Certified Nurse Midwife questions, answered
Is a CNM the same as a doula?+
No. CNMs are licensed clinicians who deliver babies and provide medical care. Doulas offer non-clinical labor support.
Can a CNM deliver a baby in a hospital?+
Yes. Most U.S. births attended by CNMs occur in hospitals, with full medical backup available.
Does insurance cover a CNM?+
Most private insurance and Medicaid plans cover CNM-attended care; check the individual CNM's profile for accepted plans.
What is the difference between a CNM and a CPM?+
CNMs are nurses with graduate degrees; Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) have a different, non-nursing credentialing path.
