Home Health Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA)
About The Position
Suru provides outpatient physical therapy in patients’ homes across Southern California and is seeking licensed physical therapist assistants to treat patients near where they live and work. The PTA provides follow-up visits in patients’ homes. A licensed physical 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 PTAs to keep patients longer than a typical home health episode. When a patient nearby needs visits, the Suru app notifies the PTA. PTAs 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 through the app, and take about a minute. PTAs are paid per completed visit, at a rate described as comparable to home health, with direct deposit every week. The role is performed as a 1099 independent contractor. To get started, applicants apply and complete onboarding in the Suru app or at app.gosuru.com by providing their license, service area, availability, and desired rate. After approval, they can view available patients in their area.
