VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Rocket Doctor AI Inc. (CSE: AIDR, OTC: AIRDF, Frankfurt: 939) (“Rocket Doctor AI” or the “Company”) today announced that doctors using the digital health platform and marketplace of its wholly owned subsidiary, Rocket Doctor Inc., have entered into a new agreement that expands in-network access to physician-led virtual care for eligible health plan members in New York.

Under the agreement, Rocket Doctor will become available to more than 100,000 eligible covered lives across participating individual Medicare Advantage PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) and Commercial health plans in the New York City metropolitan region and select upstate counties.

These estimates exclude the millions of members covered through administrative services only (ASO) or self-insured plans. Additionally, the payer participates in a national reciprocal network program, enabling eligible out-of-state members to access Rocket Doctor’s in-network physicians while traveling in New York.

With this latest agreement, Rocket Doctor now has access to approximately 10 million covered lives across New York and approximately 24 million covered lives across the United States through its growing network of commercial and public payer relationships, supporting the Company’s strategy to expand reimbursed physician-led care at scale. The agreement signed on July 15, 2026, has an initial one-year term, with automatic one-year renewals unless terminated or non-renewed by either party in accordance with its terms.

Rocket Doctor’s programs enable patients to connect with licensed physicians from home for services that include urgent care, chronic disease management, preventive health, pediatrics and mental health support. Through in-network participation, eligible members can access these services through their existing insurance coverage, potentially reducing out-of-pocket costs and making care more convenient.

“This agreement represents another important milestone in our strategy to expand reimbursed access to physician-led care,” said Dr. William Cherniak, Co-Founder and CEO of Rocket Doctor. “By increasing the number of patients who can connect with physicians through their existing health benefits, we are helping reduce financial barriers to care while building a more sustainable model for delivering high-quality virtual care at scale.”

By expanding its participation across Medicare Advantage and commercial health plans, Rocket Doctor is making it easier for eligible patients to access physician care through their existing coverage while creating additional opportunities for recurring reimbursement and long-term growth.
