What Florida licenses
If your midwife is not a nurse-midwife, Florida requires a state licensed-midwife license, issued by the Department of Health's Council of Licensed Midwifery under Florida Statutes Chapter 467, the Midwifery Practice Act [1]. A national certified professional midwife credential is not, by itself, that license [1]. Certified nurse-midwives are licensed by the Florida Board of Nursing [1]. Look either license up at flhealthsource.gov before you hire [1]. The Florida midwife guide has the state-level sources.

Florida Medicaid and home birth
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]. None of the three Miramar midwives listed here is a certified nurse-midwife. 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. 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 which hospital your midwife uses, and who goes with you if you transfer.
Hospitals with Miramar addresses include Memorial Hospital Miramar at 1901 Southwest 172nd Avenue.
Questions to ask a midwife in Miramar
When you call, these are the local questions worth asking:
- Do you serve my address, including if I live toward Hollywood, Pembroke Pines or Miami?
- Which Miramar hospital would we go to if we transfer, and have you worked with it?
- Can I confirm a current Florida licensed midwife license or Board of Nursing license at flhealthsource.gov?
- If I use Florida Medicaid, will the plan pay, in writing, for a planned home birth with your credential, and are you enrolled and accepting Medicaid clients?
- Can you send a written fee quote that lists what is included, and do you have an opening around my due date?

Does Medicaid cover home birth in Florida?

How many midwife listings are in Miramar?
Miramar itself has 3 listed midwives, and 52 more practice within about 40 miles, including 12 in Miami. Check each one's license at flhealthsource.gov or with the Florida Board of Nursing, and ask about availability for your due date.
Does every listed Miramar midwife attend home births?
No. A listing does not tell you whether a midwife currently attends home births, serves your address, holds a current license, or has an opening. Ask directly, and check the license at flhealthsource.gov.
What should I confirm before contacting a Miramar midwife?
Confirm a Florida licensed midwife license or a Board of Nursing license before you hire, and ask about home birth services, whether the midwife serves your Miramar area, fees, insurance, and availability around your due date.
How do I choose the best midwife in Miramar, 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.
Are the Hollywood or Miami midwife listings close to Miramar?
Yes. Hollywood has 4 midwives about 2 miles from Miramar in a straight line, and Miami has 12, about 5 miles away, along with other Florida cities inside 40 miles named above. Ask each Miramar midwife, and any nearby midwife you contact, whether your address is inside the service area.
