Aphex, Home health pay is $65/visit. When doing home health visits many PTA's will do up to 8-even 10 per day.

Hi Alma,

Are you serious? That means you can make up to $650/day, if you do 10 visit/day.
That is alot of money. I'm still a PTA student, but I hope that I can make that much one day.

How many years of experience do you need to make that kind of money?

How much time does it take to do 8 visits? How much time is each visit?

Don't you waste alot of time driving between homes?

Obviously those PTA's are unethical. I guess some PTA's choose quantity over quality.

Aphex, experience had nothing to do with home health visits. That is simply the going rate down here. A visit does take about an hour and how long it takes to drive depends on the srea that u choose to work in.

I was offered 120K in Texas for a Home Health Agency and I'm a PTA with 17 yrs. experience. I never went into PT for the money, because the salaries weren't that great when I graduated. Being money driven is fine as long as you give quality care. I look at each person as this could be my own family and for what we pay in healthcare(and greed is why)it's because of unethical people driven by a buck. When you're good at something, money will come to you without trying. I'm so sick of hearing these new grads asking where can I make the most money. I work with a new grad and he is absolutely about making a buck, it's really sad and we'll all pay for it in the long run. Don't worry, socialized medical care is on it's way and you won't have to worry about high salaries anymore. Try getting some experience first. It's scary when I think of what kind of students these schools are accepting. This is directed at those people, not directed at the ones I know will truly make a difference in the field of therapy!

It can be done if you work at least 10 hours and your patients don't live far from each other.
