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]. Look a midwife up 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 San Juan

Ask each practice for a written quote, and compare what the fee includes. Nationally, a 2021 survey of 129 U.S. practices found an average of $4,650, a median of $4,400, and fees from $2,000 to $9,921 [2]. The home birth midwife cost guide has the national survey tables.

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.

Hospitals nearby

A hospital being near you does not mean a given midwife transfers there. Ask each midwife which hospital she uses and who goes with you if you transfer.

Nearby hospitals include Rio Grande Regional Hospital at 101 East Ridge Road, in McAllen.

Questions to ask a midwife in San Juan

When you call, these are the questions that matter most in San Juan:

  • Ask whether she serves your San Juan area, including if you live toward Pharr, Alamo or McAllen.
  • Ask which hospital she uses if you transfer, and whether she has worked with Rio Grande Regional Hospital in McAllen.
  • Ask her to confirm a current TDLR midwife license or Board of Nursing license, and check it with the board that issues it.
  • If you use Texas Medicaid, ask in writing whether the plan pays for a planned home birth with her credential, and ask her whether she is enrolled and accepting Medicaid clients.
  • Ask for a written fee quote that lists what is included, and whether she has room around your due date.

No. A listing does not tell you whether she currently attends home births, serves your area, holds a current license, or has an opening. Ask her those questions directly.

What should I confirm before contacting a San Juan midwife?

Confirm a TDLR midwife license or a Board of Nursing license before you hire, and ask about home birth services, whether she serves your San Juan area, fees, insurance, and availability around your due date.

How do I choose the best midwife in San Juan, 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.
