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 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 two to three visits per week for 12 weeks and are often renewed when continued therapy is appropriate, allowing assistants to work with patients longer than a typical home health episode. Suru’s app notifies contractors when patients near them need visits. Contractors choose which patients to accept and arrange visit times directly with patients. Suru handles intake, insurance, evaluations, and billing. Routine visit notes are completed in the app by voice dictation, review, and submission; the posting says this typically takes about a minute. Compensation is per completed visit, comparable to home health, with direct deposit every week. The role is performed as a 1099 independent contractor. 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.
