Pretext: In michigan, 2019 Equinox. So the girlfriend rear ended a trailer, resulted in a decent amount of damage to the front end. Part of the damage was the axle being ripped out of the transmission, loss of fluid and all that goes with that. She files a claim, we take it to a preferred body shop that is a Cadillac dealer. Repairs were made, we pick it up after it’s ‘finished’. I am the one who picked it up and noticed almost immediately there are shifting problems that did not exist before the accident. Called the body shop and they said they would be the first step, so the car was parked and we went out of town for the 4th of July weekend, dropped he car back to the body shop the following Tuesday. Have waited this long for an adjuster to rule that it is not loss related due to it being internal to the transmission. And because he can’t see an impact to the transmission, it would not be covered. I understand it would be hard to prove the problem didn’t exist if it were left only my word. But Progressive won’t pay the diagnostic hours to find out what the problem even is. Am I out of line expecting more out of this? For a car that operated flawlessly before an accident, shouldn’t I expect the same after repairs? What should the next steps be? When I asked about an appeal process the adjuster said they’re really isn’t one, and two supervisors already agreed with him. Am I SOL?

I'd love to hear from anyone who has used AKC for pre-existing conditions. My 3yo Cavapoo has suspected IBD. He's had several vet visits and a specialist visit for it. He has Pets Best insurance, which was unfortunately purchased after one trip to the vet for diarrhea when he was 3 months old. So they won't cover anything GI related AT ALL. I talked to an AKC rep today who said they will cover the IBD after 12 months of premiums, even if he continues to have issues with it and has to be seen for it during the waiting period. Can anyone verify? Thanks!

I am due to give birth end of May. The hospital that my obgyn is partnered/contracted with is where I went on 03/01 because I had a pregnancy scare. I went straight to Labor & Delivery and was there for a couple of hours. The on-call obgyn is the one that saw me. I have NOT received a bill yet, only an EOB from my primary insurance, stating that the claim was denied. In the EOB- it was stating that the hospital is an out of network facility. However, I’ve spoken to my insurance directly few different times who said the hospital that I went to indeed is an IN-NETWORK facility. Now the last agent I’ve spoken to today told me “address where the service was rendered is confirmed to be outside the network for the facility. Here is what adoress of the facility showing on the claim” and it’s a complete different address than the hospital I went to, like in a whole different state. The first agent that I spoke a couple weeks ago stated the claim type says “outpatient hospital non contracting”. The last time I tried contacting the hospital themselves, the agent was saying I need a bill/statement account number, which I didn’t and still don’t have because I was never sent a bill as of today and he said to wait until I get a bill. It’s been over a month and I still haven’t received a bill from the hospital from when I went to 03/01. I was going to explain my situation and how I still haven’t received a bill but the billing office is now closed. I do have secondary insurance but they didn’t even receive a claim from hospital, which I am assuming they didn’t even bill my secondary. I’m just so confused and overwhelmed! Does this sound like the hospital submitted the claim incorrectly?

I am getting a new car delivered to me friday and trading my old one in, I went to update my insurance policy through state farm & it’s showing my total change cost to be $733 just to remove my old car & add the new one. Is this normal? That seems insanely high

Alright here's whats going on Been licensed since 2021 Got into first accident (at fault) in november of 2022 Got into accident last month (feburary 2025) Before the 2025 accident I was with Wawanesa and was paying I believe $350 a month for insurance but they just dropped me. Things are generally close by so I was planning on just lasting out on a Non-owner's policy until insurance becomes affordable (I'm guessing nov/dec since the 2022 accident will be 3 years old then) but I'm curious if anyone has any other suggestions. I looked in to pay-per-mile insurance but it doesn't seem like there is anyone offering it here in California. Any help is appreciated.

So about a month ago, I took my dog in for her routine dental cleaning. While she was under anesthetic, the vet discovered that she had gotten a stick that was wedged right across the roof of your mouth and had punctured her gums on both sides, requiring 2 of her premolars to be extracted. I filed a claim but it was denied because years ago (all the way back in 2019) there was a record of some peridontal disease at a completely different vet. Trupanion is saying they won't cover this latest incident because of that prior history, even though I've been with Trupanion since I got my pupper. Is it even worth the effort to try appealing this? I just feel like the damage to her teeth was not really caused by periodontal disease, it was more of a freak accident because she chewed a stick.

Hello, I'm in Oregon and hoping to get some insight on receiving a non-renewal notice on my homeowners insurance from Progressive due to a wildfire risk score of 21 (out of 50). How is the wildfire risk score calculated? A wildfire risk map and assessment released by Oregon State University show my property as being in the low risk category, so receiving this notice of non-renewal is a little confusing. Thank you for any insight you can provide.

Hi, i currently have All State for the one side of a duplex that i own. But they only cover up to the stud work. No structural. I've asked them numerous times how do i insure the structure but i get no real answer. How do i get structural insurance, foundation, frame, roof & then the rest MEP etc as the owner of one side of a duplex?

I have Lemonade and they denied my claim because the covered illness was “discounted” on my invoice showing nothing due. I have a care plan through my vet that I’m paying $150 a month for. I submitted a claim for the exam and testing that my dog received which was included in my care plan. Am I wrong for expecting Lemonade to reimburse for this? Even though the invoice shows no charges, it’s only because I’ve been paying in advance with my care plan. I’ve had pet insurance before (24 Hour Pet Watch) and they reimbursed me for things that were included in my vets care plan. I see nothing in my policy that states they don’t reimburse what your care plan covers. They told me their “guidelines” say it will not be paid. I’m thinking about filing a complaint and canceling my policies with them.

My husband had a emergency surgery for his appendix on February. We just received his EOB and it says denied because the provider didn't pre authorized the service and that we shouldn't be billed for it. The bill is $37,000. Our insurance is through Aetna. What does this mean? Do we really not owe anything? Or will the hospital still bill us? TIA Unable to call insurance since they are already closed. Edit: The hospital is in network.
