We’re here to help you get back on the road with confidence. A Mary Free Bed driver pre-evaluation offers a comprehensive driving assessment for adults 18 and older.
Mary Free Bed occupational therapists are compassionate partners on the journey back to safe driving. In this 60-minute, comprehensive evaluation, we’ll assess driving essentials – including vision, cognitive, and physical skills –to ensure you’re road-ready.

About the Program
What is the cost?
Driver readiness screenings are covered by insurance as an occupational therapy evaluation.
Any on-road evaluation and training that might be recommended following this evaluation would be an out-of-pocket expense. If needed, your Mary Free Bed therapist can help provide recommendations on organizations who provide the on-road evaluation.
Assessment & Recommendations
Your referring physician will receive your evaluation report. This report will provide a risk level (low, medium, or high risk) of a potential vehicle accident based on your scores and abilities.
Depending on your assessed level of risk, we may recommend a formal on-road driver evaluation. These types of on-road assessments are not provided by Mary Free Bed.
How do I request a referral?
Request a referral from your PCP or any other physician who is a part of your care.
