Section 205.101 - 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.

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.
