That's the fork in the road, so here's my list organized around it. > > ### If you have an EHR you're keeping - use its native telehealth first > 1. **Your EHR's built-in module** (athenaTelehealth, Epic video visits via MyChart, Tebra, eClinicalWorks healow, NextGen Virtual Visits). This is my genuine first recommendation and it's the one most clinics skip. Documentation, scheduling, and billing land in one chart with no double entry, and there's usually no separate per-provider license. athenahealth's version runs in the browser with no download or separate integration; Epic delivers video visits inside MyChart with single sign-on so patients use credentials they already have. Bolting on a third-party tool when this exists is how clinics end up paying twice for worse charting.

Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
