Asked Questions
What are the requirements to travel as an OT?
Healthcare traveler requirements vary by facility and state. To ensure that you are ready to go when a recruiter contacts you, we recommend that:
• All professional licenses and certifications are updated and ready to go before you apply.
• Any additional licenses that may be required based on your assignment’s location.
• You are a new graduate or have on-the-job experience as an OT.
How do I get started as a traveling OT?
Like we do most things, it’s important to do your research. You’ll want to pick a reputable healthcare staffing agency like LRS Healthcare. As one of our travelers, you’ll have access to our dedicated operations and traveler experience teams 24/7/365.

How much will I be paid to travel as an OT?
The job, destination, facility, and agency you work with are all variables that directly affect your take-home pay. You will also want to check if sites and job boards that promote weekly pay either display the pay before or after taxes and include or exclude travel and housing stipends. These variables affect what your take-home pay could be and could potentially vary from the number promoted on the job post.
For the most accurate estimate, reach out to your LRS Healthcare recruiter. They will outline your personalized pay package with you, so you know what to expect on each pay stub.
