Midwife Licensing in Virginia
Virginia licenses Certified Professional Midwives as licensed midwives through the Board of Medicine, and has done so since December 2005. A licensed Virginia midwife must hold current NARM CPM certification and maintain it to renew. State law authorizes licensed midwives to obtain, possess, and administer drugs and devices within their scope, and requires them to disclose evidence-based information on the risks of birth outside a hospital. CNMs are licensed by the Virginia Board of Nursing; verify either license at dhp.virginia.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 Suffolk?
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 Virginia?
Virginia Medicaid covers CNM home birth through Cardinal Care plans and reimburses licensed midwives (CPMs) through fee-for-service, at parity rates since July 2025. Members usually must move from managed care to fee-for-service to use a licensed midwife, so confirm the steps with Cover Virginia and the midwife's Medicaid enrollment before hiring. Confirm current benefits and participating providers with the specific Medicaid plan.
Does every listed Suffolk 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 Suffolk 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 Virginia?
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.
How do I choose the best midwife in Suffolk, VA?
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. Virginia licenses Certified Professional Midwives as licensed midwives through the Board of Medicine, and has done so since December 2005. Verify each midwife's license before hiring.
