* The agreement further strengthens Rocket Doctor’s presence in one of the largest U.S. healthcare markets and supports its national expansion strategy.
* The partnership enhances payer mix and positions the Company for sustained growth driven by employer demand for digital-first care.Vancouver, BC, Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rocket Doctor AI Inc. (CSE: AIDR, OTC: AIRDF, Frankfurt: 939) (“Rocket Doctor AI”) today announced that doctors using its wholly-owned digital health platform and marketplace, Rocket Doctor Inc., are now in-network with another major insurer for commercial employer-sponsored health plans in California. Under the agreement, eligible members gain in-network access to Rocket Doctor’s network of board-certified physicians.
This expansion strengthens Rocket Doctor’s footprint in California, one of the largest and most complex healthcare markets in the United States, and reflects the Company’s continued focus on embedding its physician-led platform within established payer networks. By doing so, Rocket Doctor is helping employers and health plans improve access to timely, high-quality care while reducing friction for patients seeking in-network options.
This announcement follows Rocket Doctor’s October 21st news release, which detailed new payer contracts providing access to over 2.7 million members across California. 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 (primarily California and New York), reinforcing the company’s rapid growth and expanding impact on healthcare accessibility.
“Partnering with this leading commercial insurer represents a significant milestone in our U.S. growth strategy,” said Dr. William Cherniak, Co-Founder and CEO of Rocket Doctor Inc. Employer-sponsored plans play a central role in healthcare coverage across California, and this agreement allows us to support working individuals and families with convenient, clinician-led care, while aligning with the quality, accessibility, and compliance standards expected by a leading national insurer.”
Under the agreement, Rocket Doctor’s network of board-certified providers will deliver covered healthcare services to eligible members in accordance with applicable benefit plans and California regulatory requirements. The collaboration reinforces Rocket Doctor’s commitment to clinical excellence, care continuity, and equitable access to healthcare services across diverse populations. By enhancing its payer mix it further empowers MDs on the platform to care for patients on Medicaid and Medicare, as well as those members in underserved, rural, and remote communities.
