Is it even legal for Healthy Paws pet insurance to increase premiums at almost 200% in CA? This is outrageously high!! Anyone experiencing the same? #healthypawspetinsurance

Hi! I took the SBMA MEC for just about a few months in late 2024 with a new job I started. I went to the doctors on November 12th and also received bloodwork but later I received a bill for $2000 for the bloodwork and $1265 for the Physician Office Visit. I am wondering if Minimal Essential Coverage doesn’t cover basic bloodwork? Last I was told, Labcorp was waiting to hear back from SBMA for covering the services but I guess the insurance never got back to them and I’m stuck with this bill :/ I will be contacting SBMA again and also Labcorp to see what I can do.

Hi all, I sold my business last year because it was not a profitable venture. The llc is closed and any remaining money was used to pay off equipment debts. The insurance company says I owe $10k in workers comp insurance for the previous year which they now have sent to a collections company. The business is closed and the llc is dissolved. Can they come after me personally for something like this?

I got an email today regarding an upcoming Progressive insurance payment of $455. I spat my drink and went to look up my policy and to my surpriced, Progressive added a Random dude to my Policy. I have no idea who he is at all. I called Progressive support line and they said they automatically added him because they "Think" he lived in my House. I was pissed and told them i did not consent or even call them to add him. They told me that i agree to their terms and condition bla bla. I got literally no heads up or any phone calls what so ever. They claimed the mailed me about the new change. I rarely check insurance docs as they are either bills i already paid or policy info. To make it worse, this dude has 2 Serious ticketsand an at fault accident. I been a loyal member for over a decade. 0 accidents, 0 tickets. They told me to call them on Monday to fix this "easy" mistake. I was gonna wait till Monday but i couldn't let this mistake fly so i cancelled my policy. I drive my car like once every few months anyways.

I have a 5 year old maltese with no pre existing conditions and currently use Nationwide. My dog had to have a simple surgery to have something removed on her eyelid and Nationwide only paid out ~10% of the claim. I am looking to switch carriers in exchange for better coverage. If I only wanted to insure against accidents, unexpected events, and not routine care like vet visits and bloodwork, what pet insurance company offers the best value? I am a bit lost and the marketplace for pet insurance seems to be large and growing. The goal is to have a lot of coverage for, say, a $4,500 surgery as the result of something unexpected. What does everyone think?

Hi all, years ago my brother was hit by an auto while he was on a bicycle. His auto insurance (State Farm) covered the meds r/t accident and any appointments. Every few years they would send him in for a reevaluation IPE so this time the person that did the Psych evaluation said he was over exaggerating his issues and that even though he has a traumatic brain injury he no longer qualifies to have his medication covered. He deals with/ depression, headaches, insomnia, the only med that is being covered is for his antidepressant. Im not sure how to advise him. Do we go back to the original attorney? Do we fight it? If so, how does that normally play out? My brother's accident happened over 15 years ago. He was not at fault. Even though all of his testing showed significant damage and he has never returned to his baseline, has poor memory, can't think when there are loud noises, and is now doing "manual" work vs. owning a business that he had to give up. Any help would be wond

nybody here have mediCal? (Govt free medical insruance in the usa for ppl under age 65 and unemployed or flat out broke). My uncle generously cash paid for my mcas doctor. I have a script for cromolyn sulfate, can I use the script at the pharmacy and will medi-cal pay for the meds? Usually people with California state Medi-cal for those under 65 are unemployed or too sick to work but not yet documented and broke like me, so qualify for medi-cal, but those doctors are the worst and most incompetent. My uncle paid a mcas doctor to see me, abd I got a script for cromolyn sulfate. Usually medi-cal will pay for my meds even if i saw a cash pay doctor. Or is it a situation whereby I need to prove that I used lower level meds and they didbt work before I get approved from cromolyn sulfate? Remember I tried to get triamcinolone cream under private insruance (blue cross blue shield), but they said i had to trial lower level creams and then fail those 2x first. Making me waste life energy and jump thru hoops so insurance company can save 20$.

My neighbor scraped my car in our shared apartment garage. I park right next to her every day, and the scratch on my vehicle lines up perfectly with damage on hers. To top it off, her paint color is visibly transferred onto my car and vice versa.. She’s claiming she didn’t do it, but I’ve already filed a claim with her insurance and an adjuster has reached out. The adjuster says they’re still trying to determine liability since my neighbor is denying everything. Here’s where I’m stuck: -Should I keep working with her insurance and try to prove it to the adjuster directly? -Or should I go through my own insurance (which would mean paying a deductible upfront) and let them fight it out behind the scenes? I’d prefer to avoid paying anything out of pocket, but I also don’t want to risk her insurer denying the whole thing and leaving me with the bill. Any insight from people who’ve been through this or know the industry would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

My insurer (Admiral) got in touch with me late last week advising me of a claim on my account that I needed to check. Unfortunately I was on holiday so have only had a chance to look into it today. However, I haven't been involved in any incidents at all - ever. I've never hit another car, had an accident, or been involved in a crash. My car has zero damage, no bumps or scrapes, even the paintwork is pristine (I use it infrequently) I've never once claimed on insurance, or even needed to. I checked the claim date and I happened to be travelling to London and back that day from Birmingham for work (my once in a lifetime trip, last minute so couldn't catch a train conveniently). I can say for sure that I wasn't involved in an incident that day as I spent it all either on a motorway or parked at a hotel attending a conference. The claim itself has no information attached for me to refute. I haven't had a chance to call them yet (it's on my to-do list for later today) but have emailed them asking for more information/clarity. What do I do from here? I'm confused, surprised, frustrated, and very worried that it's going to affect my insurance or future costs. Is it a fraudulent claim, or have I been claimed against in error? Any advice is much appreciate :)

I was in an accident May 2023 and my license was suspended on August 29,2023. I was at fault and I wasn’t insured (I know, totally my fault). I haven’t been called into court. So far I’ve only had debt collectors call me to have the accident paid for from State Farm for $15,322. I was searching on the Texas DMV site on ways to get my license reinstated and these were my options: 1. Notarized Installment agreement Form SR-19 OR 2. Notarized release Form SR11 OR 3. Proof of insurance covering date of accident OR 4. Security deposit with an SR-22 and SR-22A OR 5. Copy of Bankruptcy OR 5. Evidence of settlement OR 6. Form SR-60 if two years have elapsed from date of accident OR 7. Apply for an occupational driver license I’m thinking about the SR-22 but I’m not sure on how much the security deposit would be. But I was also thinking since it’s about to be two years since the suspension went into effect. Would I need to wait ANOTHER 2 years if I decided to go with the SR-60?
