David has spent twenty-two years inside Medicare. He knows which 1-800 line gets you the right department on the first try, which extension reaches a real person, and how to escalate when a call goes nowhere. He stays on hold so you do not have to.

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 name the issue. Your advocate makes the calls, navigates the phone trees, escalates when needed, and reports back when the issue is resolved.
Stories from our patients
Member stories. Some details changed for privacy.
I called Medicare three times and got transferred to dead lines. My advocate had it sorted in one call. I have not picked up that phone since.
Catherine, 71 · Albany, NY
My pharmacy kept saying my insurance had to clear it. My advocate did the three-way call. The medication was at the counter the next day.
Robert, 74 · Tampa, FL
A claim had been pending for months. My advocate called every week, kept reference numbers, and got it processed in three weeks. I never sat on hold.
Yvonne, 68 · Cleveland, OH
My doctor needed to talk to my plan directly. My advocate set up the three-way call, kept it focused, and the prior auth came through that afternoon.

From our advocates
You call your advocate or send a message in plain language. "My pharmacy says insurance won't cover this medication." "I have not gotten my lab results from last month." "My claim was denied and I do not understand why." Your advocate confirms the goal, asks for any reference numbers you have, and starts working.
They have your authorization on file, so they can speak directly with Medicare, your insurance plan, your pharmacy, your specialist offices. They navigate the phone trees, sit on hold, escalate when needed, and document each call. Three-way calls are set up when a provider needs to be on the line too.
Most calls do not resolve on the first try. Your advocate knows when to ask for a supervisor, when to file a formal grievance, and when to use Medicare's appeal process. They keep calling back until the issue is closed. You get updates as things move.
When the issue is resolved, your advocate sends you a short written summary: who was called, what was decided, when the resolution will land, and what (if anything) you need to do next. The phone log lives in your file so future calls have a paper trail.
