Rocket Doctor AI in network with Maryland Medicaid

Dr. Essam Hamza reports ROCKET DOCTOR NOW IN-NETWORK WITH MARYLAND MEDICAID & MEDICARE, EXPANDING ACCESS FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS Doctors using Rocket Doctor AI Inc.'s wholly owned digital health platform and marketplace, Rocket Doctor Inc., are now in network with Maryland Medicaid and Medicare. This milestone enables Rocket Doctor to begin serving Maryland residents covered under these public insurance programs through in-network access, improving affordability, coverage and continuity of care. With Maryland Medicaid covering more than 1,522,680 people (about 25 per cent of the state's population), including nearly half of all children, and Medicare covering more than 1,145,093 Marylanders (approximately 17 per cent), this move opens doors to a large and essential segment of the state's population. Being in-network with these plans reduces or eliminates many out-of-pocket costs for patients, simplifies billing and claims, and ensures patients can access health care services. Maryland Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries will be able to access Rocket Doctor's full suite of virtual care services, including urgent care, chronic disease management, preventive health and mental health care, all from the comfort of home through their choice of video or audio visits, depending on their Internet bandwidth and comfort with technology. "In-network status with Maryland Medicaid and Medicare is a significant step in our mission to make care accessible to all, regardless of insurance type," said Dr. William Cherniak, chief executive officer of Rocket Doctor. "For many Marylanders, especially in rural or underserved areas, accessing a clinic or doctor in person means long drive times, waits and logistical challenges. Having worked as a clinician in South Baltimore, I have seen first-hand the challenges patients face in accessing much needed clinical care, especially members on Medicaid and Medicare. We can now help to bridge those gaps, giving patients timely care when they need it most." This expansion reflects Rocket Doctor's continuing investment in public insurance coverage so as to support health equity. It complements the company's existing pharmacy-based programs, virtual care stations and partnerships that have already scaled access in parts of the United States and Canada. Maryland's recent health care policies, including its participation in the Ahead model, emphasize population health, equity and lowering costs across all payers, including Medicaid and Medicare. Rocket Doctor's in-network arrangement aligns with these state priorities, offering a scalable, technology-driven solution to serve Maryland's vulnerable populations more effectively.
