Ugh. I have/had them for my secondary dental plan with my job. I racked up over $4000 in needed…read moredental work outside of what my primary plan would pay - at 100% (e.g., crown, implant, bitewing radiographs, periodontal maintenance, fillings, evaluation, etc), This plan tries to slow you down, asking for stuff like, "please resend as a pdf and not an image." (It's a letter from my dentist so why does it have to be a pdf?" Anyway... that is just one of many slow downs. Then they need time to review. I was afraid I was going to run their clock out and nothing would be covered. When it was all said and done with multiple and multiple resends and wait time, they approved $200. So what in the world DO you even approve? I spent more on the monthly premiums than this.

DO NOT pay for ANY of their services, especially their insurance products!! They WILL NOT pay out…read moreon claims and they will leave you stuck to pay on claims you would NEVER expect a dental insurance company to deny...such as a Scaling for Periodontal Disease. They callously said my procedure was not necessary, yet my gums were bleeding and in pain. Very callous words from company, and quite offensive to say my procedure was unnecessary. They are no help when you call in as well. I pay monthly, which clearly is just a waste of money. Their claims review board is a joke and it seems like there may be age discrimination. My dentist office said this has happened before, they cant understand how this would not be covered, and they are considering dropping them as well.

Several members of…read moremy family have used their services for years, so when we bought a house in early 2012, of course they recommended Goodhue. After shopping around, my husband and I decided to settle with them not only for their affordable rates but most definitely because of their A+ service. They know you by name here, never by a policy/account number, and they go above and beyond to make sure that you don't have to stress about anything. We bundled our car and home with them, and have luckily never had to make any claims, but we have had some slight snags or issues (driving ticket, etc) come up. Any time we have any questions, all I have to do is email Katie, and I get a quick and informative response. I would highly recommend giving them the opportunity to prove to you that they deserve your business!!

"A family business that treats you like family."…read more Chad wrote the policy for our first home nearly 20 years ago, so of course we went back to him for the policy on our new home as well. He made the process quick and painless. Shortly before the close on our new home, we had some damage to our old home, which caused me to call him to inquire about filing a claim. Even though the damage to the old home wasn't covered by the policy, Chad went above and beyond by getting the names of contractors and suppliers who could help me with the issue. They're truly a family business that treats you like family.

Last Wednesday, my daughter was in a fairly bad accident a few minutes from our home. Her car was…read morehit on the driver's side by a larger SUV. The impact deployed both airbags and caused significant damage to her vehicle. Thank God, my daughter walked away with superficial, minor injuries! Chad Doubleday happened to be mowing a yard right across the street from where my daughter's car came to a stop. He was there in seconds, helped her out of the vehicle, called the police, and called me. He took pictures of the vehicles and the accident scene, and he stayed with us the entire time as the police filled out a report and until the vehicles were towed away. He even started answering our questions about "what next". Chad ended up taking the report directly from the police officer and DIA handled everything so that we could focus on getting our daughter home. His calming and supportive presence throughout along with follow-up from his brother, Chris (our agent), and Shawna really gave us all a sense of security. And as a Nationwide policy holder and employee, I can truly say that DIA as a whole exemplifies the "On Your Side" promise in a big way. I do realize that it's unreasonable to expect your insurance agent to be helping you out of your wrecked car seconds after an accident. However, the spontaneous and unplanned customer service from Chad was so compelling that I had to share this story. As an additional evidence of DIA's commitment to their clients, I found out that the reason Chad was mowing that yard was to help out some elderly clients of DIA who need a little help from time to time to care for their home. So, he goes over and takes care of their yard work on his own time. WOW! The Mcfarling's will be DIA clients for life! Thanks Chad, Chris, and Shawna for all your help this past week!
