Certified Nurse-Midwife
Certified Nurse-Midwives are registered nurses
with a masters degree, and have education in two
disciplines, Nursing and Midwifery. CNMs are
board certified, independently licensed, and have
prescriptive authority in all 50 states. They
primarily work in clinics and hospitals, and in
addition to attending over 10 of the births in
Colorado, provide pregnancy and gynecological
care from puberty to menopause.
They are able to collect for insurance
reimbursement with private insurance, Medicare
and Medicaid. Certified Nurse-Midwives are
experts in understanding the normalcy of birth,
and recognizing potential complications early.
They collaborate with physicians if complications
arise. They care for women who desire either a
natural labor or a medicated labor (including
epidurals), and can first assist during a
cesarean section.
