Long wait for payment

I switched to Nationwide Whole Pet insurance from another policy for the more extensive coverage. However I was disappointed in the lengthy period for reimbursement on my very first claim. My previous policy, which I had for 2 yrs, always reimbursed within 2 weeks maximum, and my first claim with Nationwide, for a basic infection treatment not ongoing, took almost 2 months to receive payment...not very timely, especially when you have insurance in the first place to help cover expenses!

Very pleased!

I am so pleased with the service and coverage we have received for our dog Kibo. Kibo has had more than his share of health issues and Nationwide has been fantastic. I have had no trouble with coverage and the customer service has been good as well.

I appreciate how much you help with the cost of bet visits with my babies.

I have 4 cats and you have always been straight up with what you can and can't do. Turn around for the claims is a lot faster than I would have ever imagined. Thank you for caring about me and my babies!
