    I like the tone, I like the earth rug. It’s all inspiration depending on the person.

      Hi, would you recommend PTA as a career? I do pretty well for myself right now but I have an income that can fluctuate by quite a bit. I'm primarily interested in HH due to the pay, flexibility and travelling around working in a variety of settings.

    What do you think about OTs. What's pay cap for OT since they don't do openings.

    • @dr.smith_dpt
      @dr.smith_dpt  Před 3 lety

      actually OTs can do openings now due to COVID but many agencies don’t train them - OTs in HH seem to be rare - so they can actually get paid more if they are the only OT per agency

    What would you say is a fair hourly rate for home health PTA?

    • @dr.smith_dpt
      @dr.smith_dpt  Před 3 lety +2

      depends on pay contract hourly vs ppv - but ideally 35-40$ per hour of salary and 50$ plus per visit if paid per visit

      @@dr.smith_dpt thanks for the input! I got an offer for $55/visit, $58 cents/mile, $33/hr, but they were super sketchy. Couldn’t answer questions about current pt volume and ghosted me for like a month. So I got another offer for $32/hr, 48 cents/mile, 6 visits per day with $75-100 more for pts over 30 per week. And I had to really negotiate to get that rate. I watch videos like yours and it irritates me how much these companies make per visit on the service we provide and how hard it is to negotiate a fair rate.

      @@thisnamepwnsyours yes. unfortunately, PT/PTA still follows supply-demand economics so oversaturated areas make getting paid your worth much harder, in addition to greedy owners if working for a staffing agency.

      @@dr.smith_dpt And I know many PTAs who don’t understand their value and don’t negotiate and let companies get away with this. I’m leaving a big PT mill (you know who) and I’m making $7-8/hr more than some PTAs, $2/hr less than some new grad PTs. I’m happy you post content that lays out salaries. Hopefully PTs stop shelling out $200k doctorate degrees unless they put their foot down and get paid what they’re worth.

    What are your thoughts on home health for a new grad?

      To take my course before negotiating pay and to aid in the job search as well as to join my facebook group of over 1600 HH DPTs - right now
      new grads that don’t take my courses get like 70k those that do 100k plus some over 200k

    Do you recommend a full time in any clinic hospital + a part time in home health as I come out of school to help pay out the loan? 60hr work week? Or are my efforts better off elsewhere?

      Loan would be around $120k after I finish, still on first year

    considering a switch to HH from OP. The pay is obviously appealing but I'm also thinking it will be nicer to see less patients overall.. Thanks for making this video.
