What Florida licenses
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 [1]. The national certified professional midwife credential alone is not the Florida license; Florida law requires the state licensed-midwife license [1]. Certified nurse-midwives are licensed by the Florida Board of Nursing [1]. Verify either license at flhealthsource.gov before you hire [1]. The Florida midwife guide has the state-level sources.
What a home birth costs in Deltona
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. Medicaid must cover care from certified nurse-midwives in every state, but that federal rule does not say where the birth happens [3]. Then ask the midwife whether she is enrolled and accepting Medicaid clients. 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 she uses and who goes with you if you transfer.
