About The Position

PeteDME is hiring a 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, delivered through a network of in-home therapists. Remote visits and monitoring are paid per visit and per call.

Therapists begin by completing six paid in-person brace fittings with patients from their own current caseload. Each fitting includes intake, fitting, and follow-up, with 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. After the six fittings, teletherapy referrals from PeteDME begin. This is additional independent-contractor work that can be done from home on the therapist’s schedule alongside their current job. The role is not a sales position and does not require referrals.

Requirements

• Active physical therapist or physical therapist assistant license in the state where the therapist practices.
• Currently working in home health or another in-home setting.
