MSK Teletherapy Physical Therapist / PTA — Lafayette, IN

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

PeteDME is seeking a physical therapist or physical therapist assistant to provide remote care for patients in its MSK Integrated Care program, which combines knee and lumbar bracing, physical therapy, and remote therapeutic monitoring. The role begins with six paid, in-person brace fittings for patients from the therapist’s current caseload. Each fitting includes intake, fitting, and follow-up and is paid at a flat fee agreed in writing before the first patient. PeteDME provides a screening tool to help identify suitable patients and handles prescriptions, benefit verification, and paperwork. This is not a sales or referral role; therapists treat patients they already see.

After completing the six fittings, the therapist can begin receiving teletherapy referrals from PeteDME. Remote visits and monitoring are performed from home, on the therapist’s schedule, and are paid per visit and per call. The work is additional independent-contractor work alongside the therapist’s current job. PeteDME provides specialized orthopedic bracing training and certification, and AI-generated SOAP notes so therapists do not need to learn a new EMR.
