## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-27 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd think about it - the right answer depends mostly on whether you already have an EHR you're keeping, and how big the clinic is.
> 
> **If you want the simplest thing that works (small clinic, 1-10 providers)**
> 
> 1. **Doxy.me** - Browser-based, patients click a link, nothing to install. Free tier includes unlimited video visits with a signed BAA, paid tiers around $35 (Professional) and $50 (Clinic) per provider/month. This is the default recommendation for a clinic that already has an EHR and just needs a compliant video channel bolted on. Weakness: it's only video - no scheduling/billing depth.
> 2. **Zoom for Healthcare** - Worth naming because your staff and patients already know the interface, which kills most of your training and no-show-due-to-tech problems. Requires a BAA and correct configuration to actually be HIPAA-compliant (the consumer plan is not). Roughly $17+/user/month on qualifying plans. Best when call quality and multi-party visits (interpreter, family member, supervising physician) matter most.
> 
> **If you want telehealth + EHR + billing in one system**
> 
> 3. **SimplePractice** - The strongest all-in-one for solo and small group practices, especially behavio
