We have had Nationwide rabbit insurance for slightly over a year, which was first offered as a supplemental benefit (not part of open enrollment) through my employer in late 2019; as I understand, we may receive a discount due to Nationwide’s agreement with my employer. We pay $11.99/month per rabbit (two rabbits) for what I understand is a basic plan with a $2,000 maximum per accident or illness. Due to the Nationwide deductible we have never filed a claim, so I cannot comment about claims experience. However, most of their customer-service staff members are friendly and helpful.
Following the October death of our senior rabbit**, we adopted a new rescue rabbit in November. When I called Nationwide to add him to our policy, they attempted to sell me a policy upgrade with additional coverage, apparently a newer option. However, this would cost about $20 per rabbit per month; with two rabbits, I can’t really afford it and also don’t think it passes my cost/benefit analysis. Our first rabbit was on home hospice with twice-daily medications for over a year, and even her expenses were not especially high. In summary, we have the Nationwide insurance primarily to protect us from potentially high diagnostic-imaging and surgical expenses.
**Of note, following our senior rabbit’s death, Nationwide refunded the remainder of her monthly premium.
