Florida PTA Application Checklist for In-Home Contract Work

PT Near Me is recruiting physical therapist assistants for independent-contractor home visits in Florida. Before applying, check that you can meet the requirements: an active Florida PTA license, your own professional liability insurance, AHCA Level 2 background screening, and home health experience. These are requirements for our openings, not a promise that every employer uses the same criteria.

Have the relevant information ready to discuss with the hiring team. If a screening or insurance item needs clarification, say so rather than claiming it is complete. Review your Florida license through the Florida Board of Physical Therapy Practice's official website. An application does not replace license verification or onboarding.

Name the city or area where you can reliably perform home visits. Consider travel, your existing commitments, and the amount of time you can offer. A large service radius is not automatically a better application if it creates a schedule you cannot sustain.

PTAs schedule visits directly with their own patients and follow the treatment plan written by the supervising PT. The PT creates and updates that plan. Be ready to discuss your home health experience, communication habits, and how you organize visits around patient availability without exceeding your clinical role.

Our posted compensation is $60–70 per hour, billed per visit as an independent contractor, with exact per-visit rates confirmed by region during intake. Read the specific opening and ask how compensation applies to your area. Do not assume a guaranteed caseload or calculate income from visits that have not been offered.

Use the PTA openings directory to find an appropriate location, then submit the application with accurate contact information. Applying is the start of a conversation; it does not establish an employment relationship, guarantee placement, or authorize treatment before the required onboarding steps are complete.
