Good program but very slow to process claims

I am happy with Nationwide Pet Insurance after two years with the policy, and so far only claimed wellness expenses. No experience with major medical so cannot comment on that. It does take a long time for Nationwide to process claims at 3+ weeks.

I no longer doubt the benefit of having pet insurance.

Never knew what benefit it was to have pet insurance until getting our two policies two dogs). It really helped when one dog had to have knee cap surgery and ACL repair. Even when she temporarily had to eat Rx food, you were there. We have changed the protein type in her food, so a prescription diet is no longer an issue - good news! Thanks for the newsletters and helpline, should I need it. And thanks for the policy benefits.

Never have a problem with the customer service.

Every time I have called I have always gotten someone who is understanding and helpful. My claims are always processed in a timely manner. I like how there isn't a time limit on me sending in the claim. Now that there is an app to use to send in claims it is even better.

Glad to get as much back as possible but it took over a month to have 2 claims reviewed at the same time.

I understand that to be as thorough as possible with fulfilling a claim this takes time but this was the longest it has taken for me to receive a decision on a claim.
