Are you looking for a new challenge that broadens your education, offers flexibility, competitive pay and is changing the way health plans understand their members’ equipment and service needs?

The Periscope Group is seeking therapists to work as independent contractors in Carbondale, IL and surrounding areas to provide per diem consulting services.

The Periscope Group has a network of physical and occupational therapists around the country who perform one time only, in-home medical necessity assessments.
