Job description

Physical / Occupational Therapist Consultant

Mason City, IA

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 Mason City, IA 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. These assessments provide objective recommendations to health plans about the equipment and services their members need to safely complete their activities of daily living and remain functionally independent in their home. 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.

Job Responsibilities:

• Perform one-time comprehensive medical need assessments in an individual’s home.
• Provide recommendations for equipment, service, and care needs.
• Complete documentation in a timely manner with collaboration with the review team as needed.
• Continuing education benefits and opportunities for professional growth through a training and mentoring program.
• Become part of a nationwide network of expert consultants.
• Opportunities for growth.

Qualifications and Requirements:

• Current licensure as a Physical or Occupational Therapist (Sorry, No PTAs or COTAs).
• Malpractice/Liability Insurance (may be purchased at the time of job offer. The cost is typically $125- $150 per year).
• 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.
• Experience with durable medical equipment, assistive technology and home modifications.
• 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.
• Drive to continually learn and grow.
• Prior experience is not required- we are willing to train the right person.

Requirements:

Licensed Physical / Occupational Therapists only. (Sorry, No COTAs or PTAs)

Malpractice/Liability insurance (may be purchased at the time of job offer).
