> [@sjpadgett](#): > > So i’m unclear. Did the Jitsi not work out or did your engineers decide Vonage would be more appropriate? My understanding is that the server used by Jitsi free accounts is their open source version with maybe some addons. The engineers decided Vonage would be quicker. Vonage had a very inviting technical support and sandbox to get started. I found several case uses for Vonage. We were a case use. It was easy to connect, expensive to use at moderate to large scale, and built to support large trainings, convention and events. They provide sessions for telehealth sellers that charge more for telehealth than EHRs that offer telehealth more like like Jitsi (i.e. they download an app on the client side). I just found this when I searched “what EMR uses Jitsi?” > [@Video Conferencing Support](https://community.open-emr.org/t/video-conferencing-support/13984): > > All practices dealing with CMS/Medicare should review [Coverage and Payment Related to COVID-19 Medicare](https://www.cms.gov/files/document/03052020-medicare-covid-19-fact-sheet.pdf). CMS billing guidance for remote contact can be found towards end of page 3. It would be a helpful to add Video Conferencing as first feature of OpenEMR telehealth project. At minimum it can automatically create an encounter, record the start and end times and optionally let MD record the session for creating a note later. Thank you @robert.down for establishing this as a topic. I know less than nothing about this. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.open-emr.org/t/video-conferencing-telehealth-integrations/16079)._
