Job Description

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 Lancaster, PA 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.

Documentation is simple and completed via secure online portal; any device that you have that can access the internet can be used to complete the work.

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.
