Love emailing claims; hate faxing re-submittals to EOBs

I am so happy that claims can be submitted easily via attaching a PDF to an email! Whether it does or not, I like to think that it speeds up the process. I reached an unfortunate point where I failed to submit a diagnosis for one item on an invoice and am needing to either fax or mail in my response. I do not have access to a copy machine that is hooked up to fax because it's somewhat of a lost art.. and snail mail just adds days to my submittal. I do wish I could just email it in the same way I file my claims, but going by the instruction from my EOB, these are the only options.

We absolutely love Nationwide Pet Insurance.

We are SO HAPPY that we chose Nationwide Pet Insurance. It’s very simple to fill out the online pre-filled claim forms. NW has paid every claim, as promised, from the very start of our coverage. My dog receives the best care that we can give her and we never have to worry about not being able to afford an emergency or wellness care. I tell every pet owner, family member, vet and friend that they cannot go wrong with Nationwide.

So glad I have pet insurance

I'm so glad I'm not in a position where I have to decide how much care I can afford for my pets. Pet insurance essentially lets me pay monthly premiums to cover (knock on wood!) potentially catastrophic medical bills. Nationwide is easy and their policies are straightforward and the process for getting reimbursed couldn't be easier. We rave about it to all our friends at the dog park!

So Far, So Good

This is the first time we've purchased pet insurance, and I was skeptical. Imagine my surprise when the claim process was as easy as possible, the response time rapid, and the reimbursement check arrived within days. If this keeps up, I'll never again be without Nationwide!
