How Pinnie works
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.
Step 1
Tell us about your condition and your insurance. We pair you with an advocate whose background fits your situation. Most patients are matched within a day.
Step 2
Call your advocate directly. They know your case the moment you pick up. No phone tree, no transfers, no callbacks.
Step 3
Your advocate handles the appointments, the prior auths, the appeals, and the calls. As long as you need help, they are on it. Covered by Traditional Medicare.

What your advocate handles
You should not have to know about every assistance program in your county. Your advocate already does. They identify what you qualify for, file the paperwork, and confirm enrollment.
Stories from our patients
Member stories. Some details changed for privacy.
I had no idea I qualified for Extra Help. My advocate filled out the form. My medication costs dropped from six hundred a month to forty.
Frances, 75 · Long Island, NY
Getting to my dialysis was the hardest part. My advocate set up Medicare-covered transportation. Now I never miss a treatment.
Reginald, 71 · Cleveland, OH
I was eating cereal for dinner because cooking was too hard. My advocate enrolled me in Meals on Wheels. Now I get a real meal every day.

From our advocates
Your advocate runs a full eligibility screening across the major federal, state, and local programs: Medicaid, Extra Help with prescriptions, Medicare Savings Programs, SNAP, LIHEAP, weatherization, property tax relief, transportation, home health, food delivery, and more. Most patients qualify for at least three programs they were never told about.
Most applications get rejected for paperwork problems, not ineligibility. Your advocate knows the right forms, the supporting documentation needed, and the answers that lead to approval. They fill it out with you, file it, and track it through the decision. Approval rates jump dramatically when the application is right.
Medicare-covered transportation, paratransit, volunteer driver networks, home health aides, visiting nurses, home modification programs. Your advocate identifies what fits your situation, arranges the service, and follows up to make sure it shows up. Reliable rides and reliable help at home are the foundation of staying independent.
Loneliness and isolation are health risks. Your advocate connects you with senior centers, faith-based programs, companion programs, and caregiver support groups. Mental-health support gets coordinated through Medicare-covered providers. The goal is a life with more in it, not just more programs.
