Texas Medicaid
A CNM must be licensed as a registered nurse and as an advanced practice registered nurse by the Texas Board of Nursing, and be authorized to practice as a nurse-midwife.
The Medicaid enrollment application must include the Physician's Letter of Agreement affirming the CNM's supervising physician arrangement.
Enrollment in Texas Medicaid comes before any Medicaid managed care plan can enroll you; each plan then contracts and credentials separately.
