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 heart conditions.

Coordinating between cardiology and the rest of your team

Heart conditions rarely live alone. Diabetes, kidney function, blood pressure, and cholesterol are usually all in the picture. Your advocate keeps your cardiologist, primary care, and any other specialists working from the same medication list and the same plan. They send updates between offices, schedule visits in a sensible order, and bring conflicting recommendations to the surface early.

Getting cardiac rehab and procedures approved

Cardiac rehab is one of the most underused covered benefits in Medicare. Your advocate gets the order written, the prior auth approved, and the program scheduled before you leave the hospital. Same for advanced imaging, devices, and procedures. The denial rate when offices file these alone is high. Your advocate writes the documentation that gets the first answer right.

Watching symptoms and triaging fast

Heart conditions can change quickly. Sudden weight gain, new shortness of breath, chest discomfort, or unusual fatigue all matter. Your advocate is the person you call. They know what is urgent, what is worth a same-day cardiologist call, and what is normal variation. The point is to keep small changes from becoming admissions.

Managing the medication regimen carefully

Heart patients are often on five or more medications including blood thinners and diuretics that need close watching. Your advocate keeps a master list, coordinates refills, tracks the labs that determine dosing, and looks for cheaper covered alternatives when one of your medications gets expensive. Pharmacy coordination becomes one less thing to remember.
