Gems service not existing!

I am a pensioner trying to follow up on authorisation for a medical procedure, which was requested on 19 March 2026. Procedure was scheduled for 26 March, but was cancelled today because nothing was received from Gems.

Followed up today, 25 March telephonically. After 40 minutes waiting to speak to a person, i put call down. Phoned again and it has been another 30 minutes after I was put on hold by agent.

So already spend 70 minutes voice data and still have not received any service from Gems!

Reviewer Update
Gems rep**** twice to my review by giving me the same number I phoned this morning and waisted 70 minutes holding on.

That is no resolution for my complaint Gems!!!! Shame on you!
