Physical Therapy Assistant Jobs

Suru provides outpatient physical therapy in patients' homes across Southern California and is seeking licensed PTAs to treat patients near where they live and work. The PTA provides follow-up visits in patients’ homes. A licensed physical therapist completes each evaluation and plan of care and is available to answer questions. Plans of care are usually two to three visits per week for 12 weeks and are often renewed when continued therapy is appropriate. When a nearby patient needs visits, the Suru app notifies the PTA, who chooses which patients to accept and schedules visit times directly with patients. Suru handles intake, insurance, evaluations, and billing. Routine visit notes can be dictated by voice, reviewed, and submitted in the app; they take about a minute. The position is paid per completed visit, with direct deposit every week. PTAs work as 1099 independent contractors. To start, applicants apply and complete onboarding in the Suru app or at app.gosuru.com by providing their license, service area, availability, and desired rate. After approval, they can see available patients in their area.
