Apply for Occupational Therapist (OT) - Home Health (Medicare Part A) | Greater St. Louis

Smart Rehab provides in-home therapy for older adults through two care models: Medicare Part B outpatient therapy and Medicare Part A home health therapy through partner agencies. Our Part B program is built around a simple idea, outpatient-quality care delivered in the patient’s home with one-on-one visits and a strong focus on mobility, balance, fall prevention, and home safety. Across both service lines, we’re known for therapist autonomy, clear communication, and a supportive, clinician-led culture, so clinicians can do great work and patients can stay safe and independent at home.

Smart Rehab partners with home health agencies to provide Medicare Part A occupational therapy visits in patients’ homes. This role is ideal for an Occupational Therapist who enjoys a home health-style workflow, flexible volume, and community-based care. Visits are completed based on agency referral needs and patient availability. Therapists work independently in the field while staying connected with the coordinating care team.
