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.

  1. An older woman at her kitchen table working on a laptop with a coffee mug beside her.

    Step 1

    Match

    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.

  2. An older man in his living room laughing on a phone call.

    Step 2

    Connect

    Call your advocate directly. They know your case the moment you pick up. No phone tree, no transfers, no callbacks.

  3. A grandmother walking on a tree-lined park path holding hands with her young granddaughter.

    Step 3

    Carry on

    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.

From our advocates

How a Pinnie advocate actually finds the right doctor.

Matching by case, not by directory listing

Insurance directories list every doctor "in network." That does not tell you who treats your condition at volume, who is accepting new patients, or who has the right subspecialty. Your advocate cross-references your case (diagnosis, severity, prior treatments) against actual practice patterns. The shortlist that comes back is real, not theoretical.

Verifying network and availability before you book

Your advocate calls the practice and confirms three things before booking: still in network for your specific plan and benefits, accepting new patients in your timeframe, and able to see your case complexity. About 30% of "in-network" listings fail at least one of those checks. Your advocate filters them out before they waste your time.

Transferring records and prepping the visit

Records sit in different systems and rarely move themselves. Your advocate requests records from your existing providers, makes sure they actually arrive at the new specialist, and prepares a one-page summary so the new doctor walks into the visit informed. The visit becomes about decisions, not retelling your history.

Switching if the fit is not right

Sometimes the first match is not the one. Your advocate handles the switch without making it awkward, transfers records again, and gets you in front of someone better. There is no penalty, no friction, no being stuck with the wrong person because changing felt hard.
