What Florida licenses
Florida licenses non-nurse midwives as licensed midwives through the Council of Licensed Midwifery at the Department of Health, under Florida Statutes Chapter 467, the Midwifery Practice Act [1]. A national certified professional midwife credential is not, by itself, the Florida license; Florida law requires the state license for licensed midwives [1]. Certified nurse-midwives are licensed by the Florida Board of Nursing [1]. Confirm either license at flhealthsource.gov before you hire [1]. The Florida midwife guide has the state-level sources.
What a home birth costs in Altamonte Springs
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.
Florida Medicaid and home birth
Ask your Florida Medicaid plan, in writing, whether it pays for a planned home birth, which credentials it enrolls, and whether prior authorization is required. Then ask whether the midwife is enrolled and accepting Medicaid clients. Medicaid must cover care from certified nurse-midwives in every state, but that federal rule does not say where the birth happens, so whether Florida Medicaid pays for a birth at home depends on your plan [3]. The Florida 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 the midwife uses and who goes with you if you transfer.
Hospitals in Altamonte Springs include AdventHealth Altamonte Springs at 601 East Altamonte Drive, a campus of AdventHealth Orlando. Nearby hospitals include AdventHealth Orlando at 601 East Rollins Street, in Orlando.

Does every listed Altamonte Springs midwife attend home births?
No. A listing does not tell you whether a midwife currently attends home births, serves your area, holds a current license, or has an opening. Ask those questions directly.
What should I confirm before contacting an Altamonte Springs midwife?
Confirm a Florida midwife license or a Board of Nursing license before you hire, and ask about home birth services, whether the midwife serves your Altamonte Springs area, fees, insurance, and availability around your due date.
How do I choose the best midwife in Altamonte Springs, FL?
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. Florida licenses non-nurse midwives as Licensed Midwives through the Department of Health's Council of Licensed Midwifery under Florida Statutes Chapter 467, the Midwifery Practice Act. The national CPM credential alone is not sufficient; Florida law requires the state LM license. Verify each midwife's license before hiring. Our midwife interview guide lists questions to ask.

Yes. Winter Park has six midwives, about 5 to 7 miles from Altamonte Springs in a straight line, and Orlando has five, about 4 to 14 miles away, along with other Florida cities inside 40 miles named above. Ask each Altamonte Springs practice, and any nearby practice you contact, whether your address is inside the service area.
