Rocket Doctor AI adds U.S. insurer partners

Dr. Essam Hamza reports ROCKET DOCTOR EXPANDS U.S. COVERAGE, BECOMING IN-NETWORK WITH TWO LEADING NATIONAL INSURERS WITH MORE THAN 6.5 MILLION ADDITIONAL MEMBERS ACROSS CALIFORNIA AND NEW YORK STATE Doctors using Rocket Doctor AI Inc.'s wholly owned digital health platform and marketplace, Rocket Doctor Inc., are now in-network with two new leading United States health care payers. These new agreements expand Rocket Doctor's ability to now deliver care to more than 13 million insured members across California and New York State. These new agreements include approximately 2.7 million members in California under one major insurer and 3.8 million members in New York under two major insurers, extending Rocket Doctor's total in-network reach to over 13 million members nationwide. This milestone builds on Rocket Doctor's Oct. 8 announcement, which detailed new payer contracts covering more than seven million members across both states. The partnership strengthens Rocket Doctor's ability to deliver AI-powered, physician-led primary, urgent and mental health care, advancing its mission to improve access, equity and affordability in health care. The new partnerships signed on Oct. 9 and Oct. 10, respectively, span members who are commercially insured, on Medicare Advantage and Veteran Affairs, significantly broadening access to Rocket Doctor's physician-led, AI-powered health care platform. These new partnerships mark the first step into providing equitable access to care to veterans across multiple states. The company's integrated digital ecosystem brings together urgent care, primary care, chronic disease management and mental health services, supported by advanced clinical AI and connected medical devices. According to 2025 market data from the California Health Care Foundation and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the agreements include approximately 2.7 million covered lives in California, combining insured and self-financed members, and an additional 3.8 million members in New York across Medicare Advantage and other plan types. In total, the new coverage extends Rocket Doctor's reach by a further 6.5 million members nationwide. This announcement follows Rocket Doctor's Oct. 8 news release, which detailed new payer contracts providing access to over seven million members across California and New York. The addition of this latest agreement brings Rocket Doctor's total in-network reach to well over 13 million covered lives across key U.S. markets, reinforcing the company's rapid growth and expanding impact on health care accessibility. "This marks a major milestone in our U.S. expansion," said Dr. William Cherniak, chief executive officer of Rocket Doctor Inc. "By joining networks that collectively cover millions of members across California and New York, we're making high-quality, affordable health care accessible to more patients than ever, from large urban areas to rural and underserved regions. Further, expanding our network to include veterans is a meaningful addition to our ability to support accessible care. This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to reducing barriers to care through innovation and technology." Rocket Doctor's platform enables patients to connect with board certified physicians using AI-driven clinical tools to enhance diagnostic accuracy, streamline workflows and improve patient outcomes. The platform's design ensures full compliance with HIPAA standards, while delivering secure, efficient and scalable care. Patients covered under these agreements can confirm eligibility through the Rocket Doctor patient-intake page, which provides easy access to plan information and state-specific coverage details. By extending access to millions of patients across the nation's largest health care markets, Rocket Doctor continues to strengthen its position as a trusted partner to both payers and providers, advancing its mission to improve access, equity and affordability through technology-driven health care. About Rocket Doctor AI Inc. Rocket Doctor AI delivers physician-built, AI-powered solutions designed to make high-quality health care accessible throughout the entire patient journey. A cornerstone of the company's proprietary technology is the Global Library of Medicine (GLM), a clinically validated decision support system developed with input from hundreds of physicians worldwide. Alongside the GLM is Rocket Doctor Inc., and its AI-powered digital health platform and marketplace. Having helped empower over 300 MDs to provide care to more than 700,000 patient visits, the company's proprietary technology software and systems enable doctors to independently launch and manage their own virtual or hybrid in-person practices -- improving efficiency, restoring autonomy to MDs and expanding patient access to care. By reducing administrative burdens and ensuring greater consistency in care, Rocket Doctor AI's technology creates more time for meaningful physician-patient interactions. The company is committed to reaching underserved, rural and remote communities in Canada who often lack access to family doctors and supporting patients on Medicaid and Medicare in the United States. With advanced AI, large language models and connected medical devices, Rocket Doctor AI is redefining modern health care -- making it more scalable, equitable and patient centred. We seek Safe Harbor.
