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.
Progressive - Progressive Snapshot with Tesla FSD
So we now know one of two things - either snapshot is designed poorly or FSD brakes too hard in a model 3. I don’t use anything except FSD and the best I’ve been able to score is 4 out of 5 stars all because of what it thinks is hard breaking - apparently snapshot isn’t designed for autonomous driving. PGR , time to wake up!
Blue Cross Blue Shield - Need surgery- as of YESTERDAY hospital stopped contracting with BCBS
I recently had a life event (job) that allowed me to change my plan. I chose blue cross blue shield options, because the doctor I need to get a surgery from is in network with them! As of yesterday the hospital in Dallas is not in contract with blue health blue shield anymore.... would this be enough to qualify for another life changing event? This doctor is one of the few specialists that preform this micro nerve surgery. I heard soemtimes hospitals and insurance companies come to agreement and they will start accepting my insurnace again.
Auto-Owners Insurance - Switching from incompetent agency for inability to cover
So this is a bit long and involved. I’m a 25M who just moved back home to take over a family business after a family member was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. We have a block of commercial units we rent out, most of them under one roof, and two units disconnected from the main building. In total we have about 75,000 SF of commercial retail space.
Problem is when the landlord has Alzheimer’s they forget to do important things like carrying insurance on the main building with 65,000 SF. So I went to the insurance agency we’ve always went through for literally everything commercial or otherwise. They insisted for two months that I had coverage on all the properties (unfortunately I don’t have that in writing) despite being unable to provide a bill or declarations listing the units. It took me ambushing the agent at the office an hour away and showing her a map of the property for her to understand that despite the disconnected units being covered, the main building and parking lot carried no coverage. She had never even audited the property or looked at it on maps nor visited it.
She finally says she’ll get working on adding the main units to the policy, and today she emails me right before she leaves to tell me there is no way possible for auto-owners to cover us as we have two restaurants on the property (my gf used to work as a receptionist at a different agency auto-owners does do commercial coverage for restaurants in my area). So now I’m stuck here with no insurance on a multimillion dollar lot because I get the feeling the agent doesn’t feel like rewriting the policy.
All of my families coverage for everything is through this agency and auto-owners but the agency is incompetent at the very least and it’s evident I need to switch agencies at least. The only experience I have with insurance prior to this is renters insurance and personal auto, I’m really at a loss for where to start or what I should be switching around. Any advice or guidance is appreciated.
State Farm - $399 for two cars and renters…am I getting screwed?
I’m in Illinois and have a pickup truck and a minivan. I also rent a house from my in-laws. I have State Farm for my policies and they have been going up and up and up the last few years. My coverages are standard and I have no claims or tickets on record.
Health Insurance - Is this fraud? Health insurance added extra funds for prescriptions to my out-of-pocket maximum, but I am concerned it was a system error.
I picked up a few prescriptions in January for a Tier 2/$30 copays. This was a transition fill because my employer switched pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) and the medications were not on the new formulary. They said the lower cost was a grace period and standard of care while appealing for an Exception For Coverage.
A few weeks later my Exception For Coverage for the medications were approved so I paid Tier 3/30% coinsurance on the next fills in February. The Exception For Coverage was backdated to January 1st, 2025. Then, the following month it looks like the PBM reprocessed the January fills as a Tier 3/30% coinsurance and the additional cost was applied to my out-of-pocket maximum accumulator through my health insurance.
I'm not sure what is going on here? I called the PBM and was advised that they will not recoup cost from me and they will not ask the pharmacy to reprocess the claim. The OOP max was never mentions previously, but the representative confirmed that my current out-of-pocket maximum (with the added amount) was accurate as well.
Is this common practice for PBMs? Or, could it have been a system error? Has anyone else had something like this happen to them? I am so confused about this because I have not been billed for the additional increase in coinsurance from the PBM, but it feels like fraud since I know the numbers do not add up.
Blue Cross Blue Shield - Doctor is in network but Hospital is not? Procedure is covered under insurance since it's ACA complaint.
I went in for my sterilization a few weeks ago and was SO excited to finally have it done. I have BCBS and my doctor's office said that insurance will cover the procedure 100%. But when I got to the hospital they said it would cost $10,000 because the hospital is not in network. Is the hospital correct on this or do I need to contest it because my insurance is ACA compliant? Can I contest it before the surgery so I'm not potentially stuck with a stupid huge bill?
Wawanesa - Cancelling Canadian Wawanesa Auto Insurance – $3,600 Fee?! I Can’t Afford That – Need Advice
Hey Reddit,
I’m a 27-year-old male, single, no spouse or kids, living in Mississauga. I moved to Canada last year on PR, got my G license, and financed my first car (Honda Civic Hybrid 2025) in late November. I’ve had Wawanesa auto insurance ever since, paying $750/month through automatic withdrawal.
Here’s the full picture:-
I originally got this car not just for personal use, but also with the intention to do Uber Eats. I wanted to stay completely legit, so I was upfront with every insurance provider I contacted. They all told me that due to my lack of Canadian driving history, I wasn’t eligible for regular commercial insurance. So I went through a broker, and he found me a commercial policy with Wawanesa that would cover Uber driving.
I also have a main job just 30 seconds walk from my house, and I have a couple of major licensing exams coming up, so Uber is going to take a backseat for the next few months anyway.
That’s why I’m thinking of canceling my insurance or switching to a non-commercial plan, but here's the problem:-
I’ve heard that canceling before the end of the term means Wawanesa could charge a short-rate cancellation fee, and someone said it might total around $3,600 upfront in my case since my policy started around November, 2024.
I simply don’t have that kind of money in my account.
If I don’t cancel, they’ll just take another $750 in the first week of April, as usual.
Also worth noting:-
I have a clean driving record since getting my G license here in Canada, except one camera ticket I got in Brampton for going 7-8 km/h over the limit.
I’ve used TD Bank’s auto insurance calculator and it showed that I could probably get a non-commercial plan in the mid-$400s—which is way more reasonable.
The broker who arranged my current plan hasn’t been very transparent & hasn't even been responding to my calls or texts recently, so I’m planning to contact Wawanesa directly when their office opens.
So here are my questions while I lose sleep over this:-
1. Any preparation tips on what I should say or talk or do on my upcoming phone call with Wawanesa? (I'm completely new to all of this)
2. If I cancel now, will I still be charged the full $3,600 upfront?
3. Can I negotiate or pay the cancellation fee in installments?
4. If I do cancel, what should I look out for?
5. Is there any way to downgrade to a non-commercial plan instead of canceling altogether?
6. What would you do in my situation? Any personal experience with Wawanesa or brokers?
I know I should probably just call Wawanesa and ask all this, and I will once they open. But since I can’t sleep and this is really stressing me out, I figured I’d toss it out to Reddit too. Appreciate any advice you all have.
Thanks!
Banfield - Banfield Pet Package
I have one of my dogs on insurance, the other one isn't, both of them ended up with allergies before I was able to get insurance going (my first girl showed clinical signs in the first 2 weeks). It's unfortunate as they're both rescues and it's a bit out of my control as they weren't puppies when I got them. I'm thinking about cancelling my first girls because it's done absolutely nothing for me, and switching to Banfield's care packages. I currently pay $45 a month for one of mine.
Just curious if anyone has experience with them, and if so do they think it's worth it over actual pet insurance?
Assurant - Should I include Liability in my Renter's policy if it's covered by rental company?
I'm thinking of changing my renter's insurance of 8 years Assurant (Actually did some research and did not hear good things about them) to bundle with USAA. My apartment company has an "insurance fee" as part of the lease which covers liability, so all I would need is coverage for property. Since liability is now part of the lease, I was thinking of dropping liability from renter's policy to save some money. Is there any reason why I should keep liability on my renter's policy that I can't think of?
