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 are usually two to three visits per week for 12 weeks and are often renewed when continued therapy is appropriate. Suru notifies clinicians through its app when patients nearby need visits. Clinicians choose which patients to accept and schedule 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, comparable to home health, with weekly direct deposit. The role is performed as a 1099 independent contractor. Onboarding requires providing a license, service area, availability, and desired rate in the Suru app or at app.gosuru.com. Once approved, clinicians can view available patients in their area.
