Apply for Physical Therapist (PT) - In-Home Outpatient (Medicare Part B) | 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.

This position provides outpatient physical therapy services in the home for older adults under Medicare Part B. Physical Therapists deliver one-on-one care during 60-minute visits, focusing on mobility, strength, balance, safety, and functional independence.

Therapists manage a local caseload, work independently, and maintain flexibility in scheduling. This is not a home health role, patients are not home bound, and care is not productivity driven.

Who This Role Is Ideal For

The role is intentionally designed for Physical Therapists who value quality, autonomy, and one-on-one care.

It is a great fit for a therapist who:

• Enjoys working with older adults and addressing balance, mobility, and safety
• Prefers one-on-one care over high volume clinic schedules
• Values clinical independence and decision-making
• Wants flexibility and control over their weekly schedule
• Has experience in outpatient, home-based, or home health settings and wants a more patient centered pace

This role may not be the best fit for therapists seeking high daily visit volume or productivity based environments.
