Tommy is able to get great care.
Could not have done it without Nationwide. My cat Tommy is able to get great care that I otherwise would not be able to afford.

Great service overall
Overall the claim process was easy. I did have a claim rejected stating it could not be easily read, though I did a screen shot of the actual invoice from the clinic, which was the same thing that had been submitted previously without issue. I did not like that I didn't get any response that the resubmitted version was acceptable so had to wait another month to see if it would go through. This was not a huge issue since it was a small bill, but I imagine I would have been more frustrated if it was a larger claim and I had to wait 2+ months to get reimbursement. I do find the claim process cumbersome on the Vitus Vet app. I also cannot select my vet clinic in the patient information section because it is not within the designated radius of my home. it does not allow me to choose any other way.
