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 helps patients in New York City.

Healthcare navigation in New York City

Medicare beneficiaries in New York City face the same challenges patients face nationwide: long hold times with Medicare, specialists who are not accepting new patients, denied claims, and a healthcare system that assumes you can navigate it alone. But New York City also has its own landscape of hospital systems, provider networks, and community resources. Your Pinnie advocate knows both — the federal system and the local one. They make the calls, file the paperwork, and connect you with resources specific to the New York City area.

What your advocate actually does

Your advocate is not a call center. They are a licensed professional assigned to your case who learns your medical history, your providers, your medications, and your goals. They call Medicare on your behalf, find specialists in New York City who accept your plan, appeal denied claims, reconcile your medication list, arrange local transportation, and follow up until every open item is resolved. They are your single point of contact in a system that normally has none.

Local resources near New York City

Every community has programs most residents never hear about. In the New York City area, your advocate connects you with the New York State Office for the Aging, local Meals on Wheels chapters, community ride programs, LIHEAP energy assistance, Medicare Savings Programs, and county-level services. They screen you for eligibility, fill out the applications, and follow up until you are enrolled. Most patients qualify for at least two programs they were never told about.

Pinnie is available across New York. Covered by Traditional Medicare.
