## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-23 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The short answer first
> 
> **Before you buy a standalone platform, check whether your EHR already includes telehealth.** athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, and AdvancedMD ship video visits inside the EHR; Tebra has it as an add-on. An embedded visit means one workflow for scheduling → video → documentation → billing, and no double data entry. If your EHR covers it adequately, buying a second platform is usually a mistake.

> 
> **1. Doxy.me** - My default recommendation for most small and mid-size clinics. Patients click a link in a browser: no app, no account, no download. That single design choice is the biggest driver of no-show and abandoned-visit rates, and Doxy.me gets it right. Free tier includes HIPAA compliance *and* a signed BAA; Professional is ~$35/user/mo, Clinic ~$50/user/mo for multi-provider controls, shared waiting rooms, branding, and analytics. You can pilot it this week at zero cost. ([pricing](https://costbench.com/software/telehealth/doxy-m
