Q: What is the average facility cost per hour
for the RN and CNA?
A: This largely depends on the state and what part of the country you reside in. For example a registered
nurse in Ohio working on a medical surgical floor might be making between $24.00 to $28.00 an hour. Therefore, the suggested
markup would be $55.00-$60.00 per hour to bill the facility.
Q: Do we need to carry
workman's comp insurance for our contractors or is this only required for employees?
A: This web site www.nso.com , talks to many health care related malpractice insurance issues and offers many tailored insurance
options for health care professionals. Home care staffing nurses, certified nursing assistants and certified home health aides
need to be bonded.
If you are keeping your staff as independent contractors, they will pay for the malpractice
insurance.

Q. Do you know how I can find out if the business name
I have chosen has already been registered?
A:
There are many websites that offer free or inexpensive copyright and trademark searches. After the business
is licensed, an attorney can help you copyright your business name and trademark your logo.
Q: Staffing only hospitals, nursing homes and clinics, and possibly
a home health agency, if all of my nurses are contracted, is it required that I have workers comp insurance or do I have to
pay unemployment tax?
A.
In general, if the nurses are 'independent' contractors, you pay no unemployment tax or workmen's
comp insurance. It never hurts to contact your state worker's compensation agency. An Idea is to subcontract your nurses
out so each is classified as Independent Nurse Contractors. The carry own insurance and pay for their liability insurance
and in return you can pay a higher rate.
