About Luna Physical Therapy

What type of Physical Therapy does Luna provide?

Luna provides mobile outpatient physical therapy delivered to the patient’s home. Care is provided in person.

How is Luna different from home health?

Luna delivers outpatient physical therapy directly in patients’ homes. Unlike traditional home health, our patients are not homebound and use standard outpatient therapy benefits. Care delivery mirrors a typical outpatient setting, including documentation and patient diagnoses. Therapists provide one-on-one care with the flexibility and autonomy to practice more independently through Luna.

Technology & Documentation

What does the Luna Therapist App do?

The Luna Therapist App brings everything you would need to one central location. It includes patient charts, documentation, digital intake paperwork, Home Exercise Program, and built-in support from the Luna team.

How does documentation work?

All documentation is completed within the Luna Therapist App using Auto-Charting voice technology or manual typing if preferred. Because Luna delivers outpatient care, there is no OASIS or Start of Care paperwork as you may see in traditional home health.

What types of patients will I see?

Luna treats patients ages 13 and older across specialties such as orthopedics, neurology, pelvic health, geriatrics, and CRPS. You select the patient categories aligned with your skills and comfort.

Earnings & Flexibility

How long are patient visits?

Most Luna visits are scheduled for approximately 45–55 minutes, similar to a traditional outpatient physical therapy session. This allows therapists to provide focused, one-on-one care without the scheduling pressure often found in clinics.

What are the benefits of working as an independent contractor?

Independent contractors enjoy schedule flexibility, clinical autonomy, and control over their caseload while also having the ability to utilize tax write-offs.

What area will I service?

Therapists typically treat patients within a 30-minute drive radius of their home or another preferred location. You can set your service area around your home, workplace, or another convenient location.

Insurance, and Equipment

Do Luna patients use insurance?

Yes. Patients can use their existing outpatient therapy benefits. Luna manages benefits verification, billing, copay collection, and therapist credentialing.

What about equipment?

Luna provides a PT Starter Kit. Therapists are encouraged to obtain their own portable treatment table to support optimal care delivery.

Getting Started

How do I join Luna?

The first step is scheduling a brief introduction call with a Luna regional representative to review qualifications and determine mutual fit. If selected, you’ll be assisted through a quick onboarding process and can be ready for patient care as soon as within 2 weeks.

What is required to join?

You must hold an active PT license in your state of practice and reside within a Luna service area. Professional liability insurance and a current BLS certification are also required, and your recruiter will help guide you through the steps to acquire these if you do not already have them.

What support is available if I have questions?

The Luna team provides built-in therapist support through the app and regional staff. You can reach out for help with scheduling, patients, documentation, or insurance-related questions.
