I am an RN/LMT contracting with hospice. What has been your experience as far as fee schedules for Hospice Massage Therapists? (i.e per hour, per session, mileage, actual rate)
Thanks for any and all info you can share!

Peggy,
Thank you for your questions. I am actually in the process of gathering this kind of information from hospices around the country. It is clear that a greater number of hospices are employing massage therapists. There seems to be growing interest for hospices to have massage programs– nice opportunities for massage therapists who have program development skills!
Let’s open this up for others to respond to your questions!
Ann
