Job Description
About the Role
Suru provides outpatient physical therapy in patients’ homes. This is different from traditional home health: clinicians typically have more visits with each patient, more flexibility in visit frequency, and longer, more consistent treatment relationships. We can also help clinicians build caseloads up to 10× larger by transitioning qualified patients who have completed home-health therapy into outpatient therapy at home.
You can accept or decline individual patients based on your location and availability. You decide how long a case fits your schedule, and you maintain flexibility in scheduling and delivering care.
Suru handles patient intake and billing. Documentation can be submitted through a short voice recording and usually takes about one minute per visit. Eligible submitted visits can be reviewed and payout requested through the Suru app.
Responsibilities
- Provide treatment under the patient’s plan of care and supervising physical therapist.
- Communicate meaningful changes in the patient’s condition.
- Complete timely visit documentation.
- Coordinate professionally with patients, families, and the care team.
Requirements
- Current California Physical Therapist Assistant license.
- Business license appropriate for independent clinical practice.
- Reliable transportation and the ability to travel to patients.
- Smartphone access for scheduling, documentation, and case management.
- This is a 1099 independent-contractor opportunity.
