Since, thankfully, I did not have to file a claim I don’t have any input regarding the policy.

Since we did not have to use it, it’s hard to say. We did compare a few companies though the this seemed to have the best coverage for the best rate.

We were to leave in the morning to travel to Miami for our cruise, my mom had to go to the ER and passed away with an aneurysm. The cruise line refunded the port fees, taxes and in room items, we had purchased, but not the $2000 in fares. Nationwide sent me the forms and I was able to get the information back to them within a week. The claim was processed and we were notified by secure email that our claim would be paid. Less than a week later, we received the checks for the amount. I will buy insurance from now on and from Nationwide!

Policy was easy to purchase and a reasonable price. All info was available for download.
Each time we return from our trip without using the insurance we question purchasing the plan.
Then, we think what could have happened, and are we prepared to chance uncertain health care and the financial loss that we might incur.
