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.

Stories from our patients

Pinnie has helped thousands of patients

Member stories. Some details changed for privacy.

  • I'd missed my mammogram for three years because the timing never worked. My advocate scheduled it on a day my daughter could drive me, and got the prep instructions the day before.

    Dolores, 80 · Philadelphia, PA

  • Medicare covered my colonoscopy as preventive but the hospital coded it diagnostic. My advocate caught it on the bill and got the coding fixed. Zero out of pocket.

    Edward, 82 · Pittsburgh, PA

  • My annual wellness visit was useless before. My advocate prepped me with questions and a list of screenings I was due for. The doctor actually used it.

    Helen, 76 · Hartford, CT

  • I had no idea I was due for a shingles vaccine. My advocate checked my records, scheduled the shot, and made sure my pharmacy had it covered.

From our advocates

How a Pinnie advocate actually helps with preventive care.

Building a screening calendar tailored to you

Medicare covers a long list of preventive services, but only the ones you are actually eligible for. Your advocate reviews your age, health history, family history, and prior screenings, then builds a calendar of what is due and when. Mammograms, colonoscopies, bone density scans, lung screenings, cardiovascular labs, the annual wellness visit, immunizations. They handle the scheduling, the prep instructions, and the reminders so the visit actually happens.

Making the annual wellness visit useful

Most annual wellness visits feel like a check-the-box exercise. Your advocate changes that. Before the visit, they put together a one-page agenda with your active concerns, medication list, screenings due, and any questions you have been holding onto. The doctor walks in informed, and the visit covers what actually matters to you. Afterward, your advocate makes sure every referral, lab order, and follow-up is scheduled before you leave the building.

Confirming coverage before every screening

Preventive care is supposed to be covered at no cost, but coverage depends on coding. A colonoscopy can be free as a screening or expensive as a diagnostic procedure based on a single code. Your advocate confirms coverage and the right billing code before each appointment, calls the office to make sure the order is written correctly, and reviews the claim afterward. If a bill arrives that should not, your advocate handles the dispute.

Closing the loop when something is found

The point of screening is to catch things early. When something does turn up, the next steps move fast: a repeat scan, a biopsy, a referral to a specialist. Your advocate is on it the same day. They schedule the follow-up inside your insurance network, gather the imaging that needs to travel with you, and prepare you for what to expect. You do not lose weeks figuring out the next move.
