Unreasonably low reimbursement rates
The claim filing process is simple, but the reimbursement is substantially lower than it should be. Not sure it's worth the annual premium.

Sick Service Dog
My Lucy came down with bacterial and viral ear infections and a bacterial infection on her skin. The vet missed the infections in her ears for months and was too busy on a day she was there for daycare. The vet referred me to a specialist, Dermatologist. I am thankful the vet sent me on but I was a bit concerned about the expense for her.
The Dermatologist caught both infections and her skin issue.
I need Lucy more than you can imagine. The expense of the Specialist was way over my budget, so thankful to have Nationwide to help me cover a great portion of the expense.
The only downside is processing a claim. It is a lot of steps and the direct deposit is cumbersome. I missed the final link on a prior claim to deposit it into my account. The deposit was not processed after I accepted it. It was quite the hassle to get it fixed.
Besides that, I would not not have insurance to cover her.
Thank you Nationwide.
