Horrible Customer Service

I have been with Nationwide since 1998 over the lives of 3 Dobermans. Until the last 2 years I had been very happy with this company. However, there has been an incredibly sharp decline in their handling of claims and customer concerns over the last 2 years. I submit claims electronically and they claim they never got them even though my computer shows that they did. I FAX claims, have a receipt from my machine showing the FAX was received and they claim they never got it. Claim processing used to take a maximum of 2 weeks and now it is over 30 days. If you call, the Customer Care reps give wrong info and wrong status reports on claims. I called just this a.m. and Vanessa's response to my question was "I don't know.". I will never insure another dog with Nationwide again.

I have never had a problem with reimbursement for services redered for my dog. Payment has always been prompt and on time.

The vet was helpful in making my decision. I have always been pleased with your service.
