Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
Over all plan was wonderful. I was a little confused with who to contact with questions. The travel nurse herself was wonderful but the coordination between leaving the hospital and the trip home was a nightmare including me staying unaccompanied at a hotel for over 24 hours when her flight to me was delayed with no notification until I called hours after she was to arrive.

It is difficult to rate a plan when you did not have to file a claim. My ratings would have been far different if I had to file a claim. Ratings would be very positive if the claim was easy to file, processed quickly, and resulted in losses being covered. Any difficulties would have resulted in negative ratings.

I did not have to use any of the services this policy provided, so I have no experience dealing with the company. It covered the important trip risks and concerns at reasonable levels.

Reasonable cost. Did not have to file a claim, but happy pre-existing condition was covered, just in case.

My parents are in their 90’s. It was very comforting knowing if something happen prior or during my trip I could be home without loosing the money invested in my trip.

Communication was lacking between myself and the claim adjuster. That is why the claim was not processed promptly and within a reasonable timely manner. The claim was done fairly for reimbursement. I would not hesitate to continue purchasing this coverage for our yearly trips even though this claim went sideways.
