How these listings work

Listings start from active individual National Provider Identifier records with a midwife taxonomy, and are published only after a source check such as a state roster, a home birth midwife association directory, or the practice's own website. Claimed profiles add details supplied directly by the practice.

A listing does not by itself confirm current licensure, availability, or home birth services. Midwifery licenses are issued by each state and generally do not carry across state lines, so confirm the state license and service area directly with each midwife before choosing care.

State pages cover licensing in that state, how Medicaid coverage works, published cost ranges, and what to ask before hiring.
