Midwife Licensing in California
California licenses non-nurse midwives as Licensed Midwives through the Medical Board of California under the Licensed Midwifery Practice Act of 1993. The national CPM credential alone does not authorize practice; anyone working as a CPM in California must hold the state LM license. CNMs are licensed by the California Board of Registered Nursing and may attend births in any setting. Verify either license at search.dca.ca.gov.
Directory source checks do not replace current license verification. Ask the practice which credential or license applies to its services and confirm it with the relevant state board or credentialing organization.
What to Confirm With Each Practice
Ask whether the practice currently attends home births in your ZIP code, whether it has availability around your due date, which credentials and licenses apply, what its package includes, and how it handles insurance and billing. Clinical suitability and care decisions should be discussed directly with a qualified health professional who knows your circumstances.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a home birth midwife cost in Woodland Hills?
Our national sample ranges from $2,000 to $9,921, but local fees and included services vary. Request a current written quote from each practice.
Does Medicaid cover home birth in California?
Medicaid must cover care from certified nurse-midwives in every state. Whether Medi-Cal pays for a birth at home depends on your plan. Ask your Medi-Cal plan, in writing, whether it pays for a planned home birth, which credentials it enrolls, and whether prior authorization is required.
Does every listed Woodland Hills midwife attend home births?
No. A listing does not by itself establish a provider's current birth setting, service area, licensure, or availability. Confirm each item directly with the practice.
What should I confirm before contacting a Woodland Hills midwife?
Confirm current credentials, home birth services, geographic service area, availability, fees, insurance policies, and contact information.
What does a claimed profile tell me?
A claimed profile may include provider-submitted availability, insurance, pricing, service area, and practice details. Confirm time-sensitive information directly before making a care decision.
What is the difference between a CPM and a CNM in California?
A CPM is a midwifery credential focused on out-of-hospital practice. A CNM is an advanced-practice nursing credential and may be used in hospital, birth center, clinic, or home settings. State licensing rules differ. Confirm each provider's current credential, license, and setting directly.
How do I choose the best midwife in Woodland Hills, CA?
There is no official ranking of midwives, and Home Birth Partners does not rank the practices it lists. Families usually compare current license status, home birth experience, the emergency transfer plan and receiving hospital, fees and what they include, and availability around the due date. California licenses non-nurse midwives as Licensed Midwives through the Medical Board of California under the Licensed Midwifery Practice Act of 1993. Verify each midwife's license before hiring.
