CompHealth placed me in two solid outpatient orthopedic contracts. The recruiter was knowledgeable and the CHG infrastructure meant payroll was always accurate. Pay wasn’t as high as what I get from ProTherapy but the experience was professional throughout.

Good agency if you’re looking for both travel and permanent options. My recruiter kept me informed about permanent positions in markets I was interested in while I was still traveling. Useful if you’re thinking about eventually settling down.

Reliable and professional. CompHealth is a legitimate enterprise — they’re not going anywhere, the payroll works, and the recruiter I worked with was responsive. Pay was $150/week lower than comparable boutique agencies but no complaints otherwise.

CompHealth is fine but not exceptional for travel therapy specifically. Their strength is locum tenens and permanent placements. For travel, I’d recommend a therapy-specific agency first. CompHealth works as a solid backup when your primary agency doesn’t have contracts in a specific area.

📊 How CompHealth Compares

CompHealth is a solid choice for therapists who want travel plus permanent placement options. For pure travel therapy and maximum pay, therapy-focused boutiques outperform.
