I had surgery on May 8th. At that point, I had not yet met my deductible or out of pocket max. I was told that I would owe $3,500. $150 to go towards my deductible and the remaining going towards everything else. I paid them $2000 as a deposit before the surgery leaving me with a balance of $1,500. I was told at that time that as long as everything was covered by my insurance. If at any point I met my max out of pocket, that I shouldn’t owe the hospital any more money, even if there was still a balance remaining. I also had another surgery on May 12th. I knew that between both surgeries, I would cover my out of pocket max for my insurance. I got two bills in the mail about a month later one for the first hospital for $1,500 and one for the second for about $2,000 I called my insurance and explained that I met my max out of pocket so I shouldn’t owe anything. They said they submitted claims to both hospitals and that it should be taken care of. I was still receiving bills for both hospitals so I called my insurance again and they said that the second surgery was covered and the claim was being finalized but that they weren’t seeing anything for the first surgery as far as claims go and that I needed to contact the hospital and have them give my insurance a call. I contacted the hospital and they said they would not contact my insurance because everything looks right on their end and that my insurance needs to contact them. I have since contacted both my insurance and the hospital and they are saying that the other needs to be the one to call and that “we don’t call them, they need to call us.” The only thing is that the hospital suggested that maybe I put them on a 3 way call. Anyone who knows about insurance and what I should do, please help. Also I’m sorry this is so long 😅

Windshield had some severed cracks that started to spider out and had to be fully replaced/recalibrated. Before having it fixed, I filed a claim with my insurance company (progressive). My claim was denied as I hadn’t yet met my comprehensive deductible and didn’t have glass coverage at the time. I added the glass coverage a couple weeks after the claim was denied to make sure I’m covered in future events. I finally saved up enough to have the windshield replaced and recalibrated just this week. My question: Is the amount I paid out of pocket for this replacement eligible to go towards my comprehensive deductible for any future issues? My biggest concern is that I just don’t want it to look like I’m trying to commit insurance fraud by submitting a second claim for the same thing after just adding the glass coverage. Appreciate any help.

So, in December my son took one of our cars from Florida to Virginia for university. VA required limits are much higher than in FL and changing the limits, plus garaging the car in VA, raised our Progressive policy to almost 3 times it's cost. Instead, it was suggested by the insurer we get a different policy for the car in VA. And we did so, through Geico. Now we have 1 policy in VA for my son and I and 1 car. One policy in FL for my son and I and the other car. Today, I received a notice from the state of FL that they are going to cancel my registration because the Cadillac (car in VA under Geico policy) doesn't have insurance, according to their records). Sigh. Will FL accept the VA policy? I can't really register the car in VA since I don't live there and the car is in my name. And both the kid and I have FL licenses because he is a student, so his residence is still FL. Is the only solution to pay 3 times the amount?

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!

I’ve been thinking about getting Lemonade Pet Insurance for my dog, but I’m not really sure if it’s a good deal or just another scam. I’ve read some reviews that say Lemonade Pet Insurance is affordable and quick to process claims, but others mention hidden fees and terrible customer service. Honestly, I don’t want to end up paying all this money and then having Lemonade Pet Insurance deny my claim when my dog gets sick. Has anyone here actually used Lemonade Pet Insurance long-term? How’s the coverage, especially for things like emergencies or hereditary conditions? Would love to hear real experiences before I make a decision.

So I moved to the US from Europe over a year ago and have been using progressive since they insure people without a state license (I live in MA). I paid 1200 dollars every 6 months until just now when I spoke to my friend who also moved here at the same time and he paid way less on a much newer muscle car. I call progressive and they do a reqoute and my policy gets cut in half and I now pay 640 every 6 months. I feel like they entered some wrong information the first time around - do I have any recourse for them to pay me back if they misentered information the first time around? Of course I accepted the payment and condition so maybe there's just nothing to do. My friend who I compared policies with has the exact same coverage and started off at the much lower rate of \~600$.

I just got car insurance for my new car and I got a letter days later saying they were missing a “signed application” from me. What does that even mean? I then called the customer service line and they put me on hold for an hour so I gave up. This was first acceptance car insurance

Hi all - I was wondering what the likelihood that my Appeal that I finally sent in will be successful or if I'm just going to continue getting the runaround from United Healthcare. At this stage is it worth doing anything else (or do I have to wait until the Appeal plays out?) Some details... The claim that I filed with United Healthcare had all the correct, relevant, and necessary information including the in-network Tax ID, the Practice’s pertinent information, the doctor’s name, itemized receipts (two – one paid with FSA and one paid with credit card), and other pertinent claim-related information. United Healthcare processed the claim as out-of-network, but the Practice is in network, which made me receive +/- $3,000 less in reimbursement than I should have (due to that money going to an out-of-network deductible). I have called United Healthcare more than 15 times now across 3 months to see what else is needed and to fix the wrongly coded EOB and I’m always told that United Healthcare made a processing error and will fix it – but it never happens months and months later. The EOB erroneously states that this was an out of network event, but everything was in-network, and I have coverage for the procedure on my plan. Once again, every time I have called United Healthcare, they have told me that I’m right, that they are ‘backing out’ of the old claim and will fix it, and every time nothing has been fixed. I just called earlier this week, and the 15th advocate I spoke with (after taking 20 minutes to look over all the times I called and notes) said I was 100% absolutely correct, I should have received an EOB saying it was in-network, and the determination was wrong, but folks keep coding it – inexplicably – as out of network. She encouraged me to appeal....which I just did. Expectations of what may come next? Thank you.

I bought a car rental through Kayak/Priceline in November and was offered rental insurance through RentalCover. Purchased the rental insurance and got a policy. During the trip I caused some damage to the bumper and it had to be replaced so I started a claim with RentalCover, but it's been sitting at the status "under assessment" for over two months. The rental company has a claim specialist asking me for an update every week. I've tried contacting RentalCover multiple times through email, chat, and the contact form but I've never heard back for an update on what's going on. They have no phone number available to speak with a person. I'm not sure what to do. I'm afraid the rental company will demand payment, but the rental insurance is completely unresponsive. Do I just keep waiting? Get a lawyer? Try to claim with my normal insurance? Edit: the accident occured in Colorado.

I got a much better quote from New York life insurance for a life policy then my current State farm policy. It's my busy season of work and I was hoping to be able to docusign or just cancel over the phone. I was told I need a wet signature which means I'll have to take off a day or half off work. Part of me wants to just cancel my auto and home policies as well with them over this. Are they just being difficult with me or is this standard with State farm?
