Pinnie Direct
Text message
I have Original Medicare. My wife was just diagnosed with Parkinson's and I don't know where to start.
I am sorry to hear about your wife's diagnosis. You are not alone in this. Because she has Original Medicare Parts A and B, she may qualify for a care advocate through Pinnie Health. Visits are billed to Medicare, so a deductible or copay may apply, and we explain any costs before you decide. Her advocate would: - Find Parkinson's specialists near you who take Medicare - Set up home care and caregiver support - Handle calls to Medicare and insurance - Connect you to local Parkinson's resources It starts with one 15-minute phone call with a doctor. Want me to schedule it?
How it works
Fill out a short form (name, date of birth, state, what you need), or skip it and text us. No insurance card, no Medicare number, no password.
Your messaging app opens with our number and a short greeting already typed. Tap send.
Usually within minutes. A doctor's name and phone number. A yes-or-no on coverage. The ride program for your county. Short, plain, specific.
Care Advocate
Pinnie Health bills Traditional Medicare for these services, the same way your doctor visits are billed. Depending on your coverage, a deductible, copay, or coinsurance may apply. We explain expected costs before you agree to anything, and Pinnie Direct stays free either way.
You may qualify if you have Original (Traditional) Medicare Parts A and B. Having Medicare alone does not guarantee eligibility. A Pinnie physician confirms it on your first call. If you have Medicare Advantage, this specific program does not apply, but Pinnie Direct can still help you with questions by text.
A 15-minute phone call with a Pinnie physician. They review your health needs, confirm your eligibility, and match you with an advocate who specializes in your situation. After that, your advocate reaches out to get started.
One minute here saves a few rounds of questions later. Your first reply will already know who you're helping and what they need.
