Very easy to submit claims and very fast paying claims

I was very impressed with the turn around time between submitting the claim and receiving a check.

Overall I give Nationwide Pet Insurance 5 Stars!!!

Nationwide Pet Insurance has helped pay for on-going treatment and medication for my 10 year old Nico. He was diagnosed with Valley Fever which there is no cure. Claim filing is very easy and now they have added direct deposit so you can receive your reimbursements quicker. Thank you Nationwide for giving us peace of mind.

Very nice staff and painfully slow in paying our claims

I'm sorry to have to say this, because the customer service staff is all very nice. I've spent many thousands of dollars in medical care for Duke, and have received very little in reimbursement so far. Some claims are taking months, unfortunately. I do wish they would expedite because veterinary bills are so very expensive. Thank you

Current Claim Excellent

I needed to resubmit complete veterinary documentation going back to 2/1/17 for a policy date of 3/1/18 on 4 claims covering 3/2/18, 5/19/18, 5/22/18 and 6/1/18 which was requested by Nationwide on 7/10. I sent the information on 7/22 and am still awaiting a response. My concern is that the on-line account does not reflect the data I submitted and does not have the outstanding items as pending. I was considering adding my 2 older dogs but am holding off until the current issue is resolved. I will say that on the receint claim I submitted (not relying on my veterinarian) I received a swifter response.
