Fast efficient claim processing
Max fell very sick suddenly and we had to undergo surgery. He has recovered but needs to be monitored and stay on a special diet. The insurance helped ease the burden. Else given our limited means we would have had to made a very different choice.

Best Medical Insurance in Our Household
Nationwide far surpasses our human medical insurance for both services and claim processing. Service goes beyond their excellent and well-informed telephone representatives. The vethelpline is not only informational but their follow-up email summation of a conversation is perfect for sharing with a local vet if needed.
When submitting a claim online or by fax and using their automated deposit process claim payments are usually deposited into my bank account within a week. (The most current claim was a record 3-1/2 DAYS!)

There should be an online portal on the site to submit claims and upload Dr reports and invoices
Overall I really like Nationwide. I'm sorry they restrict pre existing conditions because my other dog has PetPlan which was the only thing available to her when she was a baby 8 years ago. I'd move her over to Nationwide in a minute, but she has allergies and high blood pressure. Petplan doesn't cover wellness and that's what I don't like about it. I keep my pets healthy with regular vet visits so I won't have a major incident which is the only thing Petplan is good for.

Terrific company, quick to respond and easy to navigate
I have used Nationwide Pet Insurance for many years and am so glad my work place offered it. I have a rescue dog who has been a handful the past 4 years I've had him. Each time I used the vet I sent via fax my bill and filled out the nationwide paper and within 24 hours got a email response that they received it and they were processing it. Within a week I got a response and a check in the mail. Wonderful company, can not thank them enough for their speedy response.
