Great communicators
One thing is for sure. Nationwide is very good at communication-- mostly all of it through email correspondence. The claims process is clearly presented upon receipt of the initial claim, explanation of benefits, and follow-up. Even the occasional mailing of general cat wellness information is helpful.

Very timely in issuing checks
Very timely in issuing checks. I was a little disappointed in the $30 increase in my premium this new period.

It's really pretty easy to file a claim with the app.
Pet insurance is a monthly expense, but if you can afford it, it offers great peace of mind if and when pet health issues arise. Nationwide has always been very prompt in reviewing any paying my claims for my Cairn Terrier, Riptide. The VitusVet app is fairly easy to use to photograph the vet bill and submit the claim.
