It should GERMS, because it’s definitely not a Gem

1. Flu vaccine for me and my dependent was charged from day-to-day, not from risk as specified in the benefits allocation. I sent them an email to enquire more than a mount ago, still haven’t received feedback. 2. HIV test for me was charged from day-to-day, not from risk as specified in the benefits allocation. 3. Submitted all the necessary documents to apply for PrEP, it’s been a week,still no word. Their service is nothing short of putrid!

Reviewer Update
I also want to know why the doctor wasn’t paid for completing the form for PrEP, I keep getting messages from home stating that the account wasn’t settled.
I also don’t understand why we have to resort to such extreme measures to get the service that we deserve… emails are unattended, the only way to get a response is through hellopeter
