To SCHEDULE a BIP Assessment, please read carefully -
The OVM BIP Program is certified through the Kansas Attorney General’s Office to provide BIP Assessment and BIP Programming. OVM BIP provides assessment for individuals who are court ordered to complete a BIP Assessment.
Verify that we can provide you with services:
✔ Have you been before a judge? Were you ordered to complete a BIP Assessment?
✔ Do you have a diversion officer, probation officer or parole officer? OVM will do your assessment IF you are on supervision.
*If you are on parole with KDOC, please select a Wednesday assessment date.
✔ Can you make payment? OVM will do your assessment if the assessment fee is paid in full before your assessment takes place.
**Currently all assessments take place via RingCentral video call. You will need to plan for up to two hours in an uninterrupted space with your device. A weekday appointment can take place on OVM equipment in a private OVM office with staff assistance.
