RMV Psychiatric Evaluations for Lawrence Drivers
Received a Form MAB118 request from RMV Medical Affairs? We complete RMV Psychiatric Evaluations for Lawrence drivers, including those in Tower Hill, Prospect Hill, Mount Vernon, the Arlington District, South Lawrence and Downtown.
Most Lawrence clients complete their evaluation by secure video from home or work. If you'd rather meet face to face, our office is at 165 Main Street, Suite 111A, Medway, MA 02053.
Local Courts and RMV Offices for Lawrence Drivers
Form MAB118 is handled by RMV Medical Affairs, which reviews completed forms centrally rather than through a local office. The Lawrence RMV Service Center is right in the city, with the Haverhill and Lowell service centers nearby.
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, and it can be requested whenever Medical Affairs has a safety concern about a driver's mental health.
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.
How the Process Works
Check your notice. RMV Medical Affairs sends Form MAB118 directly and states that a completed evaluation is required.
Complete the quick form. Include any deadline on your notice and your attorney's name if you have one.
Meet with your clinician. By secure video, or in person at our Medway office.
We submit the completed form directly to RMV Medical Affairs, consistent with the RMV's own process.
Turnaround: in as little as 48 hours when your deadline is close. Tell us your date and we'll prioritize accordingly.
What the Evaluation Assesses
The specific condition or concern named in the RMV's request
Current symptoms and how they may affect safe driving
Relevant treatment history and current treatment status
Current medications and how they affect alertness and judgment
A clinical judgment on fitness to operate a motor vehicle, per the form's requirements
How to Prepare
Have your RMV Medical Affairs letter and the MAB118 form on hand.
Gather any recent treatment records or a list of your current medications.
For a video appointment, find a private space with a stable internet connection and a device with a camera.
Answer openly. The evaluation is only as useful as the information it is based on.
Because our clinical team includes multiple board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists, we can often offer earlier appointments than a practice that depends on a single provider's schedule.
After Your Evaluation
We submit the completed form directly to RMV Medical Affairs, so you won't need to forward anything yourself. Medical Affairs then reviews it as part of its own determination about your driving privileges. Processing time on the RMV's end is outside our control, so schedule with enough runway before any deadline.
Pricing
RMV Psychiatric Evaluation (Form MAB118): $450
Psychiatric Evaluation + Substance Abuse Evaluation: $525

Payment
This evaluation is self-pay only. RMV-required evaluations are a legal requirement rather than medical treatment, so we are not able to bill insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. Payment is collected at the time of your appointment. See our Good Faith Estimate.
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, not necessarily related to alcohol or drugs, 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 Lawrence for this evaluation?
No. Lawrence residents can complete the evaluation by secure video, or in person at our Medway office if you prefer.
How do I know if I need this instead of a substance abuse evaluation?
Check your RMV notice; it names the form or evaluation required. OUI-related cases usually call for the substance abuse evaluation with risk of recidivism. If you're not sure, send us your notice and we'll confirm before you book.
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.
Can I request a copy of the completed form?
Yes. You can request a copy for your records; the original is still submitted directly to RMV Medical Affairs as required.
What if RMV Medical Affairs has follow-up questions?
Medical Affairs may follow up with you directly or request more information. We're glad to complete a follow-up evaluation if one is requested.
Will you work with my attorney?
Yes. List your attorney on the intake form and we'll coordinate dates and documents.
Is this evaluation confidential?
Your evaluation follows standard clinical confidentiality practices, with the exception of the completed form we are required to submit to RMV Medical Affairs.
