What Texas licenses
Texas licenses licensed midwives through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, under Occupations Code Chapter 203 [1]. Certified nurse-midwives are licensed by the Texas Board of Nursing [1]. The national CPM credential alone is not the Texas license [1]. Verify a licensed midwife with TDLR, or a certified nurse-midwife with the Board of Nursing, before you hire [1]. Our Texas midwife guide has the state-level sources.
What a home birth costs in Mansfield

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, and that home deliveries will not be prior authorized to a licensed midwife [3]. Home deliveries and home-delivery supplies require a written prior authorization request during the client's third trimester. That request includes 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]. Texas Medicaid reimburses a licensed midwife for specified prenatal, labor and delivery, immediate postpartum and newborn services only when the service is provided in a freestanding birthing center licensed under Health and Safety Code Chapter 244 and approved by HHSC, and the midwife is enrolled in Medicaid [4]. Ask your plan and the midwife to confirm how that applies to you. Our Texas Medicaid home birth page has the state-specific sources.
