Mileage

[RoAbreu]

Out of curiosity, what is your average daily mileage that you report on your DAR? We have to report mileage and count it as time, as well (so 30 miles is considered an hour of time on the DAR, for instance).

I've been running an average of 30 to 60 miles per day, as I am the low bwana on the totem pole and don't have a one town case load. In this area (New England) that is substantial, but I imagine it's a lot lower than in other areas where things are more rural or farther apart.

After my last home health job I put no less than 100 miles per day on my car. Most of the time 150 miles per day. We were not paid for drive time and sometimes half my day was in my car.
