Long waiting period for reimbursement

I recently got this pet insurance with the wellness plan added for my dog, and I am surprised at how long it takes to get a reimbursement check or anything notifying me that the claim is in progress. Is there any way I can know that a claim is pending? Or do I just have to guess? Of course the first year having a dog is the busiest because we've been going to numerous appointments every month. I think uploaded 4 claims and only got 1 check back. Please let me know if there is any way of me finding out if they are pending? Through the app?

Excellent

Nationwide has made my life stress and worry free during the 1st year of my puppy. After having to put down my last dog because I couldn’t afford emergency surgery, I knew I needed insurance. My new puppy has had the worst of luck making her first year difficult (and expensive) but because of her insurance I knew that she would be able to get the care she needed when she needed it. I always recommend nationwide to any pet owner I run into!

Easy but long process

Filing a claim is easy, but long. I forgot to have our vet put our dog’s name on his itemized receipt, and so it took another month (two total) for his claim to get approved.
