Hospitals Near Medina
These nearby facilities come from our public hospital dataset. Their presence here does not establish a transfer arrangement with any listed midwife. Ask each practice to explain its current transfer plan and receiving facilities.
Midwife Licensing in Ohio
Ohio licenses Certified Nurse-Midwives through the Ohio Board of Nursing, and the CNM is the only midwife credential the state licenses. Ohio CNMs practice under a standard care arrangement with a collaborating physician, which limits how many attend home births. CPMs are not licensed in Ohio; licensure bills introduced in 2025 had not passed as of early 2026, so a CPM practicing here holds no state credential. Verify a CNM's license at elicense.ohio.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.

How much does a home birth midwife cost in Medina?
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 Ohio?
Ohio Medicaid covers CNM services but publishes no home-birth-specific payment policy. Confirm coverage with your managed care plan before planning. Confirm current benefits and participating providers with the specific plan because coverage can differ by plan and provider credential.
Does every listed Medina 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 Medina 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 Ohio?
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.
