MSK Teletherapy Physical Therapist / PTA — Salisbury, NC

PeteHealth•Salisbury, NC

20h•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 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 for patients from their existing caseload. Each fitting includes intake, fitting, and follow-up, with 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, teletherapy referrals from PeteDME begin; therapists treat those patients from home on their own schedule. This is additional independent-contractor work that can be done alongside a current job. The role includes free specialized orthopedic-bracing training and certification, and AI-generated SOAP notes, with no new EMR to learn. Compensation is set at flat fees in advance and is not dependent on volume or referrals.
