Medicaid does not pay the fees of Registered Midwives in Colorado. However, if you are using a midwife, Medicaid will still cover any labwork and sonograms that are done while you are under my care. They will also cover you and your baby for any other medical needs should they become necessary. So if you need to see a doctor at any time while you are under my care, or if there is a transport to the hospital, Medicaid will cover these additional expenses.

However, if you have not already been Medicaid approved, you may qualify for a state program called CHP+ Prenatal care, and I am a provider for CHP + Prenatal.  Check out the link below to see if you might qualify:

From time to time I have one or two midwifery students who are qualified to act as  Provisional Midwives under my supervision.  Because they need the experience of caring for their “own” clients, and because I desire to help make midwifery a little more affordable to those who need and deserve midwifery care, if you have proof of Medicaid or can prove financial hardship, you may choose to use a Provisional Midwife as your primary midwife for a reduced fee.  Note:  Provisional Midwives are always fully supervised by me.
