What to Expect & Cost

Prenatal visits with Lara Dickinson, CNM tend to run longer than a typical OB appointment — often 30–60 minutes — with more time for questions, education, and shared decision-making. Care may take place in a hospital, birth center, or home depending on the practice. With a certified nurse midwife focus, expect care geared toward that area.

Most insurance plans cover care from a Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM), frequently at the same level as physician maternity care. Costs for birth-center or home birth with a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) vary widely and may be partly out-of-pocket — global maternity fees commonly range from $3,000–$9,000 depending on setting and region.

These are general ranges, not Lara Dickinson, CNM's published prices. Confirm fees and coverage directly with the practice.

Before Your First Visit

  • Confirm the credential typeCNM and CM are nationally certified; CPM credentialing and scope vary by state.
  • Ask about birth setting — hospital, birth center, or home, and what happens if a transfer becomes necessary.
  • Check collaborative care — ask which physician or hospital the midwife works with for higher-risk situations.
  • Verify insurance coverage — confirm the midwife and planned birth setting are covered by your plan.
  • Bring your health history — prior pregnancies and any conditions help shape a safe care plan from the start.
