About this role
The Periscope Group operates a nationwide network of therapists conducting one-time, in-home medical necessity assessments, and they're looking for licensed physical or occupational therapists to work as independent consultants in Sidney, Nebraska. You'd perform comprehensive home-based evaluations, provide recommendations for equipment and care modifications, and complete documentation through their online portal—all on a schedule you control. Compensation ranges from $135 to $200 per assessment depending on location and assessment type.
This role suits someone comfortable working independently in varied home environments, with the ability to lift up to 30 pounds, navigate stairs, and manage your own transportation. You'll need current licensure, malpractice insurance, solid technology skills, and strong clinical judgment to assess diverse medical conditions and make actionable recommendations. Prior experience with home safety assessments, durable medical equipment, or home modifications is preferred but not required.
The appeal here is flexibility and autonomy as a contractor, paired with access to continuing education and a support network of other consultants. The onboarding is described as straightforward, and you'd be working for an established firm (founded 1997) with reach across 46 states. This is a good fit if you want clinical work without the overhead of a full-time position, and if you're comfortable with the logistics of traveling between client homes.
