Physical Therapy Assistant Jobs

Suru provides outpatient occupational therapy in patients’ homes across Southern California and is seeking licensed Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants (COTAs) to treat patients near where they live and work. The COTA provides follow-up visits in patients’ homes. A licensed occupational therapist completes each evaluation and plan of care and is available to answer questions. Plans of care usually involve two to three visits per week for 12 weeks and may be renewed when continued therapy is appropriate. Suru notifies the COTA through its app when patients nearby need visits; the COTA chooses which patients to accept and arranges visit times directly with them. Suru handles intake, insurance, evaluations, and billing. Routine visit notes can be dictated by voice, reviewed, and submitted in the app. Compensation is per completed visit, described as comparable to home health, with direct deposit to the contractor’s bank account every week. The role is performed as a 1099 independent contractor.
