## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-29 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd think about it - the right pick depends much more on your clinic's size and whether you already have an EHR than on video quality, since every serious option now has solid video.
> 
> ## If you already have an EHR, start there
> **Your EHR's built-in telehealth module** - athenaHealth, eClinicalWorks (healow), Epic (MyChart Video Visits), NextGen, AdvancedMD. Not glamorous, but the visit lands in the chart automatically, billing codes flow through, and there's no second login or duplicate patient record to reconcile. Bolting on a separate video tool means someone is copy-pasting notes. Check this box before shopping.
> 
> ## Standalone platforms worth naming
> 
> **doxy.me** - the default recommendation for solo and small group practices. Browser-based, nothing for the patient to download, free tier with unlimited calls, signed BAA. Lowest possible IT overhead and the fastest path to seeing patients this week. Weakness: it's video plus a waiting room, not a practice management system.
> 
> **Zoom for Healthcare** - best when staff and patients already know the interface and you want near-zero training. Cheap per-user (roughly $17/user/month), HIPAA-compliant tier with BAA, very reliab
