Aspen Pharmacare, a South African pharmaceutical company, partnered with Mint to develop a mobile application to automate order placement. The application allows Aspen's 300 sales representatives to look up customer discounts based on their medical scheme from their mobile devices. This increases productivity by providing discounts and Prescribed Minimum Benefits in a centralized, easy-to-use interface. Aspen chose to work with Mint due to their proven track record developing mobile solutions over a 3-year partnership.

4. Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMB) is a set of defined benefits to ensure that all medical scheme members have
access to certain minimum health services, regardless of the benefit option they have selected. The aim is to
provide people with continuous care to improve their health and well-being and to make healthcare more
affordable.
PMBs are a feature of the Medical Schemes Act, in terms of which medical schemes have to cover the costs
related to diagnosis and treatment of their patients.
Mint has developed an application that will allow Aspen Pharmacare representatives to show their customers the
discounts they will receive according to the medical scheme they belong to.
