PTA HH
Is anyone in Florida Kissimmee/Orlando in Home Health making more than $60 per visit in PRN Home Health? Trying to figure out if I can make more than this as a PTA when I talk to my job about a potential increase or negotiate with a new home health company/agency

I know in other states, they are potentially making 70 to 80 a visit as a PTA

It’s Florida so you likely won’t make more than that as a PTA. I used to make $75 for a friggin eval when I worked PRN….

Oh man, yeah PTs tell me it’s a lot of work for eval’s never had the courage to ask them how much they make

Don’t even get me started on the SOCs lol. My company was the last in the area that offered a salary, but now they also dropped that. We are all down to a point system now. Our PTAs are supposed to do 35 points per week and PTs 30 points per week to be considered full productivity.

I’ve never done it like that I guess because I’m PRN. I’m not sure what the 35 and 30 points per week mean

Ah gotcha. It differs per agency. At our agency it is like this:
- regular visit 1 point
- evaluation 1.25 points
- reevaluation 1 point
- discharge 1 point
- SOC 2.5 points
- OASIS DC 1.5 points
- ROC 1.75 points
So for the PTAs it means 7 visits per day and for PTs usually 5-6.

Nope. Saturated market. Most I made HH PTA was $50/visit PRN. This was over 6 years ago.

u/Desperate-Oven7549 1d ago
Yeah, I was able to make more because I was lymphedema certified. What setting are you at now?

u/PandaBJJ PTA 1d ago
Home health $45/hour

u/Desperate-Oven7549 1d ago
Yeah that’s what I see. The going rate is around here.

u/PandaBJJ PTA 1d ago
I never encountered PRN positions that paid hourly. Did you mean per visit at $45?

I'm making $65-$70 per visit with a few of my companies, but I live in southern California. So it might as well be $45 with the COL. 😂
