A life saver, literally!

We would not be able to accommodate the sudden and unexpected costs that come with multiple pets, without Nationwide's pet insurance. Most of our initial vet/emergency charges go onto a Carecredit account, and then when Nationwide reimburses us, we turn around and pay down the carecredit. It's not perfect, but it allows us to get out pets the care they need when they need it.

Reimbursement

When we pay out the money to the veterinarian clinic , it takes way too long to get reimbursed . I have nothing good to say about the company you go through , that are Check goes directly to our account . I have since then switch back to receive a check in the mail .

Disappointed

Buster had surgery to remove an adenoma tumor from his right adrenal gland. The cost of surgery to save his life was close to $5000. I sent all the costs and received less than $1000 from the total bill. There was sentence that said I may be entitled to additional money but did not explain what information was needed. I recently sent more info from both the Surgeon and the internal medicine specialist.

Prompt and efficient

I've found Nationwide to be very prompt and efficient at claims processing. I had some difficulty with submitting claims via email as I continued to receive notice that they couldn't be read but since I've begun using Vitus Vet to submit everything has been even easier. I hope my relationship with Nationwide continues to be so effortless as my girl moves into her senior years.
