## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-14 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The short answer
> 
> For most clinics, the best telehealth platform is **the video module already built into your EHR**. Buying a separate platform means double documentation, broken billing, and a second login for staff. So check that first - then look at the list below.
> 
> Here's how I'd rank the actual products:
> 
> **1. Your EHR's native telehealth** - athenaTelehealth (athenahealth), eClinicalWorks healow TeleVisits, Epic Video Client, AdvancedMD's AdvancedTelemedicine, NextGen Virtual Visits. Charting, coding, and claims stay in one chart. Usually $0-$100/provider/month as an add-on, sometimes bundled free. If this works adequately, stop shopping.
> 
> **2. Doxy.me** - the default for solo practitioners and small clinics. Browser-based, patients click a link with nothing to install, and there's a genuinely usable free HIPAA-compliant tier; paid is roughly $35/provider/month. No EHR integration - you chart in your EHR and video here. Best cheap, low-friction option.
> 
> **3. Spruce Health** - my pick if your real problem is patient communication, not video. One HIPAA inbox for calls, texts, faxes, team chat, and video visits. Strongest user reviews of this group (4.7 on G2 across ~300 rev
