Healthcare$52k–$79k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro about Ms HomeCare, LHC Group, Optum, culture. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to decide sections: Likely "About the role" (intro), "Responsibilities", "Qualifications" (maybe split into Required and Preferred), "Pay", "Benefits". The posting includes Pay Range details, benefits mention. Also schedule? Not explicit schedule beyond weekend rotation. Could include schedule? It says "Available to work a weekend rotation". That's schedule info. So we could have a Schedule section. But we should only include if posting actually states them. It does mention weekend rotation. So we can include Schedule. We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, drug free workplace, etc. Remove those lines. We need to preserve all substantive info: Intro about Ms HomeCare, LHC Group, Optum, mission, culture. Responsibilities bullet list. Required qualifications bullet list. Preferred qualifications bullet list. Pay details (range, per visit point, hourly, explanation). Benefits (comprehensive benefits package, recognition programs, equity stock purchase and 401k contribution). Also mention "Annual total cash compensation for this role assumes full-time employment (40 weekly hours) at full productivity". That's part of Pay. Schedule: "Available to work a weekend rotation". Also maybe mention visits vary based on productivity targets. But schedule is about weekend rotation. We must not repeat job title. Not include Job ID. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to format: Use

    for each section heading. Inside sections, use

    for prose,

    • for lists. We need to decide grouping: Could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. But we need to avoid too many thin sections. Could combine Required and Preferred Qualifications into one Qualifications section with subheadings? But instruction says use

      for section headings; we could have

      Qualifications

      and then inside have

      for required and

        for preferred? But we need to preserve all info. Could do

        Required Qualifications

        and

        Preferred Qualifications

        . That's okay; they are separate sections but still substantive. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. All have content. Now, we need to strip boilerplate: The intro includes "Explore opportunities with Ms HomeCare, a part of LHC Group, a leading post-acute care partner for hospitals, physicians and families nationwide. As members of the Optum family of businesses, we are dedicated to helping people feel their best, including our team members who create meaningful connections with patients, their families, each other and the communities we serve. Find a home for your career here. Join us and embrace a culture of Caring. Connecting. Growing together." That's substantive. Then "As the Physical Therapist Assistant you will perform treatment and provide exercise instruction and patient education aimed at improving/enhancing the patient's well-being while following the established plan of care." That's part of responsibilities maybe. Then "Primary Responsibilities" heading in original; we will make our own. List responsibilities: - Responsible for following all state specific laws governing the provision of physical therapy in home care, to follow the treatment set only as defined by the supervising PT; to perform only those procedures that he/she is qualified and trained to perform and to make all recommendations for changes in the plan of care to the supervising Physical Therapist - Instructs and aids patients in active and passive exercise, muscle re-education, gait, functional, ADL, transfer, safety, and prosthetic training - Observes, records, and reports to the supervising PT, the nurse supervisor, and/or the physician the patient's response to treatment and changes in the patient's condition. - Coordinates care with the other members of the healthcare team as appropriate - Instructs patient, family, caregiver, and other members of the health care team in the areas of therapy within the scope of the physical therapy assistant - Ability to function in any home situation regardless of age, race, creed, color, sex, disability, or financial condition of the client Note: The last bullet is more a qualification but appears under responsibilities; we can keep it there or move to qualifications. It's part of responsibilities list; we keep as is. Now Required Qualifications: - Current, licensed, registered, or certified to assist in the practice of physical therapy in state of practice - Current driver's license and vehicle insurance, access to a dependable vehicle, or public transportation - Available to work a weekend rotation Preferred Qualifications: - Current CPR certification or ability to complete within 90 days of hire - Ability to perform physical tasks required for patient care, including lifting, transferring, and assisting with mobility Pay: - Pay Range $52,417 - $78,625 annual total cash target pay - $30.24 - $45.36 per visit point - $25.20 - $37.80 hourly rate - Annual total cash compensation for this role assumes full-time employment (40 weekly hours) at full productivity and generally follows the range above. - Total cash compensation includes earnings from per visit point pay and hourly pay and is based on several factors including but not limited to local labor markets, education, work experience and may increase over time based on productivity and performance in the role. - This role receives two types of compensation depending on the work being performed. When conducting visits, you will be paid per visit point rate compensation. Your per visit pay will be calculated by multiplying your per visit point rate by the productivity points you accrue for various types of visits. Each type of visit is assigned a certain number of productivity points that is inclusive of "direct" and "indirect" patient care activities. Visits are assigned based on patient and business needs. The number of visits performed each week will vary based on individual productivity targets and the productivity points assigned to the visits performed. - You will be paid your hourly rate for certain non-visit activities such as orientation. - We comply with all minimum wage laws as applicable. Benefits: - In addition to your pay, we offer benefits such as, a comprehensive benefits package, recognition programs, equity stock purchase and 401k contribution (all benefits are subject to eligibility requirements). - No matter where or when you begin a career with us, you'll find a far-reaching choice of benefits and incentives. Also there is a mission statement about UnitedHealth Group etc. That's boilerplate? It's about mission, EEO, etc. We should remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The mission statement about UnitedHealth Group helping people live healthier lives, etc. Might be considered boilerplate but it's part of the posting's description of the company's values. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The mission statement about UnitedHealth Group is not exactly EEO but could be considered corporate mission; it's not explicitly EEO. However later there is explicit EEO statement: "UnitedHealth Group is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer ..." and drug-free workplace. Those should be removed. The earlier mission statement about helping people live healthier lives and mitigating environmental impact etc. Might be considered part of company description; but it's somewhat generic. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. It doesn't say remove mission statements. However the mission statement includes "We believe everyone-of every race, gender, sexuality, age, location and income-deserves the opportunity to live their healthiest life." That's still EEO-ish. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove that paragraph as it's generic EEO/diversity statement. Also remove the drug-free workplace line. Thus we keep only the intro about Ms HomeCare, LHC Group, Optum, culture, and the responsibilities, qualifications, pay, benefits, schedule. Now schedule: "Available to work a weekend rotation" is already in Required Qualifications. Could also be a Schedule section. But we already have it under Required Qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could move weekend rotation to Schedule section and remove from Required Qualifications. But Required Qualifications currently includes three items: license, driver's license, weekend rotation. If we move weekend rotation to Schedule, we keep license and driver's license under Required Qualifications. That seems reasonable. Thus Required Qualifications: - Current, licensed, registered, or certified to assist in the practice of physical therapy in state of practice - Current driver's license and vehicle insurance, access to a dependable vehicle, or public transportation Schedule: - Available to work a weekend rotation Now we need to ensure we don't lose any substantive info: The weekend rotation is schedule info. Now we need to format. Let's craft HTML:
