Collect premiums, slow to pay, minimal payment or denying all

Since taking over for VIP Nationwide is very slow to pay and will take the maximum of 30 days to respond to bills. Then when advised of the payment, they state they want more information, even though every thing was received with the original billing submission. Then expect to wait another 30 days to find they will deny payment; due to them reducing coverage and maximum paid out which is 1/4 of the cost. Very little seems to be covered now I would recommend not taking out the basic wellness coverage, you can save money not paying the premium for regular visits.

Pleased with Claim Process and Result

Shelby had a broken tooth that required removal. Nationwide covered most of the cost of the removal. The claim process was seamless.

Incredible, very fair, fast see

The prompt and fair way our claim was handled was unbelievable. We have had very negative results with other pet insurance companies over the years. Our experience with Nationwide was truly “a breath of fresh air.”

Costs a lot and did not realize it would go up every year

The cost is excessive for what is paid back. It takes too long to have a claim reviewed, 30 days is too long. Not worth the money it seems unless there is an accident or disease that even possibly may be covered by policy.

I would definitely recommend Nationwide Pet especially for a big dog. You are so easy to work with!

I love your service. My only critique would be that you send me emails to enter contests that I can't enter because we are already customers. How about contests for current customers?
