I have an ice machine on a counter in a hospital. cord and plug connected. sink is 4ft away. its on a 30a breaker and plugged into a single receptacle by itself. is gfci required
 
if the receptacle is 15 or 20 amp 120 volt - GFCI protection is required for the receptacle.

If you have such receptacle on a 30 amp breaker - you have other code issues.

If you have a 30 amp receptacle it doesn't need GFCI - in 2014 NEC anyway.

My question is, the GFCI required protection for a 30A as described herein, what article can you find this requirement in?
I'm just trying to save some time fumbling through the code to research.

All single-phase receptacles rated 150 volts to ground or less, 50 amperes or less and three phase receptacles rated 150 volts to ground or less, 100 amperes or less installed in the following locations shall have ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection for personnel. ...
