Home Health Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA)
About The Position
Suru provides outpatient physical therapy in patients’ homes across Southern California and is seeking licensed PTAs to treat patients near where they live and work. The PTA treats follow-up visits in patients’ homes. A licensed physical therapist completes the 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 PTAs to keep patients longer than a typical home health episode. When a patient nearby needs visits, the Suru app notifies the PTA. The PTA chooses which patients to accept and sets visit times directly with each patient. Suru handles intake, insurance, evaluation, and billing. Routine visit notes can be dictated by voice, reviewed, and submitted in the app, and take about a minute. The role is paid per completed visit, with direct deposit to the worker’s bank every week. It is a 1099 independent contractor position. 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. Once approved, they can see available patients in their area.
