What Florida licenses

Under Florida Statutes Chapter 467, the Midwifery Practice Act, Florida licenses non-nurse midwives as licensed midwives through the Department of Health's Council of Licensed Midwifery [1]. The national certified professional midwife credential alone is not the Florida license [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 Wesley Chapel

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 certified nurse-midwife care in every state. Because the federal rule does not name the birth setting, whether Florida Medicaid pays for a planned home birth 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.

Hospitals in the Wesley Chapel area include AdventHealth Wesley Chapel at 2600 Bruce B Downs Boulevard. Nearby hospitals include AdventHealth Zephyrhills at 7050 Gall Boulevard, in Zephyrhills.

Questions to ask a midwife in Wesley Chapel

When you call, these are the questions that matter most in Wesley Chapel:

  • Ask whether she serves your Wesley Chapel area, including if you live toward Lutz, Zephyrhills or Land O' Lakes.
  • Ask which hospital she uses if you transfer, and whether she has worked with AdventHealth Wesley Chapel or AdventHealth Zephyrhills.
  • Ask her to confirm a current Florida midwife license or Board of Nursing license, and check it at flhealthsource.gov.
  • If you use Florida Medicaid, ask in writing whether the plan pays for a planned home birth with her credential, and ask her whether she is enrolled and accepting Medicaid clients.
  • Ask for a written fee quote that lists what is included, and whether she has room around your due date.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a home birth midwife cost in Wesley Chapel?

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.

Does Medicaid cover home birth in Florida?

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 certified nurse-midwife care in every state. Because the federal rule does not name the birth setting, whether Florida Medicaid pays for a planned home birth depends on your plan. Then ask the midwife whether she is enrolled and accepting Medicaid clients.

How many midwives are in Wesley Chapel?

Wesley Chapel itself has 3 midwives, and 34 more practice within about 40 miles. Check each one's license at flhealthsource.gov or with the Florida Board of Nursing, and ask about her availability for your due date.

Does every listed Wesley Chapel midwife attend home births?

No. A listing does not tell you whether she currently attends home births, serves your area, holds a current license, or has an opening. Ask her those questions directly.

What should I confirm before contacting a Wesley Chapel midwife?

Confirm a Florida midwife license or a Board of Nursing license before you hire, and ask about home birth services, whether she serves your Wesley Chapel area, fees, insurance, and availability around your due date.

How do I choose the best midwife in Wesley Chapel, 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 Tampa midwives close to Wesley Chapel?

Yes. Tampa has five midwives, about 11 to 25 miles from Wesley Chapel in a straight line, Lutz has five, about 13 miles away, and Zephyrhills has two, about 7 to 8 miles away, along with other places nearby named above. Ask each Wesley Chapel practice, and any nearby practice you contact, whether your address is inside her service area.
