So far, So good

So far we've been pleased with Nationwide Pet Insurance. Sometimes it takes longer then the advertised 30 days for a claim to process, but not always. We only had one claim that took over 90 days, submitting the same paperwork multiple times, and a few phone calls to resolve. We felt that Nationwide was trying to find a reason to deny the claim, looking for a per-existing condition that would enable them not to pay. None existed and they finally paid the claim.

Easy no gimics

Except for my $100 deductible, my claims are paid relatively quick and without a hassle. I love that there is a vet on call to discuss issues. Claims could be process a bit quicker is my only criticism.

Very pleased with Nationwide.

Nationwide (formerly VPI) is wonderful. This is our 2nd experience with covering our pets and they truly care and followup on their recovery. The insurance gives us a peace of mind knowing that we have help in the event of an incident where our furkid needs medical care. Customer Service is wonderful and always very polite, knowledgeable and informative. I do wish they would cover even a small portion of things like spay/neuter programs, and other certain breed specific things that VPI used to help cover. The cost of the insurance that we pay annually, has already more than paid for itself. Keep up the great job Nationwide.
