RMV Psychiatric Evaluations for Fairhaven 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 Fairhaven. Villages and neighborhoods we serve include Sconticut Neck and Fort Phoenix area.
Fairhaven 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.
Fairhaven Across the Harbor from New Bedford
Fairhaven sits across the Acushnet River from New Bedford, and its OUI cases are heard at New Bedford District Court on North Sixth Street, which also serves Acushnet, Dartmouth, Freetown, New Bedford and Westport.
Local Courts and RMV Offices for Fairhaven Drivers
Form MAB118 is handled by RMV Medical Affairs, which reviews completed forms centrally rather than through a local office. A limited-service AAA RMV location is listed in Fairhaven, and the nearest full RMV Service Center listed is in New Bedford. Hearings for suspensions are held by phone.
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 health care provider 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.

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.
