Midwife Licensing in Idaho
Idaho licenses CPM-credentialed midwives as Licensed Midwives under the Midwifery Practice Act, Idaho Code Title 54, Chapter 55. Effective July 1, 2024, the Board of Midwifery was consolidated into the Board of Nursing, and the program is administered by the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses. Idaho law defines the drugs a licensed midwife may obtain and administer, including IV fluids and anti-hemorrhage medications, and sets the conditions requiring transfer. CNMs are licensed by the Idaho Board of Nursing; verify either credential at dopl.idaho.gov.
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.

Confirm current credentials, home birth services, geographic service area, availability, fees, insurance policies, and contact information.
What does a claimed profile tell me?

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