RMV Evaluations with Kristen Baker

Kristen completes RMV-required evaluations for adults by secure video or in person at our Medway office. That includes the RMV Substance Abuse Evaluation with Risk of Recidivism required after an OUI, DUI, Immediate Threat or ignition interlock case, and the RMV Psychiatric Evaluation (Form MAB118) requested by RMV Medical Affairs.

Massachusetts requires Form MAB118 to be completed by a licensed physician or a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Kristen is a board-certified adult psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, so she holds a credential type Massachusetts accepts for that form. Her more than 20 years in mental health care, including years at McLean Hospital, inform the history-taking, treatment review and clinical opinion at the center of every RMV evaluation.

Our RMV evaluations are approved by the Massachusetts RMV and can be completed in as little as 48 hours when a hearing or deadline is close. Results are reported directly to the RMV, and we coordinate dates and documents with your attorney. RMV evaluations are self-pay.
