What Texas licenses

Texas licenses licensed midwives through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, under Occupations Code Chapter 203, with rules at 16 TAC Chapter 115 [1]. Certified nurse-midwives are licensed by the Texas Board of Nursing [1]. The national certified professional midwife credential alone is not the Texas license; Texas law requires the state licensed-midwife license for non-nurse midwives [1]. Verify an LM license with TDLR and a CNM license with the Board of Nursing before you hire [1]. Our Texas midwife guide has the state-level sources.

What a home birth costs in Lubbock

Ask each Lubbock practice for a written quote. A 2021 national survey of 129 U.S. practices found an average package fee of $4,650, a median of $4,400, and a range of $2,000 to $9,921 [2].

National figures, and what they do and do not include, are on the home birth midwife cost page.

Texas Medicaid and home birth

Ask your Texas 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 Texas Medicaid Provider Procedures Manual says licensed midwives will not be reimbursed for home deliveries, that home deliveries will not be prior authorized to a licensed midwife, and that home deliveries and home-delivery supplies require a written prior authorization request during the client's third trimester, including a statement signed by a licensed physician who examined the client during the third trimester and determined the client is not at high risk for complications and is suitable for a home delivery [3]. Ask your plan and the midwife to confirm how that applies to you. Our Texas Medicaid home birth page has the state-specific sources.

Hospitals nearby

Ask each midwife which hospital she uses for transfer, whether she has a working relationship with it, and who goes with you. A hospital being near you does not answer those questions on its own.

Hospitals with Lubbock addresses include University Medical Center at 602 Indiana Avenue.

Does Medicaid cover home birth in Texas?

The Texas Medicaid Provider Procedures Manual says licensed midwives will not be reimbursed for home deliveries, that home deliveries will not be prior authorized to a licensed midwife, and that home deliveries and home-delivery supplies require a written prior authorization request during the client's third trimester, including a statement signed by a licensed physician who examined the client during the third trimester and determined the client is not at high risk for complications and is suitable for a home delivery. Ask your plan and the midwife to confirm how that applies to you.

Does every listed Lubbock midwife attend home births?

Not automatically. This page lists two Lubbock midwives. Call each one to confirm that she attends home births at your address and is available.

What should I confirm before contacting a Lubbock midwife?

Confirm current credentials, whether she attends home births in Lubbock, fees, insurance, and availability.

What does a claimed profile tell me?

A claimed profile is information the midwife added. Check fees, insurance and availability with her directly.

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

Texas requires a state licensed-midwife license for non-nurse midwives, issued by TDLR. Certified nurse-midwives are licensed by the Board of Nursing. Confirm each midwife's current credential and setting.

How do I choose the best midwife in Lubbock, TX?

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. Texas licenses non-nurse midwives as Licensed Midwives through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation under Occupations Code Chapter 203, with rules at 16 TAC Chapter 115. Verify each midwife's license before hiring. Our midwife interview guide lists questions to ask.
