Very simple and quick process!

Submitting a claim for my pet is a very simple process through Nationwide and easy to do within minutes! Nationwide is extremely quick to process claims. I received a check for my pet's service within 2 weeks of submitting.

Reimbursements came in quickly

Claims were reviewed quickly but after I hit my deductible the company requested to review all of my dog's vet records and took 30 days to review this. During those 30 days no other claims were approved until the review was finalized - I was surprised by this and why it took SO long to review the vet records. I have a young puppy and got her insurance right after getting her so her vet record was not long at all. After the review process was finalized, all the claims were processed and I have had no issues submitting claims or getting reimbursements. I am pleasantly surprised at how quickly it takes to have my reimbursement in my account.
