It was simpler than I thought

Filing the claim was straight forward and the response and payment time were not bad at all! I was ready to be disappointed, just like by any other insurance services I've ever used. But I was surprisingly wrong. This is how insurance should be! Thank you :)

Easy claim, great customer service.

Every claim I have sent to Nationwide has been handled quickly and efficiently. The communication is great and they pay the claims quickly. I have only had to call a couple of times but when I have called I always receive great service. The call tree is lengthy but once you get through that you are good to go.

We are first time pet owners and luckily stumbled upon Nationwide. Their customer service department is always so friendly and helpful with all of my questions. I also appreciate the simple claim submission.

good insurance but very expensive

insurance is easy and comprehensive and service is good. their prices used to be reasonable but I got a 50 percent rate increase this year. the rates go up every year by a ridiculous amount so it becomes unaffordable. I am disappointed that I have to look around for alternate insurance because I like the plan.
