Certified Nurse Midwives

Services provided by a certified nurse midwife (CNM) are covered and include those furnished during the maternity cycle - a period that includes pregnancy, labor, birth, and the immediate postpartum period, not to exceed 67 weeks.

There is no restriction on the place of service; therefore, CNM services are covered if provided in the CNM's office, in the member's home, or in a hospital or other facility, such as a clinic or birthing center owned and operated by the CNM.

Services provided outside the maternity cycle are also covered.
