Too little reimbursement
My nine-year-old Lab had a serious and sudden situation in which she could no longer walk. My vet, after examination and an X-ray, recommended we get an MRI by a neurologist. We did so, and the neurologist ultimately recommended a steroid management in the hope we could avoid surgery. The cost of the MRI and associated services was nearly $5000. This was a necessity. Nationwide covered only $1600 of it on the basis that they had already hit the amount allotted. Well, if so, the allotted amount is too low. We did precisely what we were advised to do in the order in which we were advised to do it. Presumably the cost of a surgery would not have been covered either. Given that for over nine years I've been paying roughly $100/month, I should think this would have been more adequately covered. And I am not particularly happy about it.
