Home Health Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA)

Suru In-Home Physical Therapy•National City, 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 treating 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 are often renewed when continued therapy is appropriate, allowing assistants to keep patients longer than a typical home health episode. When a patient nearby needs visits, the Suru app notifies the assistant. The assistant chooses which patients to accept and arranges visit times directly with each patient. Suru handles intake, insurance, evaluations, and billing. Routine visit notes take about a minute: dictate by voice, review, and submit in the app. Pay is per completed visit, comparable to home health, with direct deposit to the assistant's bank every week. This is a 1099 independent contractor role.
