Midwife Licensing in Indiana
Indiana licenses non-nurse midwives as Certified Direct Entry Midwives through the Indiana Medical Licensing Board under IC 25-23.4. A CDEM holds the NARM CPM credential plus Indiana licensure, and state law requires a written collaborating agreement with a licensed physician who examines the client once in the first trimester and once in the third. CNMs are licensed by the Indiana State Board of Nursing. Verify either license at mylicense.in.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.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a home birth midwife cost in Rockville?
Our national sample ranges from $2,000 to $9,921, but local fees and included services vary. Request a current written quote from each practice.
Does Medicaid cover home birth in Indiana?
Medicaid must cover care from certified nurse-midwives in every state. Whether Indiana Medicaid pays for a birth at home depends on your plan. Ask your plan, in writing, whether it pays for a planned home birth, which credentials it enrolls, and whether prior authorization is required.
Does every listed Rockville 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 Rockville 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 Indiana?
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.
