MSK Teletherapy Physical Therapist / PTA — New Iberia, LA
About The Position
Treat PeteDME’s MSK Integrated Care patients from home. The program pairs knee and lumbar bracing with physical therapy and remote therapeutic monitoring, delivered through a network of in-home therapists. Remote visits and monitoring are paid per visit and per call. Therapists joining the remote caseload first complete six in-person brace fittings with patients from their own current caseload, so they become familiar with the devices they will coach patients on. Each fitting is a paid clinical visit covering intake, fitting, and follow-up, for a flat fee agreed in writing before the first patient. PeteDME provides a one-page screening tool to identify candidates among patients the therapist already sees and handles the prescription, benefit verification, and paperwork. This is not a sales role, and therapists are not asked to refer patients; they treat patients they already see. After the six fittings, teletherapy patient referrals from PeteDME begin. The work is performed from home on the therapist’s schedule and is paid per visit and per call. This is additional independent-contractor work alongside the therapist’s current job. PeteDME offers free specialized orthopedic bracing training and certification, AI-generated SOAP notes, and flat fees fixed in advance; pay does not depend on volume or referrals.
