What's it like? Home Health Nurse Practitioner

Specialties NP

Published

Hey everybody, I'm not having any luck finding topics over NPs who do home health/house calls. I was wondering what that kind of role would be like. Are there very many jobs taking house calls out there? What kind of a schedule do you have? How do you get reimbursed and how much? I am vaguely familiar with a home health RN role, though I have never worked as one. Working home health as an NP seems like it could be a pretty sweet 2nd job for those extra days off. Especially for people like me that would rather be out and about all day rather than stuck in office.

If there is anybody out there who knows what it is like, please fill me in!

Hey I had offer for Home Visit NP position. They offered me $65 per visit. NO MA. NO benefits. I am just doing one day a week. They will give me 8- 10 patient per day. Do you think is it good or not?

You should get more than $65. One job I have is $90/visit and the other is $100/visit. I live in Texas. You should try and ask for more.

I made that as an RN in California for routine visits lasting 30-45 min. Distance varied from 5 min to 45 min apart and I could manage 8 visits on any given day but I could only sustain a 6 visit average working full time. And many of those were repeat visits on the same patients, seeing any one of those patients 1-3 X week, so not 30 different patients.

Maybe it depends in the area you live in. I know in the Northwest there are many adult family homes and so there are NP's that work with smaller organizations that go out to some assisted living facilities and adult family homes. depending on the schedule you are hired for as various organizations can offer different scheduling options like nursing- 8 or 12 hr days. Larger companies that do "house calls" like United Health Care also exist. I have a couple friends who have done this and they saw around 15-20+ patients 2-4 days a week (depending on their contract they had to meet a certain number of patient load per pay period) and charted at home, in addition to on call.
