Fast and Easy Claims Process

Nationwide Pet Insurance has been the best decision we have made in a long time. Nationwide Pet insurance takes the financial stress out of a day in the life of a dog owner. Unexpected things come up, and I stress a lot less now that I have pet insurance. We go to the vet, get our pup feeling better, and within a few weeks, our claims are processed and paid. It is a no-brainer. We plan to get a second dog and we will definitely get an insurance plan for the new dog as well.We could not be happier with this company.

Claims dept could be more clear on denials

I submitted a claim and it was denied twice and it was because the bill I submitted said Estimate and not Invoice. It was the emergency vet service that helped me to figure it out while I feel that Nationwide's underwrite could easily have put a note in my correspondence specifically pointing out the problem instead of just sending a denial. For first-time claim submittals, a little more explanation would have gone a long way. My reimbursement was delayed a good two months because of this back and forth.

Nationwide Pet Insurance is the BEST!

Nationwide Pet Insurance has been a great investment for our dog, Daisy. If we have to call in, the representatives always answer the phone quickly (yes, a REAL person!), they are friendly and helpful. We have been amazed by the excellent service that we consistently receive. We were in the process of moving from GA to SC when Daisy broke out in hives. I scrambled to find a new vet so that she could be seen right away. Nationwide didn't miss a beat in processing our claim. Highly recommend!
