In this episode of The FeldCare Connects Podcast, host Neil Haley interviews Hrant Agakhanyan, a dedicated Occupational Therapist who shares his firsthand experience utilizing FeldCare Connects. From flexible scheduling to professional autonomy, Hrant outlines what sets FeldCare apart as a therapist referral service in the home health space.
Hrant shares his experience working as an independent contractor and explains the need for therapists to use several services and referral partners. He tells us how FeldCare stood out from other therapist referral services early on.
Hrant highlights how FeldCare’s unique structure allows Occupational Therapists and Physical Therapists to choose how they work—whether independently managing follow-up visits or opting to bring in assistants.
“Most companies use assistants for follow-ups, but FeldCare gives you the choice. That freedom really helps you create a consistent weekly schedule and better continuity of care.”
One of the biggest draws for Hrant has been the flexibility in scheduling, allowing for better work-life balance. With FeldCare, therapists receive referrals through the CliniConnects app and can choose which cases fit their availability and geography.
“The app sends you referrals, and you choose whether to accept. Once you do, you contact the patient and build your own weekly flow. It’s fast-paced and hands-on, but it keeps your day dynamic and rewarding.”
Every referral partner has benefits, but Hrant is honest about the challenges, too. His main challenge relates to coordinating patient schedules. “The therapy is the easy part. It’s scheduling that can be tricky. You want to group patients by area, but sometimes their availability doesn’t line up. Still, having that autonomy is worth it.”
He also praises FeldCare’s strong communication and administrative responsiveness:
“FeldCare is responsive and on top of things. That’s not something you get with every company.”
When asked what advice he’d give to new grads, Hrant is candid. “Home health isn’t for everyone right away. You’re on your own. It’s not like a hospital where you can learn by watching others. But if you're independent and can handle a learning curve, it can work.”
