Why therapists choose TP.

The practical answer: TP provides the referral network and payer infrastructure; you deliver the clinical work your license and training already qualify you for.

01 · INFRASTRUCTURE

Payer contracts, scheduling, and intake — TP operates them.

Independent pediatric practice typically means building your own payer contracts, referrer relationships, and intake pipeline before you see a single client. TP already holds those relationships. For clients you serve under TP's contracts, our operations team coordinates intake, scheduling, and billing — so the administrative friction of each engagement is lower than it would be on your own.

02 · ENGAGEMENT VOLUME

You decide what to accept.

Accept as many referrals as fit your business — full engagement volume or part-time. Scale up and down as your practice and life change.

03 · 26 YEARS

Established network.

Contract with a pediatric brand families and referrers have trusted across Florida for 26 years. Steady referral flow from TP's existing family and payer relationships — you choose which fit.

04 · PEER NETWORK

Multi-disciplinary peers.

OT, PT, ST, and ITDS contractors in the TP network you can coordinate care with and consult alongside on shared clients.

05 · MODERN TOOLS

Technology that supports your practice.

Platform and systems that streamline documentation submission, scheduling coordination, and payer workflows for the clients you serve under TP's contracts — so the administrative load of each engagement stays low. (Details in the interview — we're always building.)

How the TP contractor engagement actually works.

Transparency up front, so you can decide if it fits your business. The 1099 model isn't right for everyone — and we'd rather you know that before you apply than three months in.

TP contractors operate as independent businesses. You maintain your own professional license, carry your own professional liability coverage, exercise independent clinical judgment, and determine which referrals to accept. TP holds the payer and referrer contracts and provides the operational infrastructure around those contracts — billing submission, scheduling coordination, and intake — for clients you agree to serve.

What TP provides

  • Referral access. A steady flow of referrals from TP's existing family and referrer network — you choose which fit your schedule and service area.
  • Payer contracts. TP holds billing contracts with major Florida pediatric payers (in-network for some, out-of-network for others); services you deliver under TP's contracts bill through them.
  • 45–60 min sessions. Enough time to actually do the work, not six-minute drive-by visits.
  • Operational infrastructure. Billing submission, scheduling coordination, and intake for referred clients you accept.
  • Pediatric-only referrals. All TP referrals are pediatric — no mixed adult rehab.
  • Natural environment work. Home-based, in the settings where therapy transfers.

What you bring and own

  • 1099, not W2. You operate your own business — own EIN or SSN, own taxes, own self-employment contributions.
  • Own licensure and coverage. You maintain your Florida license, CEUs, and professional liability insurance independently.
  • Own clinical judgment. Treatment approach, session content, and discharge decisions are yours within scope of license.
  • No employer benefits. No health insurance or 401(k) match through TP — you source these independently.
  • Variable income. Earnings scale with the referrals you accept. Some weeks are fuller than others.
  • Own tools and transportation. You drive to clients; service area is your choice. You supply your own materials and transportation.
  • Autonomy cuts both ways. Flexibility is real; so is responsibility for your own schedule, productivity, and business operations.

Who we're looking for.

We're engaging personable, skilled, motivated pediatric clinicians who want to deliver quality care in a child's natural environment — operating as their own independent business, with TP providing access to referrals and payer infrastructure.

If you're an independent clinician ready to grow a pediatric practice without rebuilding payer contracts and referrer networks from scratch, this engagement model may fit.

Requirements

  • Active Florida license in OT, PT, or SLP that you maintain independently
  • Pediatric experience (strongly preferred; recent grads with pediatric placements considered)
  • Comfortable working in family homes and natural environments
  • Established (or able to establish) as an independent 1099 contractor — own EIN or SSN, own professional liability coverage, own CEU and licensure maintenance
  • Collaborative, warm, clinically grounded
  • Reliable transportation within the service area you choose to accept
