Great insurance, needs to add online claim submission capabilities

I've had pet insurance for the past 5 years, and am very happy with the insurance. The only reason for the "9" instead of the "10" rating is that claims still need to be submitted via mail or fax. I wish that they would enable online claim submission. The now provide for electronic claim payment which is a huge improvement. The turn around time between submitting a claim and receiving payment can be a little long, but it's worth the wait.

Amazing

Nationwide is an amazing pet insurance company! We're got it for our 18 month old when we first got her at 2 months old. They have covered so much! The monthly payments are so reasonable considering how much we save each time we go to the vet.

easy to file claims

I've filed several wellness claims. Process is super easy. All but one is still pending but I was reimbursed for the one that is complete - easy peasy.

Comforting but frustrating

Having the pet insurance is super comforting when dealing with any medical issue that was not planned. The only thing that is frustrating is the turnover time between submission and reimbursement.
