About BreatheSuite
BreatheSuite delivers virtual pulmonary rehabilitation to patients with chronic lung conditions across the country. Our mission is to make quality pulmonary rehabilitation accessible, empowering patients to take control of their respiratory health from the comfort of their own homes. We use a multidisciplinary model — PTs, respiratory therapists, and nurse practitioners — supported by a remote therapeutic monitoring platform built specifically for this population.
The Role
We're looking for experienced Physical Therapists to join our remote care team as 1099 contractors.
You'll be working with a medically complex population — primarily COPD, ILD, and other chronic lung conditions — conducting functional assessments and developing individualized strategies to help patients move better through breathing strategies, activity pacing, strengthening, and cardiovascular exercise.
Pulmonary-specific experience is not required. Our compensated onboarding program covers the pathophysiology, symptom management principles, and treatment strategies you need to work confidently with this population before you see your first patient.
What You'll Do
- Conduct telehealth evaluations and develop individualized treatment plans
- Deliver 1-on-1 virtual treatment sessions (30, 45, or 60 minutes based on patient need) focused on functional mobility, strength, endurance, and activity tolerance
- Write Plans of Care and communicate with referring providers as needed
- Monitor patient progress using BreatheSuite's RTM platform and adjust programming based on symptom response and data trends
- Collaborate with respiratory therapists and nurse practitioners on complex cases
- Educate patients on breathing strategies, activity pacing, and lifestyle factors affecting respiratory health
- Document accurately and on time using BreatheSuite's EMR and Therapist Dashboard
Qualifications
Active PT license in a PT Compact member state (required — allows multi-state practice)
DPT from an Accredited Program
- Minimum 2 years of clinical experience; background in geriatrics, home health, cardiopulmonary, or outpatient preferred
- Comfortable working independently with patients, including direct access cases without a physician referral
- Comfortable with or able to learn telehealth platforms, EMR systems, and remote monitoring tools
- Familiarity with outpatient PT billing preferred
- Access to a computer with webcam and microphone, and reliable internet connection
- Minimum availability of 8 hours per week; 16+ hours preferred with consistent weekly availability
