I am looking to get into private pay home health PT as a source of supplemental income during evenings and weekends. My question is, is this something that you typically have to go through a HH agency for? Because as I understand, that is typically for patients going through their insurance (typically Medicare, Medicaid, managed care, etc.)
If I'm going with cash patients, am I able to do that without going through an agency? For PT's here that currently go this route, what equipment do you have on hand? Do you rent or buy? I think that the field is trending towards both a cash pay model, and home health, due to declining insurance reimbursements, cost of care, and convenience for the patient.
