/EIN News/ -- VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Treatment.com AI Inc. (CSE: TRUE, OTC: TREIF, Frankfurt: 939) (“Treatment”) is pleased to advise that further to its announcement that it has entered into a Definitive Share Purchase Agreement dated February 12, 2025 (the “Definitive Agreement”) to acquire Rocket Doctor Inc. (“Rocket Doctor”), details of which are in Treatment’s Press Release dated 12th February 2025 https://www.treatment.com/press/, Rocket Doctor has partnered with a California managed care plan (the “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 credentialed, 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% utilization per year, Rocket Doctor expects upwards of 45,000 visits per year generating approximately US$1.2M per year of added annual recurring revenue (ARR). The associated estimated total billable value of services is US$4.41m (based on US$98 per visit). The anticipated gross margin in Year 1 is US$18/visit. The term of the Agreement is on a recurring 12 months basis commencing January 1st 2025, with a 120 day mutual termination clause.

“This partnership represents a significant step forward in our mission to break down barriers to healthcare access for patients at greatest need across California,” said Dr. Bill Cherniak, CEO 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 healthcare 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, CEO of Treatment.com AI, adds: “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.”
