MSK Teletherapy Physical Therapist / PTA — Lumberton, NC

PeteHealth•Lumberton, NC

1d•Remote

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 for patients from their own current caseload. Each paid clinical visit includes intake, fitting, and follow-up, at 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 make referrals; they treat patients they already see. After completing six fittings, therapists begin receiving teletherapy patient referrals from PeteDME. The work is performed from home, on the therapist’s schedule, and paid per visit and per call. The role is additional independent-contractor work alongside the therapist’s current job.
