Timing is Everything
My only complaint really is processing time. It takes on average 30+ days to get a claim processed. It’s just tough sometimes waiting that long.
On average car insurance claims take 5-10 days and regular human healthcare claims about 20 days.
I do recommend your insurance company with the caveat about processing time.
Otherwise your company is great, friendly, helpful!!

Surgery Help
We knew as a puppy that we would have our hands full between the energy and personality and opted for the whole wellness plan with Nationwide. So happy we did. From covering routine wellness checkups, to the big ACL surgery recently they have been a huge help and are quick with turning around claims, even the large ones that set you back and you really rely on that reimbursement. Very happy with their services and the ease of filing claims no matter how big or small.

Claim was covered
This claim was approved which is great. It was easy to submit claims and i appreciate the explaination of benefits that is provided after claim review. The negative is that sometimes it takes a very long time to hear back after submitting a claim, and other times claims were not approved d/t pre-existing condition that wasn’t actually pre-existing.

Took a long time, but overall good
Overall, I am happy with this plan. There is a learning curve with submitting claims as I didn’t do it correctly at first. It did take 4-5 months for reimbursement, but that is because nationwide contacted my vet themselves after wanting more information than I was able to provide, so I’m sure that slowed the process.
