NEW YORK, NY, Feb. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Treatment.com AI Inc. (CSE: TRUE, OTC: TREIF, Frankfurt: 939) (“Treatment”) is pleased to announce that Rocket Doctor and its virtual healthcare marketplace has been approved as an in-network provider for New York Medicaid. This milestone now provides the state's 6.9 million Medicaid beneficiaries with direct access to Rocket Doctor's high-quality virtual healthcare services. This approval significantly expands access to affordable medical care for approximately 35% of New York’s population, ensuring patients can receive timely treatment without unnecessary emergency room visits or long wait times.

Starting January 22, 2025, Rocket Doctor’s board-certified physicians will offer primary, urgent, and specialty care to Medicaid recipients through its state-of-the-art telehealth platform, with accreditation valid until 2030. The partnership is a critical step in addressing healthcare disparities by connecting underserved communities with comprehensive, on-demand medical care from the comfort of their homes.

“I believe this approval marks a turning point for Medicaid patients in New York,” said Dr. William Cherniak, CEO and Founder of Rocket Doctor. “By bringing our virtual and hybrid-care models to one of the largest Medicaid populations in the country, we are breaking down barriers and ensuring that patients, regardless of their location or financial status, can access the healthcare they need, when they need it.”

Expanding support for Aging New Yorkers with EngageWell

In addition to Rocket Doctor’s Medicaid expansion, the team is also proud to collaborate with EngageWell https://engagewellipa.com/, a network of health and human service organizations dedicated to serving low-income and underserved populations in New York City. Established in 2016 to support its providers in navigating New York’s shift to value-based care, EngageWell enhances care management for people with chronic health conditions and behavioral health disorders by strengthening virtual care infrastructure, expanding the role of Community Health Workers, and integrating innovative technology to improve access and outcomes. Through its flagship initiative, Care Your Way, EngageWell leverages telehealth, remote patient monitoring, and social determinants of health to address health disparities and connect individuals with the care they need.

“EngageWell is committed to expanding access to care for Medicaid members and those who face systemic barriers to healthcare," said Christopher Joseph, Executive Director of EngageWell IPA. "Through our partnership with Rocket Doctor and support from our provider network, we’re using telehealth and remote patient monitoring to advance health equity and connect people to the care they need. While grant funding is currently supporting Care Your Way and our efforts to demonstrate health and social impact, securing Medicaid approval is key to sustaining and scaling these efforts.”

With services now live, clients served by any EngageWell provider can book virtual consultations with Rocket Doctor’s network of experienced physicians across more than 20 specialties. This advancement is expected to streamline access to outpatient care and drive significant improvements in healthcare outcomes, while reducing costs for both patients and the healthcare system.
