Red Flag Detected.
Before Treatment Starts.
Enter symptoms. SagePontus screens against Goodman's 6 physical therapy red flag criteria in real time — and alerts before your PTA takes another step.
The hidden cost
Every clinic loses time and carries risk they can't see.
A missed Red Flag can end your career. A compliance gap can cost your clinic everything. SagePontus catches both — before anyone asks.
Lost to Claim Denials
PT clinics lose $30K–$90K annually to preventable denials. 'Missing information' is the #1 reason.
Average PT Malpractice Lawsuit
Improper management of patient treatment is the #1 malpractice allegation against PTs — and your PTA's blind spot is your legal exposure.
Before Medicare Exclusion
A single PTA supervision violation can trigger repayment demands and full Medicare exclusion. Most clinics don't know until it's too late.
How SagePontus Works
From blind spot to documented proof.
SagePontus runs Goodman's 6 criteria on every PTA session — with a timestamped record that screening happened.
Physician referral, medical necessity, insurance appeal, and legal defense trail — generated before the patient leaves the room.
Direct Access notification windows, pending referrals, and claim filing deadlines — all tracked in real time with a live Liability Score.
The Clinical Standard Behind SagePontus
Built on Goodman's
6 Red Flag Criteria
Not AI guesswork — every screen runs the same evidence-based protocol physical therapists learn in school. The same criteria that, when missed, become the basis for malpractice suits.

WHAT PTs ARE SAYING
This is what physical therapists are dealing with right now.
Red flags get missed. Critical changes go unreported. Notes don't hold up in audit.
❝ Sent 3 patients to the ER this week — DVT, 220+ seated BP, and chest pain down the left arm. Things like this show up in outpatient settings more than people expect. ❞

❝ A thorough examination and history is probably the most important thing we do. Unfortunately it takes time, and that is what seems to be constantly being taken away. ❞
PTOutpatient PT · r/physicaltherapy
❝ I'd rather get over-communicated to than find out three sessions later that something important was missed. ❞
DPTDPT · r/physicaltherapy
❝ Notes signed days or weeks after the fact will never hold up in an audit. From a legal standpoint, most entities require documentation within 24-48 hours. ❞

SagePontus timestamps every screening, every session — automatically. Because "I don't remember" is not a legal defense.
