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 South Carolina.

Healthcare navigation in South Carolina

South Carolina Medicare beneficiaries face the same challenges as patients 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. Your Pinnie advocate handles all of it. They make the phone calls, file the paperwork, coordinate between your doctors, and connect you with South Carolina-specific resources through the South Carolina Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging. You get a single point of contact who knows your full medical picture and fights for your care.

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, schedule specialist appointments, appeal denied claims, reconcile your medication list, arrange transportation, and follow up until every open item is resolved. They work with Healthy Connections and local programs to make sure you are getting every benefit you qualify for.

Local resources in South Carolina

Every state has programs most residents never hear about. In South Carolina, your advocate connects you with the South Carolina Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging, Meals on Wheels, LIHEAP energy assistance, Medicare Savings Programs, and dozens of local 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.
