Overall good experience

In the beginning I was a bit concerned based on the negative review I've read online about Nationwide Pet Insurance. However my other co-workers who have it had overall positive experience. Since it's the only pet insurance option through my employer, I decided to give it a shot. My 9 yo Bichon/Lhasa mix was peeing blood after his teeth cleaning procedure. I thought it was surgery related issue, and I took him back to the vet. After first diagnostic (caused about 400 something dollars), they told me he had bladder stone. With his type of stone, the only option was to remove it surgically. The cystostomy (bladder stone removal surgery) caused $1,345.49. I filed both claims with Nationwide. They asked for a full medical history to prove that the stone wasn't a pre-existing condition. So I sent them that. Another 3~4 weeks later, I got my reimbursement. Minus the Out of Pocket minimum, I got all of the cost reimbursed including the 1,345.49 bill. Conclusion, the process could be a bit faster, but in the end I'm glad that they covered the procedure. The claim process was easy, too.

I can't imagine not having NW Pet Insurance!!!

I am so glad that I have NW Pet Insurance for my Laci. I also had it for my prior dog Lexi who passed away 5 years ago. NW Pet Insurance is affordable and I tell all of my friends with pets about the great coverage, and encourage them to invest in NW's Pet Insurance. Thank you everyone with NW Pet Insurance. I appreciate everything you all do!

pretty good

I have been with Nationwide for almost 6 months. I really was a bit apprehensive as it was one of the most expensive coverage. so far I am really happy with it. it covers more things than any other insurance I know. I had one payment denied but I was offered a chance to provide explanation, and after that it was paid in full. My dog had some cyst problem and he had to go for second opinion, second set of sedation, X-rays and added a biopsy to that. Nationwide paid all of it as per agreement. Payments come pretty fast, I think within a month, so if you put it on a credit card, you have a chance to pay it off almost the same billing cycle.
