In radiology, the patient experience doesn’t end when the scan is over. It continues through billing. Yet, for most imaging centers, that’s where frustration begins. Long billing cycles, mailed statements, and endless follow-ups leave patients and staff exhausted.
You’ve probably seen it firsthand—patients waiting for bills weeks after appointments. Your team spends hours chasing balances that should have been collected days ago.
Text-to-pay in Konica Minolta Exa changes that. By integrating with Curogram, your center can collect payments instantly through secure texts. Patients receive a simple, mobile-friendly link to pay their copay or balance with just a few taps. It’s fast, secure, and fully compliant with HIPAA and PCI standards. Most importantly, it meets your patients where they already are—their phones.

If you’ve ever wished billing could be simpler, faster, and less stressful for everyone, this guide is for you.
If you’ve ever tried to collect payments after an imaging visit, you know how complicated it can be. Between verifying insurance, tracking copays, and waiting for statements to arrive in the mail, payments are often delayed for weeks or even months. For busy radiology centers with hundreds of patients a day, this delay becomes a major financial challenge. Every unpaid balance stretches out your accounts receivable and ties up cash flow you could use elsewhere.
Patients feel the frustration, too. They receive confusing paper statements or phone calls at inconvenient times. Some forget to pay, while others hesitate because the process feels outdated or unclear. Today’s patients expect digital convenience in every part of healthcare—from scheduling to communication—and that includes how they pay. When you make payment simple and instant, you remove one of the biggest barriers to collection.
Manual billing also puts unnecessary pressure on your staff. Chasing payments, sending reminders, and managing paperwork consumes hours that could be spent helping patients or improving workflow. Errors in data entry or missed follow-ups can lead to compliance risks, inaccurate records, and lost revenue. It’s not just a billing issue—it’s an operational one.
Text-to-pay in Konica Minolta Exa eliminates these pain points by introducing secure, automated billing directly through text messages. Patients receive their balance instantly, click the link, and pay from their phone in seconds. The system logs each transaction, updates payment status in Exa, and keeps communication fully compliant. No paperwork, no waiting, and no confusion—just an easier way for everyone to complete the payment process. In a high-volume environment like radiology, this convenience translates directly into faster collections, happier patients, and a more efficient team.
When you integrate Curogram with Konica Minolta Exa, you give your radiology center a direct line between billing and communication. The text-to-pay feature uses secure, HIPAA- and PCI-compliant links that patients can trust. Instead of mailing invoices or calling patients, your team can send automated text messages that include payment requests or reminders. These messages are personalized, clear, and instantly actionable.
The process is seamless from start to finish. Before an appointment, you can send a pre-visit copay request to confirm payment in advance. After a scan, Curogram automatically triggers a secure text with the patient’s remaining balance and an easy-to-use payment link. Every message includes your clinic’s branding and payment instructions, helping patients recognize and trust the communication. Once payment is made, Exa’s system updates automatically—no manual entry required.
Curogram also offers automation tools that lighten the administrative load. You can set up recurring payment reminders, batch-send balance notifications, and track payment performance in real time. These insights help you understand payment trends, identify delays, and fine-tune your billing strategy. And because all data is encrypted and logged, you stay compliant while maintaining full transparency.
From a patient’s perspective, text-to-pay feels effortless. They don’t have to remember a portal login or wait for a mailed invoice. They simply click, pay, and receive a confirmation instantly. It’s the kind of simplicity that builds trust and keeps patients satisfied—especially in a world where convenience defines their expectations. By connecting communication and payment into one unified workflow, Curogram helps you eliminate the gap between care and collections.
Every day you wait for payments is a day your revenue is held back. With text-to-pay in Konica Minolta Exa, payments happen in real time. Patients receive their balance instantly and can pay on the spot. That means less waiting, more cash flow, and fewer billing delays that hurt your bottom line.
Traditional billing requires printing, postage, and staff time. Each step adds cost without guaranteeing faster payment. By automating payment requests through Curogram, you eliminate paper-based expenses and cut administrative hours dramatically. Your staff can spend less time chasing balances and more time focusing on patient care.
For radiology centers, high patient volume often leads to long collection cycles. Text-to-pay shortens that process by sending immediate payment links after each appointment. This proactive communication reduces A/R days significantly and gives your finance team a clearer, real-time picture of revenue performance.
When you make billing simple, patients feel respected and valued. Mobile-friendly payment links mean no more confusing paper statements or long phone calls. Instead, patients can pay from their phone in seconds, just like they do with other modern services. This convenience leads to higher satisfaction and stronger loyalty.
Automation ensures that no balance slips through the cracks. Every patient receives a secure text reminder until their bill is paid or acknowledged. These consistent, friendly nudges lead to better response rates and fewer write-offs. The result is predictable, steady revenue that supports your practice’s growth.
Curogram’s Exa integration meets HIPAA and PCI standards, protecting patient data at every stage. All payment links are encrypted, and no financial details are stored on the device. This ensures that both your clinic and your patients can trust every transaction. Compliance is automatic, so you can focus on care, not security concerns.
Billing is one of the most stressful parts of running a radiology center. Manual tracking, follow-ups, and data entry take time and energy from your team. Automating payment workflows removes that pressure and streamlines operations. Staff can manage everything from one dashboard instead of juggling spreadsheets and paper files.
With Exa text-to-pay, you gain full visibility into payment activity. Dashboards display total collections, response rates, and outstanding balances instantly. These insights help you identify trends, optimize workflows, and improve cash management. Data-driven decisions mean more control and fewer surprises in your financial performance.
Text-to-pay isn’t just for post-visit billing—it can also collect copays before patients even arrive. This ensures payment compliance upfront and reduces front-desk congestion. Patients appreciate the transparency, and staff appreciate fewer in-person transactions. Everyone starts the visit on the right foot.
Automated reminders prevent forgotten balances from slipping through the cracks. Patients who might otherwise overlook an invoice get timely, polite notifications. The system keeps your revenue cycle moving without requiring staff intervention. Consistency and automation turn potential losses into secured income.
When your team isn’t bogged down by billing calls and paperwork, they can focus on what really matters—patients. Streamlining payment workflows frees up hours every week. It also reduces burnout and frustration among administrative staff. The result is a happier, more efficient team.
Patients often delay payments because they don’t fully understand their bills. Text-to-pay messages include clear itemized charges and secure payment instructions. This transparency builds trust and minimizes disputes. Clear communication means fewer questions and faster payments.
Offering modern payment options reflects professionalism and innovation. Patients notice when your billing experience matches the quality of your care. Radiology centers that adopt Exa text-to-pay are seen as forward-thinking and patient-centered. That reputation helps attract new patients and retain existing ones.
Whether you manage one location or twenty, Curogram’s system scales effortlessly. You can manage payments across multiple sites from a single dashboard. Standardized templates and reporting ensure consistency system-wide. This scalability makes it ideal for growing imaging networks.
Ultimately, faster collections and reduced billing costs translate into stronger financial health. Consistent revenue allows you to invest in technology, staffing, and patient services. Instead of chasing balances, your team can focus on providing world-class imaging care. Text-to-pay in Exa gives your practice the financial stability to thrive long-term.
When you talk to radiology administrators who’ve switched to text-to-pay in Konica Minolta Exa, you hear the same thing over and over: “Why didn’t we do this sooner?” One imaging group in Texas struggled with long A/R cycles, sometimes waiting 45 to 60 days before a patient paid a bill. After enabling Curogram’s Exa payment integration, they began sending automated balance links within an hour of each visit. Payments started coming in the same day, and their A/R days dropped by nearly 35 percent within the first month.
Another multi-site radiology group in California had a different challenge—overwhelmed staff. Their billing team was drowning in phone calls, manual reminders, and stacks of paper statements waiting to be mailed. After implementing text-to-pay, they were able to cut their statement volume in half because most patients paid through the first mobile link they received. Staff reported feeling “relief for the first time in years,” and they regained hours that could now be spent helping patients instead of chasing payments.
A smaller imaging center in Ohio saw improvement in patient satisfaction scores. Because they serve a largely older community, they worried patients wouldn’t adapt to mobile payments. But the opposite happened. Patients appreciated the clarity and simplicity of clicking a link instead of sorting through mailed bills. It helped build trust and made the clinic feel more modern and compassionate.
