What affects pay
Setting
Hospitals, home health, skilled nursing and private outpatient clinics pay differently. Home and travel work often pays more per visit but carries mileage and unpaid admin time.
Experience and caseload
Pay climbs with years of practice and with specialist caseloads such as neuro, pelvic health or sport. Clinics that pay per patient reward a full schedule.
Location
Large metro areas and remote or rural postings usually pay above the national figure; the city table below shows one example where official data exists.
