Major medical plan

I work in a vet hospital and went ahead and got insurance because I can save on preventative care. I have had great luck so far and I have heard a lot of our clients enjoy nationwide as well. I’ve only had it about 3 months and my pet has already reached the deductible. So far all good!

Annie's oral surgery was supposed to be the extraction of two teeth, but...

Annie's oral surgery was supposed to be the extraction of two teeth, but after the x-rays were taken, the total rose to five teeth. She did nicely and ate right away, not bothering to think of all the stitches, Three days later she started playing with her toys. The only item missing was the email I always received from VPI letting me know that they had received my claim and were processing it. A few days later I stopped at the Animal Hospital and asked them to check to see if they had faxed the claim. Of course, that afternoon I received my check in the mail.

Annie's oral surgery was supposed to be the extraction of two teeth, but after x-rays were taken the total moved to five teeth. She went through it very nicely, She overlooked her stitches and ate well but it took to the third day until she started playing with her toys. The only thing missing was the email I used to receive from VPI letting me know that the Animal Hospital had faxed my claim to them and they were processing it. I even stopped back to the Hospital to see if they had indeed faxed it. Of course, that afternoon I received the check. It was a big help in paying for part of the final expense.

Expensive, but when reimbursed, it’s nice!

Nationwide pet insurance is costly, however, going to the vet is expensive! It’s great to know we will get some of the cost of our vet bill back with Nationwide.

The newest upgrade to the website is fantastic. It makes the claim submittal process a cinch and takes away the need to send via email. I love being able to track where the claim is at. Great upgrade!
