Heidi's care with the help of Nationwide.

Thank you for asking how Heidi is doing. She is much better now. Has recovered from her eye injury and also is doing remarkably well from her knee and ligament surgery. I would say she is almost 98% back to being what she was prior to the surgery. Again, thank you for your prompt handling of Heidi's claims, as well as, answering my questions prior and during her recovery.

Dogs are penalized for growing old

This company was fine when i joined 7 years ago. Claims were processed quickly and i was happy with coverage. My monthly payment was increased from $112/month per pet to $180/month simply because my shih tzus are turning 12 this year. Many claims have not been covered and those that are take 30+ days. It would be illegal to price gauge humans for aging. They know they have you over a barrel bc no other company will cover a pre existing condition but i refuse to be extorted.

Does what the policy says, but very slowly with almost no feedback

I made my first claim for a wellness visit. I filed the claim thru the VitusVet app on my smartphone. It took a couple of days to get an acknowledgement that the claim was received and about the full month until I received notice that the claim was processed. The claims process could be improved with more feedback and faster claims review and processing.
