After years of paying for Trupanion premiums, with hardly any claim at all (only a small amount for thyroid pills) this company blindsided me with an increase in premium, $70 to $118!, a $48 increase/month! They offered a lot of mumbo-jumbo about cost increases in our area. Well we pay for the routine care and it hasn't gone up, maybe minimally but nothing warranting that kind of increase. Now our dog is old so I won't be able to get any other insurance so I'm stuck with them. But we will be moving our younger dog out of that company ASAP. Just warning you all about this company, no loyalty to long time customers.

Hello! I am struggling to find a good plan for my older cat. I am moving out for college and my apartment requires my cat has insurance. My family never considered pet insurance for her, so it's quite a struggle. Im an undergrad and I love my cat a lot, I grew up with her. She's the cutest torbie short hair with a beautiful coat. But she is 12 years old, with quite a few preexisting conditions. She has arthritis issues and a pretty bad knee, a partially amputated tail from cysts, and has had teeth issues as well. Honestly, considering her pre-existing conditions, I know I will not get much from insurance besides maybe small coverage for check-ups. Lemonade will not let me file for her because of her age. If anyone has recommendations, I am considering a cheaper policy. I am looking into FIGO, but obviously, I have seen bad reviews for every company so I am pretty stuck on what to do.

I was in an accident 12/29. My car was totaled by my insurance company (State Farm). They called my creditor (Upstart) to get a payoff total. They gave my claims agent a “10-day guarantee payoff quote.” The insurance company sent the payment in full and it processed within 4 days. The insurance company now owns the title of the car (I’ve confirmed this twice). I theoretically should owe nothing on this loan as the quote given was paid in full and the title has already been transferred. However, the creditor is still trying to charge me my monthly payments. My claims agent said they called and confirmed with the creditor that everything was indeed taken care of and the car has been paid off. He said I should no longer be getting charged payments. I figured maybe it would just take time to process the transfer or the loan payoff but my account is now past due because they’ve tried to take 2 more monthly payments. I have called several times to dispute it (because I was told it should not be my responsibility as the loan was already paid in full!) but they just say they’ll transfer me to a supervisor and then I’m on hold for 30 minutes before the line just disconnects. I’ve emailed. I’ve called. I don’t know what else to do and I cannot afford to pay these extra payments with accrued interest and late fees but it just keeps accruing. Nor should I have to since the creditor doesn’t even own the car anymore and they got all the money they asked for. Any advice in this situation is appreciated.

Terrible company. Find any excuse, especially bogus "pre-existing conditions" to avoid any reimbursement. Avoid and look elsewhere unless you want to waste time on the phone appealing denials to no avail.

It takes them weeks to review claims. My dog had a diarrhea cause by a bacteria. My claim and appeal got denied because my dog had a diarrhea in 2021 and needed to prove that it’s not related. I even got a letter from my vet saying it’s a bacterial infection

I'm a 38/f with 3 young kids. I did an online application for term life insurance (no exam) with Ladder for 750k/30yr. I have no medical issues other than familial high cholesterol controlled with statin, non smoker, no pre-existing conditions etc. They quoted me at 117 a month. I know no exam is generally higher than traditional, but this seems off to me. Is it me, or is this very high? Could the cholesterol be that much of a factor?

I had an MRI arthrogram ( contrast for hip labrum and joint) and it was coded 27093, 77002, and 73722. And then the pharmacy drugs. My insurance is trying to bill this a surgery as they say code 27093 is under the surgical code section in the CPT guidelines. Normally I would have 100 percent coverage for any outpatient clinic ( non hospital) MRIs. My insurance says even though this was not done at a surgical centre or with a surgeon ( only a radiologist), they can charge me as if it was a surgery and therefore also charge the radiologist as surgeon fees. Does this make any sense at all? That way they say I have to pay 20 percent of the whole package of MRI ( 73722), Radiology diagnostic ( 77002) , and the local anesthetic used by the radiologist prior to the iodine injection ( 27093). So even though my work insurance normally would cover radiology diagnostic and all imaging at 100 percent, they say because of 27093, this is now a full blown surgery and only covered at 80/20 rather than 100 percent. Is this true? I will post in CPt code section.

I currently have Progressive but they just jacked up rates without even a "hey we are going to raise your premium from next month". Erie Insurance is highly recommended but they seem to have strict criteria such as 3 year residency status (which is what an agent told me) hence am looking for other options. I am looking for good customer service - does not give you the run around when you need them. Decent prices. I am not looking for the lowest rates but at the same time something that is fair. And transparent. I kinda feel cheated by Progressive who slyly raised the rates. Am based in PA if that matters. Any suggestions welcome. Thank you.

I currently have Spot but they decided to raise my premium with no real extra benefit (as most insurance companies do around this time of year). I am now getting charged around $40 a month for a $500 deductible, 90% reimbursement after deductible and no preventative care. Is this fair? Also if anyone has actually filed a claim and been satisfied with the company/experience which was it? Any company I should avoid all together? Insight would be nice! (side note: I was looking at Progressive coverage since I could bundle with auto but idk if that's a good idea)

I am currently 2 months pregnant and just recently went for my 2nd pre-natal routine checkup. They performed a papsmear, and a ton of blood testing since I am almost 40yrs and it may be in the high risk category for pregnancy. Before I went in to see the doctor. The people at the front desk assured me that my Ambetter plan covers everything that needed to be done. But today, I received a letter in the mail from ambetter saying that I was denied for "Genetic Testing" as it falls out of their covered services. I am really stressed out about this and don't know what I should do. The people at the doctor's office told me they cover it, and ambetter is telling me otherwise. I also signed up for CHIP perinatal and wonder if that covers Genetic Testing.
