Your post is somewhat confusing. Are you talking about two people in two locations or two people at one location? I was asked to do a case one time when there would be a second child at the home also with problems and I was only going to be paid for taking care of one. I did not accept the case.

They want to assign you a husband and wife, both total care, in the same home...and pay you for the care of only one? That is how I interpret your post and I say that your "for profit" company is getting a case of the greeds. NO, I would not agree to that assignment.

You are wise not to take that case and be taken advantage of. Best wishes for your hospital opportunity.

By the way, one time I saw the rates one of my employers charges for two patients. It is obvious that you would not have been sharing in the double rate income from the case.
