RMV Psychiatric Evaluations for Chicopee Drivers
If RMV Medical Affairs has asked you to complete a Psychiatric Evaluation (Form MAB118), Greater Boston Psychiatric Services can complete it for adults in Chicopee. Villages and neighborhoods we serve include Chicopee Falls, Willimansett, Fairview and Aldenville.
Chicopee clients can meet with us by secure video from home, which means no drive to Medway. If you would rather meet face to face, our office is at 165 Main Street, Suite 111A, Medway, MA 02053.
Getting Your Evaluation Done from Chicopee
Chicopee lies where the Chicopee River meets the Connecticut River and is home to Westover Air Reserve Base and Elms College, with the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) and I-391 passing through. Because a video appointment needs only a device and a connection, residents of Chicopee can skip the drive and the parking and meet from home or work. If you received a Form MAB118 request from RMV Medical Affairs, the deadline on the notice is what we work against.
Local Courts and RMV Offices for Chicopee Drivers
Form MAB118 is handled by RMV Medical Affairs, which reviews completed forms centrally rather than through a local office. The nearest RMV Service Centers listed by the RMV include Springfield and Easthampton.
A Medical Affairs request is separate from any court case. You can be asked for this evaluation even if you have never been charged with anything.
What Is the RMV Psychiatric Evaluation (Form MAB118)?
RMV Medical Affairs requests a Psychiatric Evaluation (Form MAB118) when it has received a report, from a physician, family member or law enforcement official, suggesting that a driver may have a psychiatric or medical condition affecting their ability to drive safely. It is a different requirement from the substance abuse evaluation with risk of recidivism: it is not tied to an OUI or DUI case.
Massachusetts requires the form to be completed by a physician licensed in the state or a psychiatric nurse practitioner, which are the credential types on our clinical team.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the RMV substance abuse evaluation?
The substance abuse evaluation with risk of recidivism relates to OUI and DUI cases. Form MAB118 is requested by RMV Medical Affairs whenever it receives a report suggesting a psychiatric or medical condition may affect your ability to drive safely.
Who is allowed to complete Form MAB118?
Massachusetts requires the form to be completed by a physician licensed in Massachusetts or a psychiatric nurse practitioner, both credential types on our clinical team.
Do I have to travel from Chicopee for this evaluation?
No. Chicopee residents can complete the evaluation by secure video, or in person at our Medway office if you prefer.
Is a video evaluation accepted?
Yes. The clinical content and the completed form are the same whether you attend by video or in person at our Medway office.
How soon can I get an appointment?
In as little as 48 hours when your deadline is close. Expedited scheduling is available for an additional $225.
Impaired Driving Data for Chicopee
From 2021 to 2025, Chicopee had 8,598 reported crashes. 272 were flagged for suspected alcohol, 71 for suspected drug use, and 34 were fatal.
Data come from the MassDOT IMPACT Crash Data Portal (accessed October 2026). Suspected alcohol and drug flags depend on what was recorded at the scene, so they probably understate impaired driving, and crashes are not the same as OUI charges.
A Form MAB118 evaluation is usually prompted by a report that a driver may have a condition affecting safe driving. Our article, Recidivism, Mental Health and RMV Evaluations in Massachusetts, explains the RMV process and what the research says about depression. See also the conditions we treat.
