $8700 after being in the shop for about a week and having a rental Today I got a call saying that the car was deemed total loss because cost to repair is over the 75% threshold. I still owe on it the car. What options do I have? Could I take it to another shop to get a lower estimate? There current labor charges were over $5k. I feel like as the victim of this I’m still getting the bad deal by not only losing my drivable car but also potentially paying out of pocket for the gap and rental. What should I do?

Hi, I’m trying to find pet insurance for my 4 month old Maine coon but Pet plan is extortionate. I don’t know any other insurance company that pays direct rather than potentially being stuck with a huge bill to pay upfront. £47 a month seems high for a young indoor kitten/cat. Why is Pet plan so expensive compared to other providers, do they offer more or is it because the pay vets direct? Can anyone advise if cheaper policy with insurer that will pay vet direct?

I swiped the side of my car (no lien) and Insurance company adjustor said take pics and put in portal. Said damage was worth$3700 and cut a check minus the $500 deduction; $3200. As I checked with bodyshops I deposited check as one guy said it doesn't hurt with final claim. Several weeks later used an insurance approved shop, over a month to repair. That shops original estimate was $5800 then final $7,700. So they charged me a $500 deductible and then Said to pay them the $3200 from insurance check. But Insurance check already took out $500 deductible and the shop just charged my CC $500. Shouldn't it be $2700 I pay Sthem (3200-minus $500) Insuirance already held theduditble and then I get charged by the body shop too?

During december this year, I had to go to the ER for a kidney infection while visiting family in Wisconsin. I'm in California and have had LA Care since I turned 26 and was kicked off my mother's insurance (Blue Cross/ Blue Shield Missisippi) I'm 28 now. LA Care is now saying that they were never my primary insurance, and that BCBS is my primary, so the responsibility of the bill falls onto them and me. I had a surgery 2 years ago that was covered by LA Care. I have contacted BCBS to ensure that my insurance is not still active with them, and it isn't. I three-wayd a phone call with representatives from both LA Care and BCBS to make sure the issue resolved. Ive been calling LA Care since early this year to have them remove BCBS as my primary since I no longer have it, but as of yesterday, they still haven't removed it, and are still listed as my secondary insurance. The hospital in Wisconsin and billing me over 6k. I can't afford that, and was under the impression I'd not be billed since a kidney infection is classified as an emergency under LA Care's policy. I don't know what to do. I'd appreciate any insight on this situation, LA Care is being incredibly unhelpful, and refuses to even let me submit an appeal. LA Care also covered a surgery I had 2 years ago. I was never aware they weren't my primary insurance.

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

So I canceled my health insurance with ambetter on 3/22/2025 and i got charged agian for April. I called twice and asked if there was any way that they could refund the money they stole for that one month and they of course said that they didn't charge me and that im crazy. I have the bank statement and the cancelation form. Who do I go to to report this and how do I get my money back?

**Odie is taking my monthly money and not holding up their end of the bargain.** **UPDATE:** Odie responded to my Google review and processed my three claims. They denied coverage for all of them, stating in the EOB "preexisting condition." My dog developed this condition while a policy holder on ManyPets, ManyPets processed claims for this condition regularly (which is why we have the insurance), and Odie stated there would be continuation of care. **I've filed a claim with my state insurance commissioner, thanks to the recommendation of this sub.** I was switched to Odie from ManyPets when ManyPets sold and want the world to know: ODIE IS A SCAM. GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN & DEF DON'T SIGN UP. Aside from the significant increase in monthly cost and 20k coverage limit on a previously unlimited plan, Odie is...nowhere to be found. My claims are not being processed, nobody answers the phone, the chatbot isn't responsive, and I literally cannot get any information.

so I think the title explains it clear enough got a info in the mail me and my mom share a policy because i'm 19 and from my knowledge its pretty hard to get one note says "we are kicking you off on the 8th because you are doing deliveries" I am not doing deliveries I was in my previous car but I didn't even have that car insured with them and i literally told noone i was, along w the fact that the insurance company i used when I was doing deliveries has gone down under I had to switch and it was a totally separate thing and I haven't done any food deliveries since getting my new car since its a 350z lowered and its practically impossible to do them, so me and mom call agent and agent says "idk it just says you are there is nothing you can do your just going to get kicked off"? need advice in general, and just general questions, why can't I just send them proof that i haven't 2nd question where am I going to get insurance at 19 now

Homesite Insurance I bought my condo five years ago and have Homesite Insurance (according to my recent research, this is not good…). I just filed a claim with them about what my plumber suspects is a faulty toilet wax ring which has caused water damage in the condo unit below mine. Chances are my bathroom will be out of commission for a bit. My question is this: has any one had at least a neutral experience with Homesite? Any tips on how to make sure they do what they’re supposed to? I’m doing my part by brushing up on my insurance policy. Any advice on how to avoid delays is greatly appreciated! I guess I’m just looking for a little hope, lol. Thank you!

A few weeks ago, I received the invoice for a medical visit that took place in November 2024. The invoice mentions two items: the visit to the doctor and a "facility charge." The first one is fully covered by BCBS except for a $40 copay, while the other is only partially covered, requiring a payment of $210, after the deductible. The code for the second item is **99204, "HC Office Visit New, Level 4.**" According to various accredited bodies including the **American Medical Association:** '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.' None of this applies to the actual visit: the entire visit lasted under 10 minutes, and no special machinery or tools were used. The diagnosis was visually evaluated. In other words, it seems that the level of service was intentionally overstated. I only have proofs that the visit lasted within 10 minutes, but no proof of what happened inside because obviously recording is not allowed. I first tried contacting the billing office by email, but they only told me to speak with a representative. I called and asked for an explanation, but they just forwarded everything to the Team Lead, from whom I still haven't received any updates. Meanwhile, this morning, I received a message from Nationwide, a collector agency, as an attempt to collect the debt. What do you suggest I do? * Pay the charge to the collection agency and move on? If so, won't it affect my credit score? If I understand correctly, under $500 it shouldn't. Fortunately, I don't have money problems, it's the principle that bothers me. The health system is essentially a mafia, they can do whatever they want to and nobody cares. * File a complaint with the Office of the Illinois Attorney General? I live in IL. * Something else?"
