Poor coverage. High cost. Difficult time getting full coverage on submitted claims.

Bad Billing Practice

I should have trusted that no publication had Nationwide listed in their top companies for pet insurance. Received a notice that my plan was not going to be renewed. I took that as policy would not be renewed. They AUTO-enrolled me in a new plan that was twice as expensive. Didn't notice until 4 months in that payroll deductions were still coming out. Even with no claims during the time with the new plan, they wouldn't back date my cancellation and kept payments until the cancellation date of today. Stay away.

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.

Coverage

Nationwide offers a variety of plans offering varying levels of coverage. The company’s most popular plan, Whole Pet with Wellness, offers 90% reimbursement for accident, injury, illness and wellness care, inclusive of exam fees. All Nationwide members have complimentary 24/7 access to vethelpline.

Payout Limits

Depending on the plan selected, there may be annual benefit limits or per incident benefit allowances. There is no annual limit for the company’s most popular plan, Whole Pet with Wellness.

Deductible

Annual deductibles range from $0 to $1,000. Most popular annual deductible for Whole Pet with Wellness is $250.

Age Limits

No age restriction to enroll in company’s most popular plan, Whole Pet with Wellness. Other plans may have age restrictions.

Waiting Period

14-day waiting period after application approved and payment of premium is received.

Exclusions

Pre-existing conditions are not covered on any plans (if a condition is curable, it may be eligible for review if pet remains treatment-free for at least six months). Whole Pet with Wellness covers nearly all veterinary expenses. Notable exclusions include boarding and grooming.
