Job description

Physical / Occupational Therapist Consultant

Clarksburg, WV

Are you looking for a new challenge that broadens your education, offers flexibility, competitive pay and utilizes your clinical skills in a non-traditional way?

The Periscope Group is seeking therapists to work as independent contractors in Clarksburg, WV 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. In 2022 we partnered with RxFunction to expand our scope to medical device trainings. Periscope consultants educate and fit people who experience peripheral neuropathy with a wearable device that is clinically proven to improve gait and balance. We do not provide patient care, only consulting services. Documentation is simple and completed via a secure online portal; any device that you have that can access the internet can be used to complete the work.

About Periscope:

The Periscope Group is a privately held consulting company that was founded in 1997. Our accurate, timely, and objective reports have assisted medical management teams to manage their most vulnerable populations. Our services are now offered in 43 states serving all demographics and all lines of business.

The success of our program is the result of our expertise - a national network of licensed clinicians (physical, occupational, speech therapists, prosthetists, and nurses) - and a unique two-tiered medical necessity review process. Our technology platform provides a secure, compliant solution for clinicians and customers to communicate and collaborate. We deliver objective, in-home data to accurately determine medical need, and apply coverage criteria so medical management can confidently make benefit decisions.

• Reliable vehicle for work
• Ability to complete physical requirements of the job including lifting a 30-pound, navigating stairs and a variety of dwelling conditions, and sit, stand and kneel to perform physical assessment, occasionally, as needed.

Our ideal candidate has:

• Experience with home safety assessments
• Comfort assessing a wide variety of conditions and diagnoses
• Excellent communication skills both verbally and in writing
• Comfort using technology and electronic documentation
• Ability to think outside the box, utilize critical thinking skills and come up with appropriate solutions
