Job description

Treat home health patients on your schedule, paid per visit, every week.

Suru provides outpatient physical therapy in patients' homes across Southern California. We're looking for licensed PTAs to treat Suru patients near where they live and work.

What the work looks like

• You treat follow-up visits in the patient's home. A licensed physical therapist completes the evaluation and plan of care and is available for your questions.
• Plans of care are usually 2-3 visits per week for 12 weeks, and are often renewed when continued therapy is appropriate, so you keep patients longer than a typical home health episode.
• When a patient near you needs visits, the Suru app notifies you. You choose which patients to accept and set visit times directly with the patient.
• Suru handles intake, insurance, the evaluation, and billing.
• Routine visit notes take about a minute: dictate by voice, review, and submit in the app.

Pay

• Paid per completed visit, comparable to home health.
• Direct deposit to your bank every week.

Requirements

• Active California PTA license
• Home health experience preferred
• A local business license (an LLC is not required)
• Work as a 1099 independent contractor
