Best experience ever

With all that is going on with COVID-19 the last thing anyone needs is added expenses. When I took my dog to the vet for some testing due to having irregular breathing episodes the costs started to add up. Within days of filling my claim I had an answer and the money was on the way. I am so thankful for the support from Nationwide during this challenging time.

Wonderful and easy

Claim was super easy to file, and was all taken care of quickly. When I called with questions prior to submitting it, the customer service was great, and all my questions were answered.

Misinformation

The reimbursement process is convoluted. They only offer you to go through Chase Bank. We submitted 2 claims. One went ok. The 2nd one we never received anything yet. When we called they said they had a different email than what we provided. However the first time around they had the correct email, It’s been 4 weeks and we are still waiting on the reimbursement. The customer service rep was of no help. No matter how I tried to explain to her nothing changed since the first claim, she kept on going to her script. We will not be using this insurance going forward.
