Please review/adjust coverage by state to represent the increase in premium charged by state

Hello - we just moved from Ohio to Maryland. Toby is our ~13 year old lab/shepherd mix. We renewed our policy for Toby this month and there was a significant jump in the cost vs. last year. When I asked the representative why the increase, she said coverage is based on age and state and having moved to MD, that is part of the increase. I have noticed that the cost of similar veterinary treatments here in MD are higher than in Ohio, I was also informed that the coverage from Nationwide does not increase. I'm very concerned about this... I, the pet owner will have to pay more for each veterinary visit, submit the claim, and not receive any increase in claim coverage/refund from Nationwide. Would appreciate a response on why this is... or to know that Nationwide will be reviewing the coverage by state to ensure that the same %age of coverage is provided regardless of the state if you continue to charge extra for our premiums by state. I hope that makes sense. Thank you!

Easy process with app and fast reimbursement process

I use the app to submit claims and have no trouble submitting and getting reimbursements in a timely manner. It's been super simple. It's been a really easy process and nice to not have to worry about that aspect of things when my pet was sick.

Great Customer Service Support & Claim Management

This is my first experience with pet insurance in general and with Nationwide specifically. I found the process of getting an estimate online to enrolling online and having my pet insurance premium directly deducted from my paycheck an easy and straight forward process. Calling Customer Service for support is quick and they always follow-up with an email. Submission of my claim was also easy to do online as well as subsequent communications via email to inform me of the status of my claim. My claim was originally denied because it appeared to be a pre-existing condition, however based upon re-review and a note from my vet the claim was accepted and paid pretty quickly. I highly recommend Nationwide pet insurance.
