Hey guys , so this happends to me , My son was involve in an car accident last year (few months ago). He was driving his scooter to school on a traffic light he make an line change and got hit by a car(He is a Minor).After few days we got the police report saying that was my sons fault. Nearly January I receive an letter from NCS saying that I need to pay them 14k！The insurance of the other guy was nationwide. It was just a small accident so this looks not normal to me. Being an minor and on an scooter on his way to school hitting by a car was very stressful and know we need to pay over 14k out of my pocket. Just want to ask if NCS a scam? Should I pay the balance?

Hi! So I've enrolled into healthcare marketplace back in November, and I've hit a major health issue since then and my current healthcare provider is absolutely helpless and don't seem to care enough to help me ( I have Kaiser Permanente). Is there anyway I can switch insurances past the deadline (I know its so late now) but I'm quite fed up, and super frustrated. Any advice helps! Thank you for reading\~

Hi all! I have a 13 year old German shepherd mix Pitbull grandpa baby with no pre existing conditions. I took him to the vet recently and it looks like he may have signs of arthritis at his back legs. Aside from that he is relatively healthy and has a few years strong(hopefully) My question is whether to continue my current insurance with nationwide or switch to something relatively cheaper/better or stash cash. I recently used it for his visit and they only covered 70 % of the visit, vaccine was not included and I have a 250 deductible. My premium is about 200 a month. My family and I think aside from emergencies and possible end of life care we’re not sure if the premium is worth it. Any advice is deeply appreciated!

At the end of 2024 my wife visited an allergist to try and get a handle on her allergies. A boat load of testing later and she needs allergy injections for her horrific environmental allergies to attempt to get control of them. Everything is good with this allergist at this point. It’s the end of December 2024 and the allergist informs her at her appointment at the end of the next month (January 2025) she will owe $1500 to start her year long series of injections. We have a HDHP with HSA so we totally understand that cost because the deductible resets. Well life punched us hard over the next month and my wife has ramped up her attempts to find a new job because she is so unhappy at her current one. Given everything going on and the fact that she isn’t sure if she will continue to have the same insurance or access to the same provider to complete the allergy injections if she gets a new job, she decided now isn’t a good time to start the allergy injections. So she cancelled her appointment 48 hours prior to the scheduled appointment. This provider did not give her any kind of verbal, written, mimed, carrier pigeon, etc policy related to appointments, billing, and/or payment policies for the practice. Nothing. So at the beginning of February 2025 she received a bill from Quest for the bloodwork she had done in December 2024. Two of the bajillion tests requested by this provider were not covered and it was going to cost us almost $700 out of pocket (whole separate issue we’re handling). She couldn’t find an EOB so I told her to log onto the portal to see if she could download it. Well she logs onto the portal and there are $2,000 worth of claims submitted from this allergist in mid January 2025. They were not the claims related to her appointments in December 2024 and they were submitted two weeks before she cancelled her first allergy injection appointment. To make a long story short, the allergist prepped the injection two weeks before my wife’s first allergy injection over the course of 3 days and submitted the claim to insurance for it. The doctor’s office is saying she is responsible for the bill and I’m saying that sounds like fraud for billing for treatment she never received and was prepared without any kind of contract or informed consent to give her the opportunity to prevent this from happening. My wife has spoken with 2 different insurance reps and one was like yeah you’re responsible and the other said I’m referring you to our fraud department. The doctor is entirely unhelpful and has refused to communicate with her on 1. Why there is no practice policy to avoid this situation and 2. How long that injection mixed up in good for and 3. What happens if she stops doing the injections after one appointment. What do we need to know about this? Is this fraud? Should we push to not be responsible for this cost? Did my wife make a mistake somewhere in understanding how allergists operate and missed what is the obvious to the field she should have cancelled her appointment at minimum two weeks before it was scheduled?

So my driving record is pretty good, all of my scores are at 100. Last month in June, I was getting on the interstate and had to pick up speed quickly so I got marked for acceleration and cornering. Those 2 events brought me down to 60 something from 1 time. Usually after I have an event, it doesn't take long for me to get back up to 100 as I don't like to accelerate as quick. It's been over a month with no other events and it won't go up. I drove yesterday and my score was 89 for acceleration and 88 for cornering. After my 3 trips I checked the app and hour later and it went up to 90 and 89. This morning I get back on and it dropped both to 88 even though I haven't driven since yesterday. I called 3 customer service lines and my local state farm representative and I'm getting the run around. My 6 months discount is for August so I'm wondering if it's doing this intentionally so I don't get as big as a discount when I'm up to 100 for everything.

Wife and I started a new policy being as ours ended with our previous company and we were under the impression. Everything was good. We were waiting for them to pull the payment we had our ID insurance card sent to us. We were even using their snapshot app during that time, my wife back into the neighbors vehicle, which was parked illegally And the door luckily my neighbor super cool about it but a few days after that happened progressive recanted the policy and I am worried I’m gonna have to pay out cash is what it is. I just wanna know what my options are and if progressive can be held to pay for the damages, even if they recounted their policy, after the fact

This may be an easy fix but I’m all kinds of jumbled and need someone to explain it to me like I’m 5. I have Anthem Pathways through the marketplace. We used a company to help us get that insurance. So already my mind is boggled…so many moving parts. I have an account on Anthem that lets me see EOBs for myself. These EOBs are important because I use them to upload to the company I mentioned before in order to get reimbursed through my workplace. Still with me? I want to be able to add my son’s EOBs because that will help us reach our family OOP faster. Problem is, I haven’t been receiving his EOBs. I figured I would add him as a dependent on my Anthem account and could get those. No such luck. After looking and looking for a way to do this, I emailed Support. They told me that since I have a plan through marketplace, I need to call something called the Exchange?? What is that?? And that they will review something, send it over to Anthem, and then I can put my son on and see all his info. Please break this down for me. What does it all mean? What do I need to do in order to get his EOBs? Why is this all so effing complicated? I hope I gave enough info. Please let me know if there is something missing that could help me. Thank you so much in advance.

Does anyone have experience with this company? I don’t expect any claims but how are they in this area? I’ve had Foremost for several years but this renewal they screwed me with 3x increase. No claims. I’m in SoCal. Apparently another broker couldn’t find me a quote and my current broker has ignored several of my inquiries for options. I understand it’s tough to get affordable fire insurance in Cali. Arghhhh

Hello everyone, I have a question. I was recently involved in a not-at-fault accident with an Allstate-insured driver. Unfortunately, my own insurance canceled the night before the accident, so I did not have PIP coverage. Allstate has informed me that I’m responsible for a $7,400 medical bill, despite them reserving $5,500 for future medical expenses related to the accident. If they have funds set aside for medical expenses, why can’t those be applied to the existing bills? I do not feel they are actuinh in good faith. Would it be advisable to seek legal assistance at this point? Thank you for any insights.

Idk but this happened nung January pa this year, but I have come to notice that yung mga agents nila sa malls (esp sa SM) are not working professionally. I get that gusto nila makabenta pero di naman tama yung 'tactics' nila. Kaya napagkakamalan silang scam eh. Well my personal experience, would say parang na scam nako. May babaeng lumapit claiming na may ibibigay daw silang prize if sasali ako sa "raffle" kuno nila, makikipag usap tapos pupuriin pa then the next thing I know is papuntahin ako sa office since kukunin ko daw yung prize without knowing na dito na mag sisimula yung kalbaryo ko. May FA na kumausap, mag bibigay ng advise or whatever. Ako naman, I thought nag mamarket lang, umabot kami ng 45 minutes don then yun na pala, ipa aavail na ng policy nila. I declined first, sabi ko "your agent said na di kayohihingi ng kahit anong money or what, so bakit kailangan kong bumili ng policy niyo?" Nagalit pa yung FA, inulit yung mga sinabi kanina. Ang ending napabayad ako ng about 9k good for three months na yun. Nakakbweset lang kasi bakit kailangan mang linlang, and bakit may pamwersa sa mga tao kung tatanggi. If you're a professional, you would not get mad at someone saying "AYOKO", and in the first place dapat di na kayo nag sinungaling na wala kaming babayarang kahit na ano. - just a rant lang, nag lapse na yung policy ko since di ko na tinuloy yung pag hulog, sana napakain nila mga pamilya nila sa 9k na kinuha nila.
