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 license for licensed midwives [1]. Certified nurse-midwives are licensed by the Florida Board of Nursing [1]. Check either license at flhealthsource.gov before you hire [1]. The Florida midwife guide has the state-level sources.
What a home birth costs in Lake Worth Beach
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. The federal rule does not say where the birth happens, so whether Florida Medicaid pays for a birth at home depends on your plan [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.
Nearby hospitals include HCA Florida JFK Hospital at 5301 South Congress Avenue, in Atlantis.

How do I choose the best midwife in Lake Worth, 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.
