> rarely are they (or their services) considered acceptable for insurance purposes. Only those who have independant means can afford to pay for a midwife- and then the expenses are out of pocket.. insurance companies, (and hospitals) don't consider them 'health professional' and you can not submit claims to pay for their services.
