FORT WASHINGTON, Pennsylvania (February, 2026) – Nurses Service Organization (NSO), one of the nation’s largest provider of individual professional liability insurance for nurses, and their carrier partner, CNA, today have launched a malpractice insurance offering for Certified Midwives (CMs) and Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs). The new coverage is designed to help safeguard midwives’ licenses, assets and livelihoods as they navigate the complex clinical and professional risks associated with their practice.
“Certified Midwives and Certified Nurse Midwives face unique professional exposures given the nature of the care they provide,” said David Griffiths, Aon Affinity Healthcare President. “This offering reflects NSO’s long-standing commitment to offering coverage designed for the real-world risks nurses face and rounds out our offerings in the Advanced Practice Provider space.”
The NSO midwife professional liability policy offers coverage for Certified Midwives and Certified Nurse Midwives for prenatal, postnatal and gynecological services in hospital or clinical environments, as well as labor and delivery services in hospital settings. NSO’s policy is designed to be a standalone policy solution or complement employer-provided insurance, which may not fully protect individual practitioners or include license defense coverage.
