How we help with stroke recovery
Stroke recovery moves fast at first and slows down over months. Your Pinnie advocate keeps the schedule, the equipment, the medications, and the prevention plan on rails so the work of recovery has space to happen.
Stories from our patients
Member stories. Some details changed for privacy.
Insurance was about to cut PT after eight visits. My advocate appealed it and got twenty more approved. My speech came back. The appeal was the difference.
Vincent, 71 · Charlotte, NC
I came home and didn't know what was next. My advocate had a rehab plan, equipment, and a follow-up cardiology visit on the calendar within three days.
Doris, 74 · Raleigh, NC
Two of my medications interacted and I felt awful. My advocate caught it on a routine check-in, called the doctor, and the regimen was fixed by morning.
Walter, 77 · Atlanta, GA
I was terrified of a second stroke. My advocate built a prevention plan with my doctor and checks in monthly. I haven't missed a med or a lab in a year.

From our advocates
Stroke rehab usually means physical therapy, occupational therapy, and sometimes speech therapy, often at different clinics on different days. Your advocate sets up the schedule so it works around your energy, gets the prior authorizations approved, and tracks attendance. When insurance moves to cap visits, your advocate has documentation ready and files the appeal before the work stops.
Walkers, wheelchairs, bathroom safety equipment, hospital beds at home if needed. Each one requires a prescription, a prior authorization, and a vendor coordination. Your advocate handles all of that. Most equipment Medicare covers, but only when the paperwork is right. Your advocate writes that paperwork, follows it through to delivery, and confirms it fits your home before the order is finalized.
Stroke patients often go home on a long list of new medications, including blood thinners that need careful monitoring. Your advocate keeps the list current, coordinates refills, watches for interactions, and tracks the labs that determine dosing. They are the first to spot when something is off, and the first to call your physician to adjust.
About one in four stroke survivors has a second stroke within five years. Most of those are preventable. Your advocate works with your physician on the secondary prevention plan: medications, blood pressure goals, lab cadence, lifestyle adjustments, follow-up visits. They check in regularly to make sure the plan is being followed and tightens it when something slips. Prevention becomes a habit instead of a hope.
