A guided program for adults living with anxiety, depression, or chronic pain.
Built on Tapping — a research-backed technique that sends a safety signal to your brain's stress center and, over time, helps retrain how your nervous system responds.
Opening soon — $0 out of pocket for eligible adults with Original Medicare, nationwide.
Pick the option that fits, and we'll take you to the right place.

Get the app →Set it up for a parent, spouse, or friend who's on Original Medicare.
Start for them →On Medicare Advantage or another plan? Tell us your plan and we'll work to bring NeuroTap to you.
Get on the list →Offer NeuroTap to your eligible patients — at no cost to them.
Refer patients →NeuroTap is coming to eligible adults with Original Medicare, anywhere in the country, at $0 out of pocket for the program. We don't collect the Medicare coinsurance — no subscription, no copay, no hidden costs. (Healthcare you receive outside the program is billed under your normal Medicare rules.)
Tell us whether it's for you, someone you love, or your patients — using the options above.
At launch, we confirm Original Medicare coverage and a brief screening confirms the program is a fit. Nothing for you to figure out.
If you qualify, begin your guided sessions at $0 out of pocket, supported step by step. No tech experience needed.
Take a look at your Medicare card. If it's the red, white, and blue card that says "Medicare Health Insurance," you have Original Medicare — the coverage NeuroTap launches with, at $0 out of pocket for those who qualify. If your card shows a company name like Humana, UnitedHealthcare, or Aetna, you likely have Medicare Advantage, which the program doesn't yet include — choose "I'm not on Original Medicare" above and we'll tell you the moment there's a path for you.
The program is delivered through the NeuroTap app. It's opening soon — the moment it's live, you'll download it and begin at $0 out of pocket, with your Original Medicare coverage confirmed right in the app.

It's a fair question, and you're right to ask. NeuroTap participates in a Medicare program called the ACCESS Model, which pays for this kind of care for eligible adults. And we've chosen not to collect the Medicare coinsurance — so for eligible participants, there's nothing to pay for the program itself.
Tapping (clinically, EFT — Emotional Freedom Techniques) uses light fingertip pressure on specific points on the face and hands. Those points sit over dense clusters of mechanoreceptors — the body's touch and pressure sensors. Tapping them generates real signals that travel to the brain and help quiet its threat response, while you focus on what's troubling you. It draws on the same sensory pathways the body uses for touch and balance, directed deliberately at calming the stress system. NeuroTap turns this into a guided, structured program that builds session by session.
When you're stressed, your brain's threat center — the amygdala — sounds an alarm, and your thinking brain goes quiet. Tapping interrupts that alarm. Here's the pathway researchers have mapped:
Tapping stimulates mechanoreceptors — touch sensors clustered at these points — generating signals that travel to the brain and tell the amygdala the threat has passed. Your stress alarm quiets down.
You move out of fight-or-flight into rest-and-repair. One study found Tapping cut cortisol — the stress hormone — by 43% in an hour, more than double talk-based education.
This is what makes it last. Through memory reconsolidation, the old stress association isn't just suppressed — it's changed at the neurological level. Brain imaging shows Tapping calming the exact regions a stressor lights up.
In studies on anxiety and depression, the benefits of Tapping were retained — and in some cases kept improving — at follow-up, where other approaches faded.

Through Medicare's ACCESS Model, NeuroTap supports adults living with anxiety, depression, and chronic muscle and joint pain — the areas where EFT has the deepest evidence and the greatest need. A brief screening at enrollment confirms the program fits your needs.

Learn more →Support for the stress and tension that can amplify the experience of ongoing back, neck, and joint pain.
Learn more →NeuroTap isn't a tap-once-and-you're-done app. It's a supported program that builds over a series of sessions — so the calm you feel in the moment becomes a steadier baseline over time.
A warm welcome and your first guided session. Nothing to set up — just press play and follow along.
Short guided sessions — typically around 10–20 minutes — that you do on your own schedule, building week by week.
You rate how you feel before and after each session, so you and your care team can see the change over time — not just take our word for it.
Once it's part of your routine, NeuroTap is there whenever a wave of worry, low mood, or pain hits — on the phone already in your pocket.
Tapping's clinical name is EFT — Emotional Freedom Techniques — and it's among the most-studied techniques of its kind, with more than 300 research studies, including randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses across anxiety, depression, PTSD, and pain.

"It's rare to find a technique that is both extremely accessible and effective. It's why I recommend that both my patients and students learn Tapping."
Real, anonymized feedback from people using the Tapping programs NeuroTap is built on.
"I discovered the source of decades of unexplained anxiety and felt a burden had been lifted."
"I felt calmer and mentally and physically lighter after. My body has taken a breath and lost a lot of tension. My shoulders have dropped and my back pain has eased. I have also more energy."
"Much more calm and centered. Far less scattered and anxious. More me."
"It is definitely worth the 10-15 minutes per day."
"My experience was life-changing on a scale I found hard to believe."
"Over the course of this program, I noticed a decrease in my anxiety and felt peace and calm most days."
Individual experiences from people using these Tapping programs. Results vary from person to person.
A technique where you tap on your face with your fingertips — and someone tells you it can help with worry or pain you've carried for forty years. I'd be skeptical too. I was, twenty years ago. Then I watched it work — on my own stress, and on people I love. I ended up maxing out my credit cards to film a documentary about it, because I needed to show people what I'd seen.
Twenty years later, nobody has to take my word for it. Tapping — EFT, clinically — now has more than 300 research studies, including randomized trials where an hour of Tapping cut cortisol, the body's stress hormone, by 43%. And through The Tapping Solution app, we measured it at a scale no one had before: more than 18 million times, people have told us how they felt before a session — and how they felt after.
But the messages that stay with me come from the people who found it late. One of the first people through the NeuroTap program said it better than I could: "Sad at how long I didn't know this — 70 years."
NeuroTap exists for exactly those people — and it's built to the standards of medicine: a scientific advisory board chaired by the Psychiatrist-in-Chief of Massachusetts General Hospital, outcomes measured at every session, and participation in Medicare's ACCESS Model so cost is never the reason someone doesn't try.
If that's you, or someone you love: you've waited long enough. I hope you'll let us show you what I saw twenty years ago.
NeuroTap participates in Medicare's ACCESS Model — eligible patients with anxiety, depression, or chronic pain pay nothing out of pocket. Visit NeuroTap Health for the clinical framework, the evidence base, and referral information for your patients.
