Job Description
Become an Integrated MSK Care Provider
Exclusively for PTs and PTAs currently working in home health or other in-home care settings
PeteDME is building a nationwide network of home-based therapists who want to give patients with back, knee, and other musculoskeletal conditions more comprehensive care, and earn additional income from the patients they already treat.
If you currently practice in home health, mobile outpatient, or another in-home clinical setting, this opportunity was designed for you.
What Is Integrated MSK Care?
A Simple Clinical Model That Combines
- Expert physical therapy
- Custom-fit orthopedic bracing
- Remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM)
How It Works
Start with bracing. Complete our orthopedic bracing training and certification at no cost, then provide custom-fit durable medical equipment to appropriate patients on your existing caseload.
Add telehealth. Once you’re active in the bracing program, you can also provide telehealth MSK care from home, to your existing patients and to patients referred directly by PeteDME. Through virtual consultations, you’ll assess needs, support treatment plans, and help optimize recovery.
Why Join PeteDME?
- Earn up to $32K in additional income per year by adding bracing services to your existing caseload
- Free training and certification in orthopedic bracing
- Flexible, home-based telehealth work with referrals directly from PeteDME
- No new EMR to learn: AI-powered SOAP notes simplify documentation
- Better patient care: combining bracing with PT improves patient satisfaction and outcomes more than treatment alone
- Help building your book of business: we don’t provide direct referrals for bracing, but we’ll guide you
- This is a clinical opportunity, not a sales role.
Requirements
- Current PT or PTA license
- Currently employed in home health or another in-home patient care setting (required)
- A passion for delivering exceptional patient care
