## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-16 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The short answer
> 
> The right pick depends mostly on one question: do you want telehealth *inside* your EHR, or a standalone video tool bolted onto whatever you already run? Here's how I'd rank them.
> 
> ### If you want it inside your existing EHR (usually the right move)
> 
> **1. athenaOne / athenaTelehealth** - My default recommendation for established multi-provider clinics. Virtual visits happen inside the same chart you already document in, so there's no double-entry and the visit flows straight into billing. Pricing is percentage-of-collections, which stings at scale but is painless to start. ([athenahealth](https://www.athenahealth.com/resources/blog/athenatelehealth-telehealth-telemedicine))
> 
> **2. eClinicalWorks + healow TeleVisit** - Native telehealth module, not an add-on. Best fit for mid-market and multi-specialty groups; per-user subscription pricing is more predictable than athena's model. ([Pabau comparison](https://pabau.com/blog/eclinicalworks-vs-athenahealth/), [medprecisionbilling](https://www.medprecisionbilling.com/compare/kareo-tebra-vs-athenahealth-vs-eclinicalworks/))
> 
> **3. Tebra** - Cheapest entry point for a 1-3 provider practice, and the small-practice pricing
