About The Position

Suru provides outpatient occupational therapy in patients’ homes across Southern California and is seeking licensed COTAs to treat patients near where they live and work. The COTA provides follow-up visits in patients’ homes. A licensed occupational therapist completes the evaluation and plan of care and is available for questions. Plans of care are usually two to three visits per week for 12 weeks and are often renewed when continued therapy is appropriate. When a patient nearby needs visits, the Suru app notifies the COTA, who chooses which patients to accept and schedules visit times directly with patients. Suru handles intake, insurance, evaluations, and billing. Routine visit notes can be dictated by voice, reviewed, and submitted in the app. Compensation is per completed visit, described as comparable to home health, with weekly direct deposit. The role is performed as a 1099 independent contractor. To begin, applicants apply and complete onboarding in the Suru app or at app.gosuru.com, providing their license, service area, availability, and desired rate. Once approved, they can view available patients in their area.
