Midwives listed in West Palm Beach

Amy Elizabeth Mckinnell, Jennifer M Roberts and Rosalia Cannava are Licensed Midwives.

Confirm a current Florida licensed midwife license at flhealthsource.gov before you hire. You can also get a free midwife match or browse the Florida midwife directory.

Lake Worth has 4 listed midwives. Boca Raton and Stuart have 6 apiece, Royal Palm Beach, Delray Beach and Palm City have 2 apiece, and Boynton Beach, Jupiter, Coral Springs, North Lauderdale, Sunrise, Lauderdale Lakes and Jensen Beach have one apiece. Those towns all sit within about 40 miles of West Palm Beach, measured in a straight line. Ask each midwife whether she serves your part of the county.

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.

What a home birth costs in West Palm Beach

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. Ask each practice for a written quote. [2]

The home birth midwife cost guide has the national survey tables.

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 West Palm Beach 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 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 which hospital your midwife uses, and who goes with you if you transfer.

Hospitals with West Palm Beach addresses include Good Samaritan Medical Center at 1309 North Flagler Drive and St. Mary's Medical Center at 901 45th Street.

Questions to ask a midwife in West Palm Beach

When you call, these are the local questions worth asking:

  • Do you serve my address, including if I live toward Lake Worth, Boca Raton or Jupiter?
  • Which West Palm Beach hospital would we go to if we transfer, and have you worked with it?
  • Can I confirm a current Florida licensed midwife 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?

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. Ask each practice for a written quote.

Does Medicaid cover home birth in Florida?

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. 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 the midwife whether she is enrolled and accepting Medicaid clients.

How many midwife listings are in West Palm Beach?

West Palm Beach has 3 midwives based in the city, and 30 more practice within about 40 miles. Check each license at flhealthsource.gov or with the Florida Board of Nursing, and ask about availability for your due date.

Does every listed West Palm Beach midwife attend home births?

No. A listing does not tell you whether she currently attends home births, serves your address, holds a current license, or has an opening. Ask her directly, and check the license at flhealthsource.gov.

What should I confirm before contacting a West Palm Beach midwife?

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

How do I choose the best midwife in West Palm Beach, 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 Boca Raton or Stuart midwife listings close to West Palm Beach?

Yes. Boca Raton has 6 midwives about 22 miles from West Palm Beach in a straight line, and Stuart has 6, about 32 miles away, along with other Florida cities inside 40 miles named above. Ask each West Palm Beach midwife, and any nearby midwife you contact, whether your address is inside the service area.
