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.

A couple of weeks ago a gentleman ran the stop sign in front of my house and used my new mudroom as a stopping mechanism. We were told to get an estimate from a contractor and they would cut us a check. We got a detailed estimate and the insurance company sent it out for review. The review came back with a 6000.00$ reduction in the estimate due to not enough detail on the labor side of the estimate. The insurance agent said that we could accept the money while we submitted an updated more detailed estimate to get the extra 6000.00$. Should we take the money while we wait for the contractor to update the estimate or should we get the updated estimate first?

Hi everyone, I am posting here because I have had a very frustrating experience with my auto insurance with statefarm and am looking for some advice. I am currently a graduate student in Florida so things can be a little difficult when it comes to have to budget with this huge bill I have now. Basically I have had statefarm since August of 2024 and the first 6 months of premium was fine, I paid all my bills on time and when it came to January 2025 when my new auto premium renewed I had increased slightly my premium but the difference in my monthly payments were around the same due to the discounts I got. Then somewhere in February I found out I had been dropped from the insurance due to a balance of a surcharge for policy change that I did not pay for. They then dropped me without notifying me so I found this out a little later. Throughout the few months from February from when I found out I was dropped to July (when the 6 months premium ends), I have been trying to reinstate my auto insurance back because I feel a little anxious driving in Florida without having an insurance active. The insurance agent office was super hard to reach, I had to re-explain my situation multiple times because the person most involved with my case was never available to talk, and they always said that they are working on it and that my insurance is still active and will get back to me regarding the balance/bills which they never did. I had to keep following up and finally in June-July ish, they had my policy reinstated. But now I have this giant bill where I have to pay both the remaining balance and the new insurance premium monthly. The insurance agent told me that the remaining balance was about $380 spread over 3 months and I had paid for the first installment already so I should have 2 more months of whatever was remaining of $380. After that first payment, I decided to switch over to another insurance agent because of their lack of communication and how long they took to process things. I think this was my mistake then because after switching over, the new insurance agent said that my remaining balance was about $500 remaining still even after the first payment that I have made towards the remaining balance. Now because of this issue, I have to be paying $300 per month (remaining balance spread over a few months + current insurance premium for the month) and I feel like my previous insurance agent had screwed me over? Is my only option is to just suck it up and pay the $500 like they said? I am just very upset because they also never have apologized to me and made me feel like I was at fault as well. I tried to switch over to another insurance company but I have not been getting better rates (car insurance is ridiculously expensive in Florida) and I rarely drive (last 6 months I have only driven 2300 miles) and I have to be paying an enormous amount ($128 per month) for me to be barely driving.

Is my first time applying. Seems like a good life insurance plan.

DO NOT BUY THIS INSURANCE.

Your processing time from submission to payment was so fast!!! Thank you

Metlife does a great job providing transparency on the different insurance you can choose from. The price is affordable and is so worth it for our fur babies! I always tell people they should purchase Metlife. It bring me comfort our babies can get the care that they need and we don't have to spend an arm and a leg...or should I say paw.

Thank goodness for pet insurance or we would have had to pay $500 for an infection!
