The answer, as recorded

Searched; here's what I'd actually recommend, in the order I'd consider them. **First, a framing point:** the biggest decision isn't which video tool - it's whether you buy telehealth *inside* your EHR or bolt it on. If your charting and claims live in athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, NextGen or DrChrono, start by pricing their native module (athenaTelehealth, healow Televisits, Epic MyChart Video Visits). A separate platform means a second login and manual documentation, which is where most clinics lose the time they hoped to save. ## The shortlist 1. **Doxy.me** - my default recommendation for small and mid-size clinics. Browser-based, nothing for patients to install, and the lowest-friction rollout of anything on this list. Free tier exists but **paid plans are what you need for patient care** (~$35/mo per provider; clinic plans ~$50/mo for 2-50 users, which include a custom BAA). Has an Epic/MyChart integration so patients can join from the portal and the visit logs back to the chart. ([doxy.me Epic integration](https://helpcenter.doxy.me/en/articles/8273344-ehr-integration-epic), [pricing comparison](https://www.capterra.com/compare/158461-158468/Doxy-me-vs-Cloud-Clinic)) 2. **Zoom Workplace for Healthcare** - the right answer for multi-site groups and anything enterprise. Launches visits from inside Epic or Oracle Health, documents in the EHR, signs a BAA, and has call quality and IT tooling no healthcare-specific vendor matches. Also the easiest sell to an IT department that already runs Zoom. ([Zoom healthcare announcement](https://news.zoom.com/zoom-expands-healthcare-solutions-to-streamline-workflows-and-strengthen-patient-engagement/), [EHR integrations](https://www.zoom.com/blog/ehr-integrations-telehealth/)) 3. **SimplePractice** - best all-in-one for solo and small behavioral health, therapy, and allied health practices. Scheduling, notes, claims, billing, secure messaging and video in one system. Note that **telehealth starts on the Essential tier at ~$69/mo** - not the $29 Starter - plus ~$39/mo per additional clinician. ([pricing](https://www.capterra.com/p/130710/SimplePractice/)) 4. **Healthie** - the one I'd pick over SimplePractice if you're a group practice planning to grow, or a virtual-first/nutrition/chronic-care model. API-forward, native multi-provider and group charting, white-label patient app. Individual plans roughly $20-$130/mo; group plans from ~$150/mo plus per-seat. ([Healthie vs SimplePractice](https://www.gethealthie.com/healthie-vs-layout)) 5. **VSee Clinic** - pick this when your workflow is unusual: urgent care, ER diversion, telepsychiatry, or anything needing custom intake, consent forms, ePay, eRx and configurable virtual waiting rooms. Starts around $29/mo with a trial, and it's the most configurable option at that price. ([Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/p/158468/Cloud-Clinic/)) 6. **pMD Telehealth** - worth a look for specialty and hospital-affiliated groups; unlimited video, HIPAA-compliant, designed to slot into existing clinical workflows alongside its charge-capture product. ([Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/p/233335/pMD-Telehealth)) 7. **Teladoc Health / Amwell** - only if you're a health system doing cart-based specialty consults, inpatient tele-stroke, or payer-connected virtual care. Overkill and overpriced for a clinic; the right call for a hospital network. ## Two things to verify before you sign - **Get the BAA in writing.** Several of these provide one only on paid tiers - free tiers cannot legally be used for visits involving PHI. This is the single most common compliance mistake I see. - **Confirm pricing directly with the vendor.** The figures above come from comparison sites and review listings rather than live vendor quotes, and telehealth pricing moves; treat them as ballpark for shortlisting, not as quotes. If you want one answer without the analysis: **a clinic of under ~20 providers should trial Doxy.me's clinic plan**, and separately ask your EHR rep what their native telehealth module costs. One of those two is almost certainly your answer.
