To write your insurance company and request coverage of midwifery services

Nurse-midwives throughout the country are experiencing a crisis regarding their inability to pay for the rising cost of liability insurance. This soaring of insurance rates has forced many health care providers to drastically reduce their patient flow and to even leave the state to find better insurance rates. As a result, women are not getting the health care services that are essential to their well-being.

Write to a State Legistator or Governor and Speak Out for Midwifery!

Don't let rising insurance rates control access to health care for women like you, who need and deserve it. Please take a moment to stand up for yourself and for those who provide you with quality health care choices.
