A Reason to "smile" after Dental Surgery

My cat recently underwent dental surgery - his first procedure since his adoption a few years ago. Since I was very unfamiliar with the process, I depended on both the Vet's office staff as well as Nationwide customer service representatives to guide me through the process and answer my questions. The customer service I received at Nationwide was excellent. Prior to the surgery, I called to ask about the claim process and Rhonda was incredibly helpful. She talked me through the details of my current plan and even sent me followup information about the other options in case I wanted to change my plan in the future. After the surgery, I received a confirmation that my claim had been received. I had heard from other pet-owners that insurance doesn't always have great coverage for dentals, so I was quite surprised when I saw that Nationwide covered nearly the entire cost of the procedure (aside from the deductible and the cleaning - which is not included in the plan). I was reimbursed very quickly (I received my checks within a week of receiving the notice), and am very happy with the communication during and after the experience. I also find the Nationwide online portal to be very helpful and user friendly, and I will continue to use it in the future. I am considering changing my plan to also include wellness in the future, but the coverage I currently have was very adequate for this procedure. Thanks!

Good insurance

This is good insurance to have but the payment limits can be frustrating. My dog had cancer a few years ago and needs a checkup with his oncologist a few times a year, which includes an ultrasound each time. The radiology limit is so low that his insurance pays for less than one ultrasound per year. Overall, it has been a big help and it really helped us to get partial reimbursement for his chemo. Our other dog recently died but he had the upgraded plan that paid 90% of everything after a $250 deductible. That plan was awesome! They even paid for his cremation. Claims are easy to submit through the Vitus Vet app, and payment is simple with direct deposit. I have looked at other pet insurance companies and Nationwide has been superior to everyone else. If we get any more pets in the future we will insure them with Nationwide.

I Couldn't Do It Without Nationwide!

I have always been thankful for Nationwide, formerly VPI, Pet Insurance. I've had dogs with auto immune diseases, allergies, and battling with CCL tears with the current one. If it wasn't for Nationwide, I don't know how I would have managed without them. Customer service is always super friendly and extremely helpful. Submitting claims could not be any easier, and turn around time is fabulous. Thanks for everything Nationwide!

Simple and Easy

Working with Nationwide has been a simple and easy process. They respond via email and traditional mail to confirm receipt of a claim and provide a rationale as to why or how much of a claim has been covered. I am never left wondering where the claim is, what was approved and why it was or was not approved.

Best pet insurance!!!

I took out pet insurance eight years ago as an elderly person knowing that this new puppy (Maysie) would become more than just a pet, and not knowing what finances would be like in retirement. I reasoned that we could afford a small monthly payment and all preventative care, but couldn’t bear the thought of “putting Maysie down” for a fixable illness/injury because we couldn’t pay for it. I researched all current policies at the time and decided that Healthy Paws offered the best plan for us. So we signed Maysie up. I am so thankful we did!!! Maysie did turn out to be a family member, a constant companion going with us everywhere - even sleeping on the bed with us at night. We couldn’t love her more. Unfortunately, she has not been lucky with her health. She has had three major operations, the last of which was to remove a skull tumor. Healthy Paws has been right there with us each time. Claims are easy to file and payments are usually within a week. The company always sends emails asking how Maysie is doing. They have given her many extra years by allowing us to seek treatment that we would not have been able to afford. We are deeply in debt to Healthy Paws and thank them profusely. I always recommend them to anyone I talk to who is considering pet insurance. Nancy Holland
