MSK Teletherapy Physical Therapist / PTA — West Burlington, IA

PeteHealth • West Burlington, IA

16h • Remote

About The Position

PeteDME is seeking a licensed physical therapist or physical therapist assistant to provide teletherapy and remote therapeutic monitoring for patients in its MSK Integrated Care program. The program combines knee and lumbar bracing with physical therapy and remote therapeutic monitoring through a network of in-home therapists.

Therapists begin by completing six paid in-person brace fittings for patients from their own current 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 appropriate patients and handles prescriptions, benefit verification, and paperwork. After the six fittings, teletherapy referrals from PeteDME become available. Remote visits and monitoring are performed from home on the therapist’s schedule and paid per visit and per call.

This is additional independent-contractor work alongside the therapist’s current job, not a sales role. The role includes free specialized orthopedic bracing training and certification, as well as AI-generated SOAP notes. Flat fees are fixed in advance, and compensation does not depend on volume or referrals.
