Why choose Tap?
Tap was founded by an ER doctor who got tired of watching families pay over $1,000 for a sore throat or an ear infection. Most of those patients didn’t need to be in the ER. They just didn’t have anywhere else to go.
Tap fixes this problem by giving every family a doctor in their pocket.

“My mom is 79 and not as mobile as she once was, so being able to access Tap Telehealth without her leaving the house is amazing. She fears getting COVID if she goes to her primary physician just for something allergy related.”JENNY
“I can't thank you enough for your care of me today. I could not get in to see my MD and my insurance does not cover Urgent Care visits so this has been a "God send" to me for my health care needs today. I also sit daily with my mother who has dementia and is 82 years old. It is very difficult to find help when the family works. This program's assistance is simply amazing!”CASSITY
“I've always been uneasy about using tele doc but this experience has changed my mind. It was quick and easy and I felt very comfortable talking with the provider.”
