About The Position

PeteDME is seeking a licensed physical therapist or physical therapist assistant to treat MSK Integrated Care patients through teletherapy and remote therapeutic monitoring. The program combines knee and lumbar bracing with physical therapy and is delivered through a network of in-home therapists. Remote visits and monitoring calls are paid per visit and per call. Therapists begin with six in-person brace fittings for patients on their own current caseload. Each fitting is a paid clinical visit covering intake, fitting, and follow-up, at a flat fee agreed in writing before the first patient. PeteDME provides a screening tool to identify suitable patients and handles prescriptions, benefit verification, and paperwork. After the six fittings, therapists can receive teletherapy referrals from PeteDME and provide care from home on their own schedule. This is additional independent-contractor work that can be done alongside a current job. It is not a sales or referral role; therapists treat patients they already see and no pay depends on volume or referrals. PeteDME provides specialized orthopedic bracing training and certification, as well as AI-generated SOAP notes, so no new EMR is required.
