Midwife Licensing in Florida

CPM licensed

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. CNMs are licensed by the Florida Board of Nursing. Verify either license at flhealthsource.gov before signing a contract.

Directory source checks do not replace current license verification. Ask the practice which credential or license applies to its services and confirm it with the relevant state board or credentialing organization.

What to Confirm With Each Practice

Ask whether the practice currently attends home births in your ZIP code, whether it has availability around your due date, which credentials and licenses apply, what its package includes, and how it handles insurance and billing. Clinical suitability and care decisions should be discussed directly with a qualified health professional who knows your circumstances.

Use the sourced midwife interview guide.

Does Medicaid cover home birth in Florida?

Florida Medicaid covers home births attended by licensed midwives (CNM and LM) enrolled as Medicaid providers. Confirm current benefits and participating providers with the specific plan because coverage can differ by plan and provider credential.

Does every listed North Miami midwife attend home births?

No. A listing does not by itself establish a provider's current birth setting, service area, licensure, or availability. Confirm each item directly with the practice.

What should I confirm before contacting a North Miami midwife?

Confirm current credentials, home birth services, geographic service area, availability, fees, insurance policies, and contact information.

What does a claimed profile tell me?

A claimed profile may include provider-submitted availability, insurance, pricing, service area, and practice details. Confirm time-sensitive information directly before making a care decision.

What is the difference between a CPM and a CNM in Florida?

A CPM is a midwifery credential focused on out-of-hospital practice. A CNM is an advanced-practice nursing credential and may be used in hospital, birth center, clinic, or home settings. State licensing rules differ. Confirm each provider's current credential, license, and setting directly.
