Police say Hernandez was taken to Bellevue Hospital early Friday to also get medication for an existing health problem.
While he was there, psychologists questioned him about his mental state. Police wouldn't disclose the health condition.
Hernandez is scheduled to be arraigned Friday in Etan's presumed 1979 slaying. The boy vanished from his school bus stop in lower Manhattan.
Police say Hernandez has confessed to killing the child.
Friday marks the 33rd anniversary of his disappearance. The date was long ago dedicated as National Missing Children's Day.
