ROCKET DOCTOR SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH CALIFORNIA MANAGED CARE PLAN
Further to Treatment.com AI Inc.'s announcement that it has entered into a definitive share purchase agreement dated Feb. 12, 2025, to acquire Rocket Doctor Inc., the details of which are in Treatment.com's press release dated Feb. 12, 2025, Rocket Doctor has partnered with a California managed care plan serving approximately 450,000 Medicaid members, to provide tele-urgent care, specialty services and primary care.
Through this collaboration, Rocket Doctor's innovative virtual care platform will support the plan's extensive provider network of 14,000 clinicians and multiple hospitals, ensuring that patients can access high-quality medical care from the comfort of their homes.
Under this fee-for-service agreement, Rocket Doctor's physicians are now becoming fully credentialled, allowing them to accept patients from the plan and bill directly for reimbursement at negotiated rates. Services have already launched, with the first patients starting to receive care. As the partnership matures, and assuming only 10-per-cent utilization per year, Rocket Doctor expects upward of 45,000 visits per year, generating approximately $1.2-million (U.S.) per year of added annual recurring revenue (ARR). The associated estimated total billable value of services is $4.41-million (U.S.) (based on $98 (U.S.) per visit). The anticipated gross margin in Year 1 is $18 (U.S.) per visit. The term of the agreement is on a recurring 12-month basis commencing Jan. 1, 2025, with a 120-day mutual termination clause.
"This partnership represents a significant step forward in our mission to break down barriers to health care access for patients at greatest need across California," said Dr. Bill Cherniak, chief executive officer and founder of Rocket Doctor. "By bringing high-quality care to Medicaid beneficiaries through managed care plan partnerships in California, we're ensuring that patients can connect with physicians when and where they need them most, embedded deeply within the framework of the health care system."
The plan sees the collaboration as a critical expansion of care options for its members.
Rocket Doctor's virtual care model reduces unnecessary emergency department (ED) visits, reduces wait times and ensures timely specialist referrals. With services now live, eligible plan members can schedule virtual visits with board-certified physicians across a range of medical specialties.
Dr. Essam Hamza, chief executive officer of Treatment.com AI, added: "We would like to congratulate Bill and his team for all the hard work they have put into getting this significant deal across the finish line. I know that this was years in the making and it's great to see that they can now start recognizing the revenue from this expansion into California. We will be watching closely as they continue to deliver on further expansion plans within the state as well as other states and provinces."
