More about Backline for Telehealth:
Backline makes telehealth quick and easy.


Through Backline, clinicians can initiate video chat sessions and secure text threads to share information with patients at home in real-time.


You get unlimited use with an annual subscription vs. other offerings that charge a fee for each session which often discourages use for many types of patient visits.


There’s no registration process for patients or app for them to download. A simple text from the provider using Backline goes straight to the patient’s mobile phone to initiate a secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual visit.


Our video chat is automatically dated and time-stamped from the start and end of the call. Providers can take this information and add their CPT codes for reimbursement; it is that easy.


Backline is an easy-to-use clinical communication platform with care collaboration features you won’t find in other telemedicine offerings.


Not only can you do virtual visits, but streamline the communication and documentation surrounding them.


With secure texting, file sharing, and integration with eForms platform built-in, Backline gives you everything you need to collaborate with patients now while giving you the tools to improve clinical communication between your staff, patients, family members, and external providers in the future.
