I am glad I found this channel. I have been PTA for 2 years in outpatient and I am looking to transition into HH and move to FL sometime this year. This is great!
Hi Camille, I am always curious to know how much PTA make starting out in outpatient as I'm interested in this career. Can you provide real insights when it comes to salaries?
So glad to find a PTA putting content out! I would love to find more info on the 1099 side of things… I’m gonna watch all your vids cuz you might have already done that! I currently do HH full time, and I’m hourly which is weird to me, it’s a small town with Sup PT coming from a town 30 mins away for evals and re-evals. I’m working on average 7-10 visits a day, as patients are literally a block away sometimes. I try to load up Monday and Wednesday heavy and then it’s much more calm the rest of the week and most fridays are half a day, but being hourly this cuts into wages. I want to negotiate per visit rate, currently $46 an hour on hourly pay and my previous HH job in another state was $45 per visit but had a 60 mile rural coverage radius.
Thanks for the comment Christopher! That’s a really nice hourly rate. With a 1099 side gig you would do good. You can write so much off on taxes too! What state you live in?
New grad PTA. Taking boards in October. Did my 1st rotation for a HH company and they were offering me $22-$23/hr. Is this good? Seems kinda low for HH tbh
Unfortunately, I've heard rates like this recently. Rates have decreased substantially in the last 10 years (in most areas of the country). Hope you do well on the exam.
Starting a pta program in January really excited but kinda nervous live in Florida do these companies ask for years of experience or can I be a new grad still be considered for home health
Thanks for sharing from a PTA perspective! I live in the Tampa Bay Area, funny coincidence. I’ve been working home health for the last year and a half, but mainly peds so it’s a bit different when it comes to billing and length of treatment. I recently just accepted two job offers to do adult HH, so I’m curious to see the differences. How long are you sessions generally and when you say you have 36 patients, would you say that is like doing a 36 hour work week or more like 40? Less? Trying to gauge my schedule availability between all 3 places will be interesting these first few weeks!

Hi Camille, that’s great. I hope it works out for you!

Thank you for your vids! Bout to take a job as a HH PTA Utah your perspective has helped.
Can you tell us some equipment you keep in your bag/ take with you into homes
Hi Stephanie, I may make a video of that. Thanks for the idea.
In regards to working for 4 different companies. Is that the norm, or is there full time positions available so you don't spread yourself thin?
JK any chance you can talk about salary? I’m in cali and some companies advertise 50-60 per hr, but do you usually work 40 hours or less on average?
When you say 36 patients, do you mean visits?
Yes.
If you’re Independent contractor 1099 doing HH, once you have business license do
you still need to obtain business permit?
Thank you!
No Business permit needed. I contract through agencies. I have my own liability insurance and keep up with my credentials/certifications and license.

Normally they’re looking for experience, but some would consider new grads. However jobs are really competitive in urban areas.

Depends on how much your driving. 30-35 patient visits are a 40hr work week in my estimation.
