## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-28 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The short version
> 
> The single biggest factor is whether your EHR already includes telehealth. If it does, use it - a separate video tool means double documentation and a second patient login, which is where most clinics' telehealth adoption dies. Everything below assumes you've checked that first.
> 
> **1. Your existing EHR's built-in module** - eClinicalWorks (healow TeleVisits), Athenahealth, AdvancedMD, NextGen, Epic. Visit notes, e-prescribing, labs, and billing all live in one chart. eCW's healow TeleVisits is fully integrated with the clinical record including lab interface and e-prescribing. ([omnimd.com](https://omnimd.com/compare/athenahealth-vs-eclinicalworks/)) Worth noting: athenahealth has historically relied on partner integrations rather than a native video product, so confirm what your contract actually covers.

> 
> **2. Doxy.me** - the default if you want video only, bolted onto whatever you already run. No patient download, browser-based, HIPAA-compliant with a BAA, and there's a genuinely usable free tier. Professional is around $35/month per provider, with a multi-provider Clini
