Nationwide pet insurance, formerly Veterinary Pet Insurance, was the first company to recognize the importance of pets as valuable family members and had similar care needs. That’s why it was the first company to introduce pet insurance, in 1982.

If an employee enrolls between the 1st – 15th of the month, their effective date of coverage will be the first of the following month. Example: Employee enrolls on 10/14, their effective date is 11/1.

 

If an employee enrolls between the 16th and the end of month, their effective date of coverage will be the first of the NEXT month. Example: Employee enrolls on 10/18, their effective date is 12/1.

That’s a pre-existing condition, which is any illness or injury your pet had before coverage started. While no pet insurer covers pre-existing conditions, the good news is that Nationwide doesn’t permanently exclude all such conditions. If you have medical records from your vet showing that your pet’s condition has been cured for at least six months, you may be able to get it covered.

Never. As long as you keep your policy continually in force (translation: don’t let it lapse or expire), your pet will not be dropped.

Not always. Sometimes medical records are needed for clarification to ensure you receive all the benefits available under your plan.

Yes. Diagnostic tests are reimbursed as long as your policy covers the medical condition.

Yes. FDA-approved prescriptions for covered medical conditions are eligible for reimbursement.

File a claim in just two easy steps.
