What Colorado licenses
Colorado registers non-nurse midwives as direct-entry midwives through the Division of Professions and Occupations, under the Direct-Entry Midwives Practice Act, with oversight by the Department of Regulatory Agencies [1]. Many of those midwives also hold the national certified professional midwife credential [1]. Certified nurse-midwives are licensed by the Colorado Board of Nursing [1]. Check a registration or license with DORA's Check a License tool before you hire [1]. The Colorado midwife guide has the state-level sources.
What a home birth costs in Windsor
Ask each practice for a written quote, and compare what the fee includes. Nationally, a 2021 survey of 129 U.S. practices found an average of $4,650, a median of $4,400, and fees from $2,000 to $9,921 [2]. The home birth midwife cost guide has the national survey tables.
Health First Colorado and home birth
Ask your Health First Colorado plan, in writing, whether it pays for a planned home birth, which credentials it enrolls, and whether prior authorization is required. Medicaid must cover care from certified nurse-midwives in every state, but that federal rule does not say where the birth happens, so payment for a birth at home depends on your Health First Colorado plan [3]. Then ask the midwife whether she is enrolled and accepting Medicaid clients. The Colorado Medicaid home birth page has the state-specific sources.
Hospitals nearby
A hospital being near you does not mean a given midwife transfers there. Ask each midwife which hospital she uses and who goes with you if you transfer.
Nearby hospitals include Banner Fort Collins Medical Center at 4700 Lady Moon Drive, in Fort Collins, UCHealth Greeley Hospital at 6767 West 29th Street, in Greeley, and UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies at 2500 Rocky Mountain Avenue, in Loveland.

- If you use Health First Colorado, ask in writing whether the plan pays for a planned home birth with her credential, and ask her whether she is enrolled and accepting Medicaid clients.
