Home Health Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA)
About The Position
Suru provides outpatient occupational therapy in patients’ homes across Southern California and is seeking licensed Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants (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 to answer questions. Plans of care usually involve 2–3 visits per week for 12 weeks and may be renewed when continued therapy is appropriate. Suru notifies the COTA through its app when a nearby patient needs visits. The COTA chooses which patients to accept and schedules visit times directly with patients. Suru handles intake, insurance, evaluations, and billing. Visit notes can be dictated by voice, reviewed, and submitted in the app. Compensation is per completed visit, comparable to home health, with weekly direct deposit. The role is performed as a 1099 independent contractor. To start, applicants apply and complete onboarding in the Suru app or at app.gosuru.com, providing their license, service area, availability, and desired rate. After approval, they can view available patients in their area.
