Unfortunately, pet insurance companies don’t generally cover pre-existing conditions. However, Nationwide does allow members to request reviews of pre-existing conditions that have been cured, in which case an exception may be added so the condition would be covered.
The annual limit for reimbursement depends on the product and coverage level selected. Medical insurance for accidents and illnesses often has an unlimited annual reimbursement option, while some wellness coverage plans have defined benefit amounts.
