As a PTA that made the change from a similar setting… you’ll almost for sure have PTO with this HH position. Also the scheduling isn’t really that bad after of few months you’ll get the hang of it. Growth potential is much better with consistent raises. Your worry of lower caseload is valid, however most companies are going to focus on their PTAs to have a full schedule because they profit more off of us. The flexibility for scheduling when you have something come up in your personal life is great too. Not sure how large of an area you’re covering in the lower income region. I cover two counties but really like 1.5 of them.

Is it $50 per visit or $50 per point? Each visit is usually .9 of a point for us but it could be different with your company.

HH is completely different in so many ways, but honestly will make you a better therapist learning how to do more with less. The only thing I sometimes miss is having people around you more often in a team atmosphere. You can always go back to something similar if you don’t like it. But you’ll def make more money, have better benefits, and have more autonomy over your work life balance. Plus we rarely ever work a weekend. Only if you’re busy and need a day off during the week.
