Hello all, I am desperately trying to find health insurance coverage for my pregnant wife. She graduated college in December and went from a CNA to an RN with a start date of March 10th. Her HR told her that she would have a new open enrollment and that she could let her coverage lapse and gain new coverage when she started as an RN. This was before we knew she was pregnant and we were going abroad for a while and so we did not renew the insurance for 2025 thinking that we would just start it again in March. We thought that because she was still employed, there wouldn't be a waiting period for when she got her coverage but we found out today that she won't be covered until June. She is due in August so we definitely need tests done before June. We got denied on Pennie for a qualifying event (PA marketplace), short-term policies don't cover pregnancy, and I am under my mom's coverage so I don't have a policy she could come to. Please, if anyone has any insight into this, PLEASE help!

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?

My wife and I have car insurance through Progressive. We moved to CO 6 months ago and are paying ~$475 for 2 cars for the first 6 months. However, our premium went up to ~$625 for the next 6 month payment, and that’s after the lump sum payment discount. No clue why it raised in price because we haven’t gotten any tickets or been in any accidents and I haven’t modified the coverage at all. We did Snapshot and it says we’re going to be saving another $55 by continuing with snapshot, so I can’t imagine our driving patterns have increased our premium by $150. Online, it doesn’t say why it’s increasing. How can I reduce my premium without changing coverage? When I call and ask why my premium went up, will threatening to leave for another insurance provider force their hand to give me a lower rate? If so, what information should I come prepared with?

I currently have 3 cats. I've had policies with Fetch (previously known as PetPlan) for nearly 2 decades, and they have covered half a dozen different cats during that time, including my current trio. Fetch has never had the cheapest policies, and it always took a while for them to pay claims, but they always provided good coverage and did not engage in the scummy bait-and-switch practices so common to other pet insurance companies. All that changed Monday. To provide some background, two of my three cats are middle-aged littermates, a female and a male. The boy is generally healthy except for the occasional herpes virus flare up. He's had those since he was a kitten so Fetch considered them a pre-existing condition and has never covered any of those expenses. Fair enough. His sister suffered a serious illness in 2023 and was ultimately diagnosed with small cell intestinal lymphoma. Due to complications during the initial work up, she got aspiration pneumonia. She nearly died and had to spend 10 very expensive days in the ICU. She recovered from the near fatal pneumonia, but unfortunately the lymphoma is terminal and all we can do is give her medication to keep her comfortable and slow the progression. If we're really lucky we may get a couple more years with her. Since her diagnosis in 2023 she has had to see her vet every couple of month for blood tests because the medications suppresses her immune system and can have serious side effects. So, she incurs regular medical bills, but nothing near the expenses she incurred in 2023. Both cats had their policies renewed in 2024 with moderate increases in the annual premiums. Today I received my renewal documents for 2025, and I am absolutely floored by what Fetch has done: * **Fetch designated BOTH cats as high risk and forced them into high-risk policies.** * **The female's 2025 premium went up by about $75 to $1380 per year, but the deductible quadrupled to $1000 and my co-pay went from 10% to 40%!** * **Even though her brother has rarely been sick and never with anything serious, his 2025 premium increased by $817 to $2200 per year, his deductible doubled to $500 and my co-pay went from 10% to 30%!** I had expected the girl's policy costs might increase, but there is no justification for what Fetch has done with her brother's policy. I called Fetch to get an explanation and see what could be adjusted at least for the boy's policy. Their answer was, "Nothing." Take it, or leave it. This is how Fetch treats customers who've had policies with them for decades. Just a big middle finger. Fetch was bought by a huge private equity firm a few years ago and these predatory business practices are the result. Wall Street has been buying up veterinary practices and pet insurance companies with the goal of consolidating the industry into monopolies that will rob pet owners blind. For Fetch it's either pay up or put fido to sleep.

Non-working graduate student recently approved for Medicaid, but prior to this I had purchased my schools shitty student coverage. Obviously, the coverage for Medicaid beats the school insurance. I called the school insurance and asked them if I could cancel because I want Medicaid as my primary insurance but they told me that is not possible and won't give me a pro-rated refund. I paid $2000 at the beginning of the school year for the insurance for the whole year coverage, and I figured they would be able to refund me a portion of that since I wanted to cancel, but they seemed appalled I even asked to cancel and told me to kick rocks. It wasn't even the insurer, it was the insurance broker who told me this. Am I stuck with school insurance as my primary and Medicaid as my secondary? I don't want to just stop using my school insurance and start using Medicaid as that would technically be insurance fraud? Sorry if this is a strange question; I am not well-versed in this world. Thank you for your time

so long story short, i was side swiped the lady who hit me admitted it was her fault. i filed a claim with her insurance and they called me and sent me a link to an app to submit photos of the damage. the damage is scratches and dents on whole passenger side of my truck, along with damages on the wheel. i get a call the next day stating they went over the 'initial estimate' value at $330.87 lol, i took it a body shop to get an estimate for all damages and i got a quote for $9,800.. a little confused how the initial estimate works, i called my adjuster but they do such a poor job explaining it to me as you can sense english is not their first language and when i ask what that means they just repeat and read the statement to me. its the first time i have ever been in this kind of situation, can anyone help me? i have been stressing, but was blown away when they quoted me for $330 to repaint, and do body work and buy a new wheel on $80,000 truck.

**Odie is taking my monthly money and not holding up their end of the bargain.** **UPDATE:** Odie responded to my Google review and processed my three claims. They denied coverage for all of them, stating in the EOB "preexisting condition." My dog developed this condition while a policy holder on ManyPets, ManyPets processed claims for this condition regularly (which is why we have the insurance), and Odie stated there would be continuation of care. **I've filed a claim with my state insurance commissioner, thanks to the recommendation of this sub.** I was switched to Odie from ManyPets when ManyPets sold and want the world to know: ODIE IS A SCAM. GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN & DEF DON'T SIGN UP. Aside from the significant increase in monthly cost and 20k coverage limit on a previously unlimited plan, Odie is...nowhere to be found. My claims are not being processed, nobody answers the phone, the chatbot isn't responsive, and I literally cannot get any information.

I am due to give birth end of May. The hospital that my obgyn is partnered/contracted with is where I went on 03/01 because I had a pregnancy scare. I went straight to Labor & Delivery and was there for a couple of hours. The on-call obgyn is the one that saw me. I have NOT received a bill yet, only an EOB from my primary insurance, stating that the claim was denied. In the EOB- it was stating that the hospital is an out of network facility. However, I’ve spoken to my insurance directly few different times who said the hospital that I went to indeed is an IN-NETWORK facility. Now the last agent I’ve spoken to today told me “address where the service was rendered is confirmed to be outside the network for the facility. Here is what adoress of the facility showing on the claim” and it’s a complete different address than the hospital I went to, like in a whole different state. The first agent that I spoke a couple weeks ago stated the claim type says “outpatient hospital non contracting”. The last time I tried contacting the hospital themselves, the agent was saying I need a bill/statement account number, which I didn’t and still don’t have because I was never sent a bill as of today and he said to wait until I get a bill. It’s been over a month and I still haven’t received a bill from the hospital from when I went to 03/01. I was going to explain my situation and how I still haven’t received a bill but the billing office is now closed. I do have secondary insurance but they didn’t even receive a claim from hospital, which I am assuming they didn’t even bill my secondary. I’m just so confused and overwhelmed! Does this sound like the hospital submitted the claim incorrectly?

Had anyone else had a sudden very large increase on their auto insurance premium? I've had allstate for 1.5 years now, and it suddenly jumped up by over $100 a month with no changes. This seems to big a hike to just be rising insurance costs. Has anyone had a big increase as well? Or suggestions for what to do? I can never seem to get an answer from Allstate. One customer service person told me that Florida was having storms and this impacts insurance prices (I don't live in Florida). I'm thinking about just changing insurance companies :(

In my naïve early 20s (single and no kids) I bought into a NWM adjustable CompLife policy. Then expanded coverage a few years later at the advise of my “advisor”. I haven’t thought much about it until now, when my new husband and I were looking at our cash flow. I’m now feeling that I need to stop my donations to NWM and be smarter with my investments. I’m not maxing out other retirement options (ROTH, 401), and I feel that would better serve our future. Here’s what I’ve got going on: CompLife policy #1 Started: 09/2016 Annualized premium: $1242.72 (Monthly premium: $103.5) Payments since sept 2016: $102 Total paid: $10,557 Net accumulated value: $7,244 CompLife policy #2 Started: 06/2019 Annualized premium: $1799.40 (Monthly premium: 149.95) Payments since June 2019: 69 Total paid: $10,346 Net accumulated value: $7,068 Total benefit: $500,000 Should I cash this out? Roll it into something else? I don’t feel like NWM has my best interests at heart and I don’t want to be throwing money at an inefficient scheme. TIA
