Midwife Licensing in West Virginia
West Virginia licenses no direct-entry midwife credential. CNMs, licensed by the West Virginia Board of Examiners for Registered Professional Nurses as advanced practice registered nurses, are the state's only licensed midwifery pathway, and few attend home births. CPM licensure bills have been introduced repeatedly, including SB 189 in the 2026 session, without passing. Eastern Panhandle families often hire midwives licensed in Virginia, Maryland, or DC, all of which license CPMs, so verify licensure in the state where the birth will happen.
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 Morgantown?
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 West Virginia?
West Virginia Medicaid's practitioner manual lists delivery in the home among covered delivery services, and enrolled CNMs can bill for it. Very few WV CNMs attend home births and CPMs are not licensed in the state, so confirm Medicaid enrollment and home birth scope with each practice. Confirm current benefits and participating providers with the specific Medicaid plan.
Does every listed Morgantown 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 Morgantown 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 West 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 Morgantown, WV?
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. West Virginia licenses no direct-entry midwife credential. Verify each midwife's license before hiring. Our midwife interview guide lists questions to ask.
