electronic claim submission not quite there yet

Scanned all documents as a PDF and emailed in the claim as directed. Claim was initially partially rejected because they couldn’t read the full multi-page PDF. I had verified the legibility of the scan prior to emailing, as well as opening the PDF on both MacOS and Windows systems. There was nothing wrong with the PDF. Someone at Nationwide simply did not scroll past the first two pages. I printed out the exact same PDF and sent by USPS and they paid the full claim. This company is just not ready to accept claims electronically, so save yourself time and effort and just mail the whole thing in.

Nationwide cares about my dog.

Gryphon is my third dog that I have enrolled in Nationwide. He is now eleven years old with heart disease ,and Nationwide has helped with Gryphon’s treatment and examinations. He is doing well on his medicine, and his overall condition will be evaluated when he sees his cardiologist later this month. Thank you, Nationwide!

Reliable Pet insurance when you need it...

Having had a pet insurance policy for many years with this company, I am very happy with their coverage. The time for claims to be processed is quick and they are very easy to submit. Be sure to read the exclusions for the particular policy you may purchase.

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.

Nationwide offers a variety of plans offering varying levels of coverage. The company’s most popular plan, Whole Pet with Wellness, offers 90% reimbursement for accident, injury, illness and wellness care, inclusive of exam fees. All Nationwide members have complimentary 24/7 access to vethelpline.

Payout Limits

Pre-existing conditions are not covered on any plans (if a condition is curable, it may be eligible for review if pet remains treatment-free for at least six months). Whole Pet with Wellness covers nearly all veterinary expenses. Notable exclusions include boarding and grooming.
