Thank goodness for pet insurance

Thank goodness for pet insurance, which we got for our Boxers when they we're about 6 months old. After seeing three different vets, we found out that Natale had come down with Valley Fever. Seeing specialist running test, x-rays, medication has been costly, Because of Nationwide Insurance, we can manage as we only pay the deductible and our 10% of cost., plus our monthly premium for the Insurance. I would advise every Pet Owner to get Dog Insurance, as Vet Bills are costly.

Claims processing is very delayed

The plan provides good coverage but we pay a high premium for the coverage and the backlog of claims and the processing time needs to be addressed. Thank you. I did receive a letter telling me another 30-days was needed but had to keep up with status calls on the payment.

Nationwide is the best/

My claim was settled quickly. The only hiccup was with the direct payment. My experience with Chase was not that pleasant which is not the fault of Nationwide. I must say that my questions when I call Nationwide are always answered. The representatives are helpful, knowledge and friendly. I never feel that I am that an interrupting their day. This insurance came available to me through my employer and I am happy for the convenience.

Worth the peace of mind

So far so good with Nationwide Pet Insurance. I feel the monthly rate is reasonable given all the vet appointments the first year of puppy life and their reimbursement rate is good! I would recommend.
