This requirement is practically a universal mandate everywhere by the JCAHO (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organization) and the HCFA (Health Care Financing Administration). Repeated noncompliance with this requirement may lead to citation or worse, loss of hospital accreditation and funding from Medicaid/Medicare.

> Physical examinations are required by law upon admission to some psychiatric hospitals. Kentucky, for example, requires a physical examination within seven days before or 24 hours after admission to a psychiatric hospital.
