MSK Teletherapy Physical Therapist / PTA — Santa Ana, CA

PeteHealth•Santa Ana, CA

About The Position

Treat PeteDME’s MSK Integrated Care patients from home. The program pairs 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. Every therapist on the remote caseload begins with six in-person brace fittings for patients from their own current caseload, to become familiar with the devices they will coach patients on. Each fitting is a paid clinical visit that includes intake, fitting, and follow-up, for a flat fee agreed in writing before the first patient. PeteDME provides a one-page screening tool to identify eligible candidates among patients the therapist already sees, and handles prescriptions, benefit verification, and paperwork. This is not a sales role, and therapists are not asked to refer patients; they treat patients they already see. After completing six fittings, teletherapy patient referrals from PeteDME begin. These are PeteDME’s patients, treated from home on the therapist’s schedule, with payment per visit and per call. The work is additional independent-contractor work alongside the therapist’s current job.
