Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
While in Spain one of my wife's toes got infected. We arranged for a doctor to come to our hotel. After we returned to the U.S. and I filed a claim, Nationwide reimbursed us very promptly for the cost of the doctor's visit and the prescription. On the basis of this, I would definitely purchase another policy from the company.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
I very much appreciate the fact that the policy included some coverage for medical and emergency dental care, since I am on Medicare and that does not cover services outside the US. However, I wish the coverage limits were higher, even as an option. Knowing what a hospitalization can cost even for "minor" accidents or short-term illnesses, I was nervous about the coverage limitations in the policy.

We had a plan and we were thankful that we did not need to use it on our trip. The insurance plan gave us comfort knowing that if we needed assistance we had someone to turn to for help.

Well, it was great, because I didn't need to use it. The real proof of the pudding is if you need to make a claim.
