Poor communication, confusion around covering expensive prescribed dog food

We are unhappy that your review of our claims from December on took so long. Our rescue puppy was on Science ID prescription food==canned and dry that our vet prescribed. We were afraid to wean him off it for fear of recurrence of gut issues. I made several phonecalls--was told by 2 of your personnel the food should be covered. The final ruling- it was not covered. Hundreds of dollars in food bills. He must be diarrhea-free for 6 months before you'll cover food prescription. I pay for the highest coverage and am dissatisfied that I could not get a clear answer ongoing while bills racked up. A friend with a similar situation had her pet insurance covered the prescribed food. I would not recommend your plan.

My first claim with Nationwide Pet Insurance was easy to submit online and efficiently processed.

My first claim with Nationwide Pet Insurance was easy to submit online and efficiently processed. My reimbursement was exactly what I expected. It took longer than usual to process -- about double the time -- because it was my first claim. The usual turnaround time I am told is 30 days. But in this case, the first review resulted in a request for my dog's veterinary records, which is perfectly reasonable as I hadn't submitted them when i signed up. With records in hand, the Claims Department processed my claim within 30 days and electronically deposited my reimbursement. The associates I spoke with by phone were all friendly, informed, and helpful.
