How Pinnie works

A licensed clinician who actually picks up the phone.

Every Pinnie advocate is a registered nurse, licensed social worker, or experienced care navigator. They handle your care directly: scheduling, prior auths, appeals, and coordinating between providers. A supervising physician backs them up for clinical oversight.

From our advocates

How a Pinnie advocate actually helps with financial pressure.

Auditing every bill that arrives

Most medical bills have errors. Wrong codes, duplicate charges, services that weren't delivered, or in-network care billed as out-of-network. Your advocate reviews each bill line by line against your Explanation of Benefits, flags the errors, and disputes them with the provider and the insurance plan. Most disputes are resolved without you having to make a single phone call.

Applying to assistance programs you qualify for

There are dozens of programs that lower medical costs for older adults: Medicare Extra Help for prescriptions, state pharmaceutical assistance programs, manufacturer copay cards, hospital charity care, and condition-specific grants for cancer, kidney disease, and others. Your advocate knows the eligibility rules, files the applications correctly, and tracks each one until approval. The savings add up faster than people expect.

Filing the appeals that overturn denied claims

Insurance denials are often boilerplate, and many of them are reversible with the right documentation. Your advocate writes the appeal, gathers the medical evidence, cites the right policy language, and follows up with the plan. When the first appeal fails, your advocate goes to the second level. The work pays off because the system rewards persistence.

Optimizing your Medicare plan year over year

The right Medicare plan depends on your medications, your providers, and your health needs, all of which change. Your advocate runs the math each open enrollment to see whether your current plan is still the best fit. They check formulary coverage on every prescription, check the network on every doctor, and compare total cost. If a switch saves money without sacrificing access, your advocate handles the change.
