Nationwide Pet Insurance was the best investment we have made

I really didn't think pet insurance would really be worth it, but the money we pay for insurance has paid off. Just going to the vet for routine yearly immunizations, medication, and a few minor issues that came up basically was reimbursed because of the insurance. We pay around $700.00 a year in insurance, and our reimbursements were around the same. We lost one of our pets around a year ago and I believe if we had insurance we could have possibly saved our baby's life. I now feel more at ease having pet insurance in the event something were to happen to our other pets. Our pets are not just pets to us they are family we love dearly, and I would do anything possible to insure their health

Coverage is fairly comprehensive

The vet recommended Oravet dental chew for dental maintenance. It was covered when we got our first bag, but none after that. I would like to know what changed please.

Better Than No Insurance

I find that the reasons for coverage and non-coverage are not clear. Claims take much too long to process, they should be finalized in under 21 days so that credit cards payments for the vet bill can be paid within the monthly cycle. I will say that their customer service representatives are very friendly and super helpful.

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.

Coverage

Nationwide offers a variety of plans offering varying levels of coverage. 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.

Payout Limits

Depending on the plan selected, there may be annual benefit limits or per incident benefit allowances. There is no annual limit for the company’s most popular plan, Whole Pet with Wellness.

Deductible

Annual deductibles range from $0 to $1,000. Most popular annual deductible for Whole Pet with Wellness is $250.

Age Limits

No age restriction to enroll in company’s most popular plan, Whole Pet with Wellness. Other plans may have age restrictions.

Waiting Period

14-day waiting period after application approved and payment of premium is received.

Exclusions

Pre-existing conditions are not covered on any plans (if a condition is curable, it may be eligible for review if pet remains treatment-free for at least six months). Whole Pet with Wellness covers nearly all veterinary expenses. Notable exclusions include boarding and grooming.
Since 1982, Nationwide has helped pet owners protect what matters most. As the largest provider of pet health insurance in the U.S., Nationwide currently insures over 600,000 dogs, cats, birds and exotic pets for medical conditions related to illnesses, injuries accidents and wellness care. In 2015, it introduced Whole Pet with Wellness, the only U.S. pet health insurance plan offering complete coverage for injuries, accidents, illnesses and wellness care.
