A Reason to "smile" after Dental Surgery
My cat recently underwent dental surgery - his first procedure since his adoption a few years ago. Since I was very unfamiliar with the process, I depended on both the Vet's office staff as well as Nationwide customer service representatives to guide me through the process and answer my questions. The customer service I received at Nationwide was excellent. Prior to the surgery, I called to ask about the claim process and Rhonda was incredibly helpful. She talked me through the details of my current plan and even sent me followup information about the other options in case I wanted to change my plan in the future. After the surgery, I received a confirmation that my claim had been received. I had heard from other pet-owners that insurance doesn't always have great coverage for dentals, so I was quite surprised when I saw that Nationwide covered nearly the entire cost of the procedure (aside from the deductible and the cleaning - which is not included in the plan).
I was reimbursed very quickly (I received my checks within a week of receiving the notice), and am very happy with the communication during and after the experience. I also find the Nationwide online portal to be very helpful and user friendly, and I will continue to use it in the future. I am considering changing my plan to also include wellness in the future, but the coverage I currently have was very adequate for this procedure. Thanks!
