Worst insurance ever
It is a scam insurance ever. I was offered by my new employer to switch from my pet insurance that I have been happy with for 8 years. I was hesitating, but the sales of Nationwide insurance convinced me that it would be a smooth transition and as long as my dog does not have any chronic preexisting conditions that she has been medically treated or diagnosed before I should have no issues with any of my routine visits and incidents.
Well all of that was a big lie !!!!
I took my senior dog to a routine care vet appointment as she was due for some vaccinations and a senior panel blood test. And then did multiple other routine care tests as it was All supposed to be covered and included in my policy. As a result: First, Nationwide took over 2 months to process the claim and then after I had to get a manager involved to expedite the process, they denied with an excuse it was a preexisting condition. Never mind that my dog had no treatments before nor been to the doctor for past 2.5 year and in great shape. The reason they said it was pre-existing, as I mentioned to the doctor that I am noticing some walking pattern change and she had fat deposit growth but no treatment was done for that and needed. Which is a normal patient doctor conversation on the routine visits. But Nationwide decided to use that as a medical conclusion of preexisting conditions and denied all of the claims made. So totaled to about $500-$600.
Also the routine dental that was supposed to be covered, they did not cover as well as the doctor wrote in the chart as they were cleaning the teeth there was some tar. Ha ha.! If you would not have tar why would you even clean the teeth in the first place!!!??? As the Nationwide manger explained to me, that since she had it before doing to the doctor, it preexisting. Which means anytime you do to the doctor with your pet, it will be pre-existing as the pet shows the symptoms before the visit. But isn’t why you would go to the doctor in the first place????
So everything they sell is a pure lie and a scam!!!
Don’t fall for it and lose so much money as I did!!!!
