The wellness coverage is worth the price

We received reimbursement very quickly and it was what we expected. We are glad we purchased the insurance.

Easy access, claim turnaround

Excellent turn around in paying claims. I marked "Good" for coverage because I know that it could be better if I would upgrade. It has nothing to do with the bearing on the product itself. Overall I have been very pleased that I purchased the coverage. Thank you.

Olive's Jumping off the Couch

I am pleased to have Nationwide Insurance for my puppy, Olive. I adopted her from my friend in beginning of November and was recommended to have a pet insurance policy for emergency. I have applied for the Nationwide Insurance for Olive in December 25, 2016. The policy became effective on January 7, 2017. I am glad that I have purchased the Major-Medical Plan through Nationwide. On Friday, January 20, 2017, Olive jumped off the couch and sustained transverse fracture to left ulna and radius. I was not expecting such an Emergency like this and was not sure about how to claim or apply insurance through the vet. When I called the customer service, I was immediately informed on filing insurance claim and I was told that the claim will be reviewed within 15 days and the reimbursement will be sent within 30 days of the claim. I had to pay $325 for the splint at the time of treatment out of pocket on Friday and $2480 by using the Care Card for plate placement on Monday. The total amount minus $250 for deductible was approved and reimbursed within 11 days of filing the claim. One thing that I would love to see is the insurance coverage being approved first that way I do not have to pay upfront to risk me from getting into the financial jeopardy.
