Good benefits but refund process is crazy

The price of the policy is good, and the benefits and reimbursement are great as well, but the process of submitting a claim is crazy. One claim took 3 months of review before telling me that they would deny it because it was a pre-existing condition...which it wasn't. It was an infection and I submitted all vet records stating it was an infection and had nothing to do with any pre-existingconditikns she had. Another claim took 2 months to process. The process time is crazy...they say it will take up to 30 days but it takes way longer and then you have to fight them to prove that the claim is legit, which is annoying given you have provided them with detailed vet records. So overall, price and benefits are great, the claims review and submission process is a giant headache.

Awesome Insurance, A Little Slow on Claim Turnarounds

This is our first year having insurance and so far we have been happy with our choice of getting it. My only complaint, and it's not even that bad, is that sometimes the time it takes to get the claim settled and money back can take a little time. Over all, very happy with Nationwide Pet Insurance and the 90% back after the deductible.

Peace of mind

Nationwide has not only been incredibly easy to work with but your care and compassion for my fur babies is what puts you over the top. We have such peace of mind knowing that in the event of an emergency you have our back and we will not have to debate on the cost over our dog's life. THANK YOU for loving them as much as we do.
