Very nice customer service very slow claims review

I am now waiting over 45 days from my initial claim - have supplied over a years worth of vet records and the lovely customer service people are very understanding of my frustration, but cant get me any updates. I understand a pre-existing condition review for my little girls cancer, but on of the claims was for an attack by a Pittbull.

Leaving nationwide

I don’t see the benefit of having insurance when you guys barely pay out the claims. Closing our policy.

Love this insurance

I would gladly pay $100 a month, per dog, and hope to never need to use this insurance. Since that is not the case I must say the coverage this insurance has for major medical is amazing and the turnaround time on payments works for me. I’m lucky in that my vet does the paperwork and submits the expenses directly to the company. This probably cuts down on payment turnaround time. Almost always I have reimbursement within 2-3 weeks.

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.

Coverage

The company’s most popular plan, Whole Pet with Wellness, offers 90% reimbursement for accident, injury, illness and wellness care, inclusive of exam fees. All Nationwide members have complimentary 24/7 access to vethelpline.
