Inmates to Have Physical Examination

Each inmate committed to a correctional facility for a term of 30 days or more shall receive a physical examination no later than 14 days after admission to said facility. However, an inmate entering a correctional facility who is accompanied by a medical record containing a record of a complete physical examination conducted less than 90 days prior to his or her admission need not be given a complete physical examination. Each such inmate not receiving a complete physical examination shall, however, be seen by a physician, or a physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner under the supervision of a physician who shall: (A) Review the inmate’s medical record; (B) Examine the inmate for any signs of trauma or disease which may have been incurred by the inmate after his most recent physical examination; (C) Conduct any examinations and tests which are medically indicated; (D) Review the findings and any required follow-up services with the inmate.
