Nationwide has a reimbursement model that may suit you if you're looking to get a policy on your furry friend. We'll discuss how this policy works, the pre-existing condition exclusion, $250 annual deductible, and waiting periods for accidents and illnesses. We'll also discuss the company's claims processing and customer service. Nationwide is a solid choice for pet insurance.
Reimbursement is available for all pet insurance policies nationwide
Nationwide follows the same reimbursement model that most insurance companies use. Nationwide will reimburse pet owners who have Nationwide policies. The plan that you choose will determine the amount of reimbursement. The reimbursement amount may be lower if your pet has an existing medical condition. You can keep your policy, however.
It does not apply to pre-existing medical conditions
Self-funded health plans are exempted from the ACA’s protections against discrimination. Historically, large employers were the only ones who could afford self-funded health plans, and they could attract inexpensive coverage regardless of individual illnesses. Since a large customer group is always expected to have expensive cases, carriers were not discriminatory when granting coverage. But small groups aren't as fortunate. A group of 15 patients with complex cancer will not be taken by an insurer.
There is an additional waiting period for illnesses and accidents
Petplan insurance has some of the shortest waiting periods in the industry, at 14 days for illnesses and accidents. While some insurers offer shorter waiting periods (e.g., six months for cruciate ligament injury), others have much longer waiting times. But if you can't wait that long, Figo may be the right option for you. Register online for a FREE quote, and get a one-month free health check.
It comes with a $250 annual deductible
There are many options when you purchase a plan. A $250 annual deductible is an option for some people. But, you may pay up to 20% more for this option than a plan that has a higher deductible. Higher deductibles are better if you can afford them. A $500 annual deduction is another option. This will keep your outgoing costs under $500. Your insurance company will also pay for any damages you cause after you have paid yourdeductible.
It also offers multi-pet discounts
It is important to get a multi-pet discount, especially if you own more than one pet. Nationwide offers discounts to pet owners with more than one animal. You can save 5% on your insurance costs for two pets, and 10% for three. Your employer may offer a multipet discount to group policies. However, you need to take into account other factors before you make your final choice.
