Very helpful
I was really upset when my little pup tore her ACL and was a mess leading up to and during and after her surgery. Nationwide covered everything they said they would and didn’t make anything difficult on me at all. Even when I called, I was greeted with friendly customer service and helpful service. You guys made a really stressful and scary time, not so scary. I appreciate it.

Nationwide paid my dog's emergency surgery claim very quickly
My dog had emergency stomach surgery and it cost us $6,000+. I had low expectations that the insurance would even cover half the amount. I know with our previous plan (basic medical) there was a maximum. We upgraded to major medical a few years ago. They ended up paying about 60% of our claim within a few days, which was awesome. I hoped they'd pay 75-80%, but I'll settle for this amount. They also didn't cover the preventive gastropexy to prevent his stomach from flipping when he eats quickly. The doctor decided to do it preemptively since he was already in the stomach. I would think that this preventive procedure can be covered at least at 50%.. The cost of not doing this procedure could cause far more expensive problems in the future. But maybe this isn't a surgery that they'd pay for anyway, if the stomach did actually flip. Overall, we were satisfied, although we probably reached our maximum payout and won't be able to claim anything else. Having the higher priced major medical plan saved us this time around.
