I wish my health insurance was this easy and comprehensive

I'm so glad that I purchased this insurance. It's easy to submit a claim and the refund was fast. When my dog became ill, he needed me to be able to focus on him, not just worry about how I was going to be able to pay for treatment. Nationwide made that possible and he is improving. Facing a large, unexpected bill was scary and without the insurance, I don't know if the outcome would have been this good. If you want to be able to make decisions about your pet's health based on what is best for him/her and not based on cost alone, this is the answer.

Very please with the reimbursement, have referred Nationwide pet ins to several people since

Seamus is doing very well after his surgery. I really appreciate that the reimbursement was good. It was extremely helpful to my family and helped us concentrate on his care. He had a very ugly looking cyst that was growing rapidly and getting very irregular. We were worried.

Finally got around to submitting claims

Nationwide was quick and concise processing a bunch of claims I took months to organize and submit. The good news is I got just about enough money to pay for a surgical procedure a week later. Standby for another claim.
