MSK Teletherapy Physical Therapist / PTA — Lincolnton, NC

PeteHealth•Lincolnton, NC

16h•Remote

About The Position

Treat PeteDME’s MSK Integrated Care patients remotely from home. 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 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, for a flat fee agreed in writing before the first patient. After completing the six fittings, therapists begin receiving teletherapy patient 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. PeteDME provides specialized orthopedic-bracing training and certification, AI-generated SOAP notes, and handles prescriptions, benefit verification, and paperwork. The role is not a sales position; therapists treat patients they already see and are not asked to make referrals. Fees are fixed in advance, with no pay dependent on volume or referrals.
