Opus and Curogram Announce Integrated Technology Partnership to Modernize Patient Communication for Behavioral Health Orgs

Integration brings Curogram’s HIPAA-compliant two-way texting, automated appointment reminders, digital intake forms, mass messaging, and Google review automation directly into the Opus platform, eliminating one of the most persistent operational gaps facing SUD and behavioral health operators.

DENVER, CO., and IRVINE, CA., May 2026 - Opus, the purpose-built EHR, CRM, and RCM platform for substance use disorder and behavioral health treatment providers, and Curogram, the HIPAA-compliant patient communication and front-office automation platform trusted by more than 14,000 healthcare professionals, today announced an integrated technology partnership that brings Curogram’s capabilities directly into the Opus platform. Through a direct integration, Opus customers can leverage two-way texting, automated reminders, digital patient forms, bulk messaging campaigns, and automated Google review requests—all seamlessly embedded within the workflows their teams already rely on for clinical, admissions, and billing operations.


The partnership reflects a shared belief between the two companies: that healthcare operators should not have to assemble their technology stack from a dozen disconnected vendors. Over the last 12 years, Opus has built a platform where SUD and behavioral health organizations can run their entire business within a single ecosystem, and Curogram has spent 10 years building the patient communication layer that enables front-office operations to operate at scale. Bringing the two together gives operators the integrated experience that has been missing from the market.


The integration is designed for the part of a behavioral health practice where Opus and Curogram complement each other most directly. Opus runs the clinical, admissions, and billing workflows that clinicians and operators rely on. Curogram handles the high volume of patient touchpoints that flow through admin and front-desk staff every day. Appointment reminders go out automatically with templates customizable by appointment type, location, provider, and language, and patient confirmations write back into Opus in near real-time. Intake forms can be sent via text before the first visit and returned as clean PDFs for upload to the patient's chart. All staff communication runs through a single shared inbox, so no one texts patients from a personal phone, and missed calls automatically convert to text threads. Mass messaging campaigns can be filtered by demographics or appointment criteria for targeted outreach. An automated Google review funnel routes positive responders to public review and negative feedback internally, a workflow one Curogram customer used to grow from 1.8 to 4.8 stars in 18 months.


For behavioral health operators, the operational impact is immediate. No-show rates drop because reminders actually work, and patients can use two-way texting to communicate with front-office or call-center staff. Front desks recover hours of phone time. Intake starts before the patient walks in. Online reputation becomes a system instead of an afterthought. And every one of those workflows works seamlessly with Opus. 

“Opus is the operating system our customers run their organizations on, and our job is to make sure the platform keeps getting more valuable to them every quarter,” said Humberto Buniotto, CEO and Founder of Opus. “The way we do that is by carefully selecting the integrated technology partners we bring into the ecosystem. Curogram earned that spot. They built their product the same way we built ours, by sitting inside the operational problem until they understood it. Bringing their capabilities into Opus means our customers do not have to go shopping for another vendor and figure out how to integrate it. The work is done. It is part of the platform now.”


“What stood out to us about Opus is that they built their platform the same way we built Curogram — by working directly with operators and solving the day-to-day workflow problems that slow healthcare teams down,” said Michael Hsu, CEO and Co-Founder of Curogram. “Behavioral health organizations manage an enormous volume of patient communication. By integrating directly into Opus, we are giving providers a communication layer that extends Opus’ commitment to operational simplicity and real bottom-line impact. Together, we are helping providers reduce administrative burden, improve operational performance, and deliver a better patient experience.”


Curogram brings ten years of operational depth and a customer base of more than 14,000 healthcare professionals to the integration. The company built its platform alongside front-office staff in real-world practices. It accelerated significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, when it powered large-scale testing and vaccination operations that demanded call-center-grade workflow automation. That history is reflected in a product that is fast to onboard, with most customers going live in three to four weeks, and built specifically for the multi-location, high-volume environments that mid-size and growing behavioral health organizations operate in.


Beyond the technical integration, Opus and Curogram will collaborate on co-branded content, joint webinars, and industry events tailored to behavioral health operators. Both companies will actively introduce the integration to providers across their respective customer bases who would benefit from a more unified operational experience.


Opus’s mission is to help its customers deliver world-class care to 4 million patients by 2028. Curogram shares the conviction that better technology should reduce friction for patients and providers alike. The integration announced today brings both companies closer to those goals.
