Home Health Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA)

Suru In-Home Physical Therapy•Vista, CA
•Onsite

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 role involves follow-up visits in patients’ homes. A licensed occupational therapist completes each evaluation and plan of care and is available to answer questions. Plans of care are usually 2–3 visits per week for 12 weeks and may be renewed when continued therapy is appropriate, allowing assistants to work with patients longer than a typical home health episode. When a nearby patient needs visits, the Suru app notifies the contractor. The contractor chooses which patients to accept and schedules visit times directly with patients. Suru handles intake, insurance, evaluations, and billing. Routine visit notes are completed in the app by dictating, reviewing, and submitting them. Pay is per completed visit, comparable to home health, with direct deposit to the contractor’s bank account every week. The position is performed as a 1099 independent contractor.
