I have been driving for nearly 25 years. I have nearly a completely clean record but didn't drive for a while up until a couple years ago. I am looking for any suggestions for sources to get the beat rates possible. Are there Any websites anyone knows of that are noteworthy? And trustworthy? I love my agent but I can't keep paying progressive $2000 a year (discounted 200-300 every 6 months for paying in full) for basic state minimum coverage (no collision etc)

Hi guys, I am a foreigner who arrived to the US last year due to work. I had auto insurance for 4-5 months and wanted to change and see if I could get something cheaper. In March I finally found one who could half my monthly insurance cost which we settled the same day. The broker confirmed all details that I am a foreigner, with an international license, 7 years driving experience OUTSIDE the US. 2 weeks ago, Progressive sends me an e-mail that a automatic payment will be made in April of $1107. I had no clue what this was, as the broker told me the cost would be $106 monthly. I immediately call Progressive and they inform med that the broker most likely inserted incorrect information or misunderstood how to fill out their quoting system. They also tell me, that they send me physical mail to my address that the insurance was not eligible and the policy was updated to reflect my correct details. But I am yet to receive this mail, which according to them was sent the day after I approved the quote I was sent. What concerns me a lot… - Why did Progressive not send anything in regards to this change? - only my State ID was given to the broker and as I understand with my prior insurance company, they require my international- and foreign driver’s license to insure me - can they update it without me confirming/agreeing to this change? I have called and mailed the broker which is yet to answer and pending their response. What do you do, in this case? Location: North Carolina

Has anyone had their Geico premium suddenly jump after switching from pay in full to monthly payments? I changed the billing method thinking it would just add a small fee but then got a new declaration with a much higher rate of 25% increase. Support says it was unrelated and just part of a regular rate adjustment but the timing feels off. I didn’t change anything else in my policy and my neighbors didn’t see any increase. Curious if others experienced this or if it’s worth escalating.

So, I’m planning on buying a Dalmatian puppy within the next few months and wanted to figure out which insurance I plan to go with before taking the puppy home. I’ve heard pretty good things about Lemonade, and they had a reasonable starting rate, but that went so high when I imput my information. It ended up being about $100/mo without add-ones such as dental or routine vet. Maybe I just don’t get insurance as I’m buying from a very good breeder who has heath testing/CHIC numbers, temperament tested parents, etc? I guess I’m just confused how a 3/mo old puppy of a breed that’s very healthy compared to a lot of breeds people have, can cost so much more than the base rate. This is my first time perusing insurance for a pet so forgive me if I’m missing something obvious here.

Hi everyone, my 77 year old dad is visiting me in May. It's his first time in the US. He has a COPD condition and we recently came to know from his doctor that he needs supplemental oxygen. He had to do a bunch of tests (spirometry, Hypoxic challenge) to qualify for it. The thing is once he is here and it's time To go back, the airline needs him to redo the tests that he's already done. I talked to INF and it looks like they only cover an onset of a pre existing condition. But, this counts as ongoing care. Can anyone recommend an insurance that will be helpful in this case? Thank you so much.

I have an 8month old puppy. He had some bile vomiting before our insurance kicked in. Long story short, he was sick recently and we thought he swallowed something. When I put the claim in Lemonade denied me. They said vomiting is a "pre-exisiting" condition. Which is nuts? Has anyone dealt with this? Am I crazy to want to switch insurances? Will this ever go away?

My dog was thrown off a balcony by what I believe was the neighbors kid. Broke both of her front legs. I have the police involved and investigating. The vet bill was over $13k. Her bones are being fused to reduce the chance of lifelong pain from this. Here’s the deal, I put $5000 down for the surgery (and paid another $1500 for the initial emergency vet visit.) The claims rep is asking for proof the balance I owe the vet is 0 and that the invoice is paid in full. I read the policy and there’s nothing in there that says I have to prove that it was paid in full. The closest I found was this: “Submitting your claim To expedite your claim review, please file your claim as soon as you can. However, in cases where this isn't possible, we'll accept claims for review up to 180 days from the date of treatment. We require itemized invoices and receipts detailing your pet's information, date of treatment, cost of the services, and the vet's information. You must provide all requested information and documentation during the claims process. All claim payments will be made to you, unless otherwise assigned by you and agreed to by us.” I pointed this out, told the agent I provided all the listed information and also pointed out that she has already tried two times to falsely deny my claim. (Initially she said I had coverage with someone else then said my policy was canceled.) I also asked her where in the policy I am required to provide what she is asking. Can they force me to pay this in full before they refund me? I put the $5000 on credit cards with a 40% interest rate so I’m trying to get this resolved asap. I’m beyond stressed, but thankful the vet at least allowed us to put $5000 for surgery instead of forcing us to put her down because I don’t have access to that sort of money. Even the $5000 was difficult to acquire. Yes I realize now I made a bad insurance decision but that doesn’t help me in this immediate moment.

We were just kicked off our car insurance policy after 22 years of being loyal customers because my daughter filed a claim after an accident where she was not at fault, her 1y/o son was in the car at the time. Their reasoning for terminating our policy is that I didn’t list her then 3 month old son at the time of filling out the attention letter back in December. We’re in Michigan, how is this legal?

I might get flooded with 100 "No, why didn't you read the policy language" comments, but it's worth a shot! My partner and I have been with Trupanion for four years, and we have a love-hate relationship with it. (But it feels like that's common for most pet insurance providers -as with insurance in general). We have been fortunate to gain more financial stability in the past year and decided we wanted to add "Recovery Care" to our plan. This would raise our monthly premium from $145 to $190, but we decided it was worth it. However, when we reached out to Trupanion via online chat to add this coverage, they let us know that they have a policy that you cannot modify your policy \~at all\~ after 30 days of joining said policy. This is wild to me because financial circumstances change, and...why would they not want to get more money? Now I'm seriously considering changing providers. My question, before "jumping ship" from Trupanion is: has anyone gotten them to waiver on this policy? I'm also going to call their customer service line to see if I'd get more traction there compared to the online chat, but I thought I'd ask here too.

I have medi-cal through anthem blue cross in association with LA care health plan. I have never had Medicare part B. I had a ultrasound in october 2024 which was approved by my primary care provider. I just got a letter today from the centers for medicare and Medicaid services, fargo ND. It is saying that the ultrasound was not approved and i may be billed 220$ It also says i have not met my part B deductible of 240$ Again, i don't have medicare part B. Im not experienced with these insurance issues. I dont know if medi-cal already paid this or not, it's been almost 6 months. Is this medicare preparing to bill me for services already paid by medi-cal ? Thank you, input appreciated.
