AlteredBeast Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Home health gig combination of primary care visits, wellness visits, palliative care. must see 120 patients per month but no minimum required working days/ week Seeing minimum of 6 patients per day ( based on m-f schedule, 20 days/ month) pay is 95K - This seems really low to me, but can work as much as one wants I suppose and make near 200K so I'm told. on call once per month Friday- Monday, phone call only- This seems terrible to me. Probably a lot of med refills, random complaints, weekend basically gone. benefits. malpractice. 6 patients doesn't sound like a lot, but considering transit time, charting, etc. I'm thinking it would probably take a full 8+ hour work day making the base pay not really worth it. What does everyone think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas5814 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Personally I always disliked home health/house calls because of some (many) of the places I had to go. Filthy homes in scary neighborhoods. I went in one house for a house call for respiratory problems and there were several piles of cigarette butts and ashes 5-6 inches tall all over the house. You can imagine what the rest of the house was like. I'm not a good enough person to do that day in and day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlteredBeast Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Good, point. I remember going into some pretty filthy places as an EMT, but that was in and out. These visits may last a while longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
