Upon accepting a person for voluntary inpatient examination or treatment, the facility must provide or arrange for a physical examination immediately (unless one was already conducted during the preliminary evaluation). A preliminary treatment plan based on that examination may be used initially but must be revised at the earliest opportunity in accordance with the treatment plan content requirements. This section governs inpatient psychiatric facilities operating under Pennsylvania's Mental Health Procedures Act framework.
