with or pursuant to any group sickness and accident insurance policy delivered, issued,

renewed, or used, in or outside this state, on or after January 1, 1985, and notwithstanding

any provision of any policy of insurance delivered, issued for delivery, renewed,

or used, in or outside this state, on or after January 1, 1985, whenever the policy

or certificate is subject to the jurisdiction of this state and provides for reimbursement

for any service that may be legally performed by an advanced practice registered nurse

who holds a current, valid license issued under Chapter 4723. of the Revised Code

and is designated as a certified nurse-midwife in accordance with section 4723.42 of the Revised Code , reimbursement under the policy or certificate shall not be denied to a certified

nurse-midwife performing the service in collaboration with a licensed physician.  The collaborating physician shall be identified on an insurance claim form. The cost of collaboration with a certified nurse-midwife by a licensed physician as

required under section 4723.43 of the Revised Code is a reimbursable expense. The division of any reimbursement payment for services performed by a certified nurse-midwife

between the certified nurse-midwife and the certified nurse-midwife's collaborating

physician shall be determined and mutually agreed upon by the certified nurse-midwife

and the physician.  The division of fees shall not be considered a violation of division (B)(17) of section 4731.22 of the Revised Code .  In no case shall the total fees charged exceed the fee the physician would have

charged had the physician provided the entire service.
