After creating the quote, I received the link via email to retrieve it. Retrieving it was fine but after filling in the information (including credit card), I hit the Purchase button and I got a pop up box and then it just returned me to the form page. I had to type in the URL manually in another browser in order to successfully sign up my pup.

Don't waste your money.

I have had Nationwide pet insurance for years for my animals. We were unaware of an expired credit card on three of our animals plans, and were not informed of this expiration. Nationwide claimed they sent us a letter in the mail, but didn't update our portal or send an email like every other communication - including the one for this review - was sent. We had a valid credit card on file for our 4th animal but our other 3 animals were dropped. We discovered this issue when our claims we denied despite the prior month (when we supposedly would not have been insured) being accepted. We are now not allowed to reinstate our insurance because during the time of coverage our dogs have gotten too old to have the insurance they now need. We are left stuck with over $4k in bills and more to come for two aging dogs. To say we are disappointed is an understatement.

I found it frustrating you denied my claim and I had to go through the appeals process. On top of that, no one even contacted me to speak about the decline. If you're going to decline a $3000 treatment, you better talk to me to explain what's going on. I am reasonable satisfied by the appeals process but still feel you did not cover enough

Unless you begin to insure your pet from the time they are born, this insurance is useless. They consider everything you have taken your pet to vet for as a PRE-EXISTING CONDITION and do not cover. It's useless for a pet like ours that is 6yrs old. You also have no control or idea what the vet writes in the medical records and will consider that as PRE-EXISTING. Disappointed and if my claim for our last visit is not covered, I will likely cancel this insurance.

I want to love this service so badly. While you can get an appointment the same day (great!), it takes a week to get an RX (not great!). They charge a fee to transfer the prescription to Costco, but it still takes several days. I don't understand why this process isn't electronic and completed within a few hours.

Have not heard anything back regarding my application

I used to joke all of the time that “Nationwide is on our side”. Well, things have changed. Significantly. My cat is 13 years old and we have never once used the insurance because I have the major medical. It does not cover wellness or anything like that and he has been healthy. The rates keep increasing by significant amounts that I can no longer afford it. I think I would be too depressed to do the math regarding how much money I have given nationwide in 13 years and not actually used any of the insurance. The payment went from $73 per month to $124 per month. And that is with a $250 deductible. Not including wellness or prevention. I am going to have to drop my cat’s policy which puts him at great risk for the future because I won’t be able to afford treatment for him. Does anyone understand how scary that is? 13 years. And this is what we get??? Definitely do not get this insurance. There has to be something better.

I regret switching from my previous pet insurer to Metlife. I have had nothing but problems from the moment I signed up. It took multiple attempts to get my policies set up correctly (I have 5 pets insured). Then every single claim but 1 has had issues. They have asked for the same paperwork over and over again (medical records or explanation of benefits from previous insurer). How many times do I have to re-send? I have had to call on every single claim but 1. Their submission process SEEMS easy, but if you have multiple pets and policies, no matter what I do, everything gets messed up, And there is not text box to provide more info to help them understand the situation and what is being submitted. I have even tried writing the details up and uploading it with the invoice and SOAPs. They still doesn't help. As a customer, I am at the mercy of whatever claims agent is handling my claims. It should not be this hard.

no one ever got back to us. Even though I am a corporate customer
