Best pet insurance on the planet!

The Nationwide policy with well-care is comprehensive and the premiums are reasonable. Processing is easy and thorough. Claims reimbursement is a breeze with Chase Bank.

Set Fees Too Low

The fees for different medical problems are too low for what vets charge. Additionally, there are many medical conditions Nationwide doesn't cover, which are not listed on their Website. You have to wait until you get your policy along with the printed list of conditions not covered.

Due to low coverage rates, I find that I need to review all claims for accuracy regardless of whether or not it is needed.

While I find that claims are made in a timely fashion and seemingly in line with the scope of benefits, the coverage is lower than I would have expected given the premiums. I find myself reviewing all EOBs for accuracy. Again, I have not found issues but am always surprised how low the coverage is. As there have not been issues, I have not yet been prompted to reach out; I am only sharing my thoughts since the survey asked me to..

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.

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.
