MSK Teletherapy Physical Therapist / PTA — Johnston, IA
About The Position
PeteDME is seeking a licensed physical therapist or physical therapist assistant to provide teletherapy and remote therapeutic monitoring for patients in its musculoskeletal integrated care program. The program combines knee and lumbar bracing with physical therapy and remote therapeutic monitoring, delivered through a network of in-home therapists. Therapists begin by completing six paid in-person brace fittings for patients on their own current caseload. Each fitting includes intake, fitting, and follow-up and is paid at a flat fee agreed to in writing before the first patient. PeteDME provides a screening tool to 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, therapists may receive teletherapy referrals from PeteDME. The remote visits and monitoring are performed from home, on the therapist’s schedule, and are paid per visit and per call. This is additional independent-contractor work alongside the therapist’s current job. PeteDME provides specialized orthopedic bracing training and certification, as well as AI-generated SOAP notes; no new EMR is required.
