Why am I on Medical Review?
The Medical Review Services (MRS) team places Virginia drivers on medical review based on medical conditions, medications, and/or events that could impair their ability to safely operate a motor vehicle, even temporarily. Most outcomes require drivers to comply with certain requirements or periodically submit updated medical information to the MRS Team. See possible outcomes below for more information.
