Slow & steady wins the race

We had two claims for Dora and received a request for more information. Right after I submitted the information I received notice that they still needed it. However, someone found it and followed up that Dora's claim was still open and being reviewed. It took a few months but once all the information was in we got our letters of coverage and it's working out well.

Unreliable and unresponsive

Ever since getting Nationwide insurance, it has been an uphill battle to get my claims paid. The worst part is they have added an ‘exclusion’ to my policy called ‘bandage’. Their customer service team can not explain to me what that means but it looks like an issue my dog has that requires a bandage will not be covered by my policy. I have called them dozens of times with no progress. It’s extremely frustrating.

Fast Response

Received reimbursement check about one week after I submitted the claim. Insurance covered 90% of cost for health check up, vaccinations, heart worm, flea & tick meds.

I am extremely happy with the service I have received over the years from BPI and now with Nationwide.

Sundance is my 4th boxer covered by Nationwide (VPI). I have been extremely happy with the care I have received. It is a good feeling to know my boxers can receive excellent veterinary care and know that my claims will be reviewed and paid in a timely manner. I sometimes brag that my dogs have better medical insurance than my friends with their own medical insurance. Thank you.
