Some Important Information From Comments

Comments:
1. I joined GEMS in August. Since then, I am struggling to get my doctors medicines registered on chronic. I am a combined kidney and liver transplant patient. In fact, I should be on PMB. Every time, I call I am transferred from pillar to post with no success. I was with Bonitas for over twenty years and never experienced such poor service.

2. I have spoken to the call centre three times. My problem is still not solved. Explained my problem twice through phone and asked to speak to supervisor. I was refused to do so. I had to do explain my problem again and after holding on for 17 minutes, he came back and said he sent e-mail to a supervisor to contact me. I gave my cell number as I knew I was not in later the the day. Then somebody phoned the practice and said she did not know what my problem is! I am desperate to solve this problem.

Benefits of GEMS Scheme

The GEMS scheme provides a range of healthcare benefits, including medical, hospital, chronic medication, maternity, preventative care, and wellness benefits. The scheme also includes additional benefits such as funeral cover, disability cover, and access to certain value-added services, such as wellness programs and disease management programs.
