Almost two weeks ago, I (26M, Location: North Carolina) was the passenger in a car accident. My boyfriend's car got t-boned on my side, and he is definitely at fault. I got a pretty nasty bump on my head, which the PA at the urgent care later diagnosed as either a bad headache or a mild concussion. At first, I just had a dull headache that came and went, I'll now say I'm having migraines that are coming and going, and at their worst I want to lay down and do nothing. My parents want me to pursue legal action against the insurance. They think I should get head scans, and his insurance should cover it. I'm thinking maybe there's sort of aftercare or physical therapy that'd be possible. But I'm hesitant about suing my boyfriend's insurance. I imagine there would be negative consequences for him through them, which I wanted to avoid. I wish the headaches were getting better, but they're not--if anything they're getting worse. He's also not happy with the way the insurance conducted the afternath of the accident. Evidently they listed his car on the auctioneer's site before telling him the damage (he's since taken the car back and the listing was taken down). He planned on suing the insurance company, but he consulted a lawyer who told him he doesn't have a case. When I told him about my legal options, he said his insurance is shady and he'd pay for expenses without going through them. That, at this point, seems like it could be way too costly when it's all said and done. Meanwhile, the insurance company has contacted me and they're asking questions about lost wages and whatnot. I've told them I'm having headaches. So what are my options? How bad would this be for my boyfriend? What would you recommend in this spot?

Long story short, we have never had issues with people buying and selling in our 6 unit condo building in Chicago until today. We accepted an offer and the lender reached out stating we needed **replacement cost coverage** in order to move forward, this is due to Fannie and Freddie guidelines as of June 2024. We have never changed our master policy provider and our bylaws specifically state that we must have **replacement cost coverage.** I have looked over our policy and it does not state either Cash value or replacement, just the limit on coverage with a \*attached for the inflation rider. Agent we reached out to has been non-responsive. Anyone else run into this?

Hi everyone! I'm looking for some insights on my cat's insurance costs. I've been with Trupanion since my cat was 3 years old, and she is now 7. The premium has been increasing nearly every year, and I'm currently paying $106 per month with 90% coverage and a $0 deductible. She's been relatively healthy overall, just dealing with early-stage osteoporosis, which we're managing with weight loss. Thankfully, no other major health issues. However, the one time I submitted a claim, my vet had to intervene because Trupanion was reluctant to cover costs that were supposedly included under my plan. Given these details, does the price I'm paying seem reasonable? Also, if anyone has suggestions for more affordable insurance options in Canada that still offer reliable coverage, I’d love to hear about them. Thanks for your help!

I have BCBS Horizon of NJ PPO. It’s my dad’s plan thru his work at a large sales company that has no religious affiliation. He’s worked there only a few years definitely after 2019. His job is in NC, I’m a MD resident. Currently battling insurance for a bilateral salpingectomy which is a form of permanent contraceptive and falls under preventive care and the ACA. My plan offers preventive care 100% covered in network. My insurance is telling me it’s covered at 80% after my deductible is met ($1200). One rep even told me my plan must not be aca compliant then. I looked into that and BCBS NJ horizon has not offered a non aca compliant plan since 2013. This rep is flat out lying, right? Well she gets a supervisor involved and he can’t confidently say whether my plan is aca compliant or not. It covers birth control 100% (I currently am on a 100% covered by them birth control). I think they may be looking it up as an outpatient surgery and not as preventative care. How do I tell them to look at it from preventative care and not outpatient surgery? Is it even possible for my plan to not be aca compliant? I’m currently in communication with an hr person from my dad’s company. She hasn’t gotten back to me yet and I really want to sleep tonight. My surgery is March 27th and I really can’t afford for it to not be 100% covered. Please help 🙏 💜

I recently had to cancel my insurance policy within 24 hours, and I was charged a $12 enrollment fee. Dianna, a manager from MetLife Pet Insurance, mentioned that while they will refund the premium, the $12 enrollment fee is non-refundable and isn’t included in the premium. Just a friendly heads-up for fellow pet owners!

Are there any insurances that cover dental only? I’m currently with Healthy Paws, & while they are getting more expensive for now it works for us because of the unlimited payout if we need it. But last year he had a cleaning and extractions that ended up being over $2000 when all was said and done, and if he needs more this year I’m hoping to have some coverage. TIA!

I have Aetna with acupuncture coverage. I had seen a provider 6 times, 3 times in 2023 and 3 times in 2024. All of the visits were coded CPT Code 97811 and CPT Code 97810. In 2024, I saw the provider in January, June, and July. For some reason, the visit in June was denied and Aetna said it was experimental. But the provider billed using the exact same code as before and after June 2024. All other claims had been paid. I'm at a stage of appealing this decision. But I'm wondering if anyone has any insights into why a claim would randomly be deemed experimental when it was paid as normal otherwise?

I use Allstate, and currently have two cars on my policy, and am happy with my rate. I just traded one of the cars in for basically the same car, but the smaller version with fewer options (mostly luxuries, it has all the safety features). It is worth about $3,000 less than the car I traded in. When I called to make the change. They told me it will double my premium. No changes to any aspect of the policy, coverages, etc. A less valuable car. I cannot find a single reason my premium would increase at all, much less double. Anyone have any ideas? UPDATE: Thank you all for your input. I’ll never know the answer to what they were thinking because I immediately called another (well known, reputable) company and within 15 minutes had a new policy that’s 30% less than my ORIGINAL policy was. UPDATE 2: To the people who are digging in on “statistically it must just be more expensive to insure,” just…no. Aside from the obvious fact that no significant differences exist from one year to t

I submitted a claim on 4/12 for my three year old domestic shorthair cat for a diagnosis of FHS. On the claim I asked for reimbursement of the medicine ( Gabapentin ) and the cost for the emergency visit. I submitted all medical records as requested. Today 4/29 and the claim is still in review. I signed up for Lemonade when my cat was a kitten. He has no pre existing conditions and I take him to all his annual vet appointments. Lemonade is not very communicative. I only received correspondence when I reached out to them asking for an update. They say they are working on processing the claim as quickly as possible. Is this normal turn around time?
