My policy lapsed because my policy was not on autopay. In fact, you cannot put an annual plan on auto-pay like all your other bills. So make sure to manually pay every year so that you don’t end up getting stuck with a bill that you thought would be covered. So lame.

Nationwide: NOT on our side
I used to joke all of the time that “Nationwide is on our side”. Well, things have changed. Significantly. My cat is 13 years old and we have never once used the insurance because I have the major medical. It does not cover wellness or anything like that and he has been healthy. The rates keep increasing by significant amounts that I can no longer afford it. I think I would be too depressed to do the math regarding how much money I have given nationwide in 13 years and not actually used any of the insurance. The payment went from $73 per month to $124 per month. And that is with a $250 deductible. Not including wellness or prevention. I am going to have to drop my cat’s policy which puts him at great risk for the future because I won’t be able to afford treatment for him. Does anyone understand how scary that is? 13 years. And this is what we get??? Definitely do not get this insurance. There has to be something better.
