About The Position

PeteDME is seeking a licensed physical therapist or physical therapist assistant to provide teletherapy and remote therapeutic monitoring to patients in its MSK Integrated Care program. The program combines knee and lumbar bracing with physical therapy, delivered through a network of in-home therapists. The role is performed from home, on the therapist’s schedule, with remote visits and monitoring paid per visit and per call. Therapists begin by completing six paid in-person brace fittings for patients from their existing caseload. Each fitting includes intake, fitting, and follow-up, for a flat fee agreed in writing before the first patient. PeteDME provides a screening tool to help identify candidates and handles prescriptions, benefit verification, and paperwork. After the six fittings, teletherapy patient referrals from PeteDME begin. This is additional independent-contractor work alongside the therapist’s current job, not a sales or referral role. The company offers specialized orthopedic bracing training and certification, along with AI-generated SOAP notes; therapists do not need to learn a new EMR. Fees are fixed in advance, and compensation does not depend on volume or referrals.
