Nationwide makes things so easy! My vet filed the form and a reimbursement check lands in my checking account a week or so later!

I am so glad I bought this pet insurance!
Didn't think we needed pet insurance since our Macy was a mixed breed. Turns out getting comprehensive coverage for Macy was the best decision ever! Coming from a rescue we were taking our chances on her overall health issues, and believe me, she has had some issues. Nationwide Pet insurance has really helped with the expense of taking care of our puppy's issues and has done away with the added stress of having to choose between her medical care and our budget. Thank you Nationwide!

Learning pet insurance
Learning the ropes of pet insurance. Had 20 years work experience doing mental health billing. This is a new world. Filing pet claims manually by mail, finally got online web access, as I’m on the smartphone most of the time. Nationwide has processed claims VERY timely, paid well on well visit part of insurance, EOB’s explained clearly what is deductible on other claims.

Great service, confusing app
I have been impressed with how quickly claims are reviewed and paid out.
I have to critique the app: Figuring out how to submit a claim the first time was very confusing. I work in software development and I could barely figure out the app - I would hate to think how it would have gone if it were someone else less tech-savvy trying to do it.
Also, I'm not a fan of having to click a link in an email and go to a page to accept a payment when a claim has been processed. To me, it's just an extra step that I have to go through and an opportunity for me to miss the email and not get the money I'm owed.
