About Our Other Voluntary Insurances
Everyone has their own needs beyond the standard benefits package. For this reason, UNE has partnered with other insurance companies so you may select additional voluntary insurance options that meet your circumstances and interests. As a benefits-eligible employee, you may select these benefits directly through the insurer and arrange for your premiums to be paid through payroll deduction.
Nationwide Pet Insurance
With pets in nearly 70% of households, employees may now purchase voluntary pet insurance through Nationwide. My Pet Protection from Nationwide offers flexibility allowing you to choose the plan that is best for you.
- See the vet of your choice, there isn’t a network.
- Pay the fee at point of service and remit invoice for reimbursement after a $250 annual deductible. Employees may choose 50% or 70% reimbursement options.
- Effective 10/01/2023: New members now have the option to select My Pet Protection Wellness500. Existing members can add My Pet Protection Wellness500 during their respective renewal period only, for policies renewing after 10/01/2023.
- Maximum annual benefit of $7,500.
- Premium is based on age, breed and location.
- All Nationwide pet insurance members receive free, 24/7 access to vethelpline® ($150 value) for guidance on any pet health concern. This service is available exclusively from Nationwide.
- Pet Rx Express: Members can take advantage of low prices for prescriptions at Walmart's and Sam’s Club’s and enjoy the convenience of having the pharmacy submit claims directly to Nationwide on their behalf.
- With more coverage than any other pet insurance plan, it is easier to outline what services are not covered by Nationwide's Pet Protection Plan.
- Pre-existing conditions are not covered. Pre-existing conditions are an illness or injury that your pet had before coverage started. Not all pre-existing conditions are excluded permanently. If you have medical records from your vet showing that your pet’s condition has been cured for at least six months, you may be able to get it covered.
- Easy enrollment process and helpful resource center.
