"Preexisting condition"
I adopted my latest shelter dog in August 2024, needless to say she was a mess and the vet noted she would benefit for some anti-anxiety meds as needed to settle her, due to her trauma of long distance transport (24 hours in a crate). This was in September 2024
After some behavior training that was working along with the first "short term" antianxiety, the vet advised switching her to long term therapy, this was October, same month that I applied for insurance which occured AFTER the insurance kicked in.
Now because she had the short-term therapy as needed (the firs med is only given as needed) first, to get her settled in, the long-term therapy is now considered a "preexisting" condition.
Wow, Nationwide, seems a bit slight of hand to me and quite frankly, considering it is 10.00 a month that you will not reimburse, tells me all I need to know about how much you "care". I will be dropping you ASAP. Apparently Nation wide is NOT on your side.
