MSK Teletherapy Physical Therapist / PTA — Hays, KS

15h • Remote

About The Position

PeteDME is seeking a licensed physical therapist or physical therapist assistant to treat MSK Integrated Care patients through remote therapy and monitoring. The program combines knee and lumbar bracing with physical therapy and remote therapeutic monitoring, delivered through a network of in-home therapists. Remote visits and monitoring calls are paid per visit and per call.

Therapists begin with six paid in-person brace fittings for patients from their own 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 identify suitable candidates and handles prescriptions, benefit verification, and paperwork. After the six fittings, teletherapy referrals from PeteDME begin. The work is performed from home on the therapist’s schedule and is additional independent-contractor work alongside their current job. This is not a sales or referral role; therapists treat patients they already see and compensation is not tied to volume or referrals.

PeteDME provides specialized orthopedic bracing training and certification, as well as AI-generated SOAP notes. Applicants complete a questionnaire about their license, practice setting, and caseload, and acknowledge that teletherapy referrals begin after six fittings. A clinical onboarding specialist will reach out within one business day. AI tools may support parts of the hiring process, but final hiring decisions are made by humans.
