Unlike conventional payer agreements that target a single line of business, this arrangement gives Rocket Doctor participation across five network channels: Primary, Complementary, Workers’ Compensation, Auto Medical and Medicare Advantage. Through these networks, Rocket Doctor can engage with upstream insurers, employer health plans, and other healthcare organizations that utilize the network and its contracted provider rates, subject to applicable participation, eligibility, and benefit requirements.
The national network serves over 700 health plans, more than 100,000 employers, and roughly 60 million consumers, with around 1.4 million contracted providers. Via a single agreement, Rocket Doctor establishes a route to participate across a wide range of healthcare and reimbursement channels without needing separate network agreements with each downstream organization. The agreement took effect on July 1, 2026, and carries an initial one-year term with automatic annual renewals.
“This agreement is particularly exciting because of the breadth of access it creates through a single relationship,” said Dr. William Cherniak, Co-Founder and CEO of Rocket Doctor Inc. “As we continue to scale in California, expanding beyond traditional health insurance into areas such as workers’ compensation and auto medical creates new opportunities for physicians to reach patients who need timely care. It is another important step toward building a diversified and sustainable reimbursement infrastructure around physician-led virtual care.”
For Rocket Doctor, this deal marks an expansion of its U.S. reimbursement strategy beyond standard commercial and government-sponsored health insurance. Alongside commercial healthcare and Medicare Advantage, the agreement provides contracted access to workers’ compensation and auto medical markets, creating additional avenues through which physicians using Rocket Doctor’s technology and systems may deliver reimbursed care.
The agreement holds particular relevance for Rocket Doctor’s care model in California. Applicable California telehealth requirements embedded in the deal support reimbursement for covered services delivered via telehealth, helping Rocket Doctor offer physician-led virtual care through established reimbursement networks.
The agreement also establishes a new contracted entry point for Rocket Doctor into California’s workers’ compensation market. California’s workers’ compensation framework permits the delivery and reimbursement of eligible healthcare services through telehealth, creating an additional opportunity for Rocket Doctor to support patients who need timely assessment, treatment, and follow-up care.
This agreement represents another milestone in Rocket Doctor’s U.S. commercialization strategy as the Company continues to grow its physician network, reimbursement infrastructure, and patient access across key markets. By securing access to multiple lines of business through a single network agreement, Rocket Doctor is diversifying its potential sources of reimbursed patient encounters while generating added opportunities for utilization and long-term growth.
