Effective 4/2/26, in accordance with HCSC’s coding policies and guidelines, the Arcadia 360 and Arcadia HMR have been updated to account for the required documentation of specified medications within the treatment plan of active conditions.
- Arcadia 360: upon selecting Active Condition in the 360, a “notes” field will appear. It will be required in addition to the one word treatment plan.
- If an end user selects “Medication” as the treatment plan, the notes field should be used to document the specific medication being used as treatment for that specific condition.
- If an end user selects any other option as the treatment plan, the notes field should be used to provide more MEAT criteria to substantiate the condition being actively treated.
- Arcadia HMR: the medication should be written in along with the selected treatment plan at the condition level. Instructions have been added to the HMR footer indicating this change beginning with the April run of the HMRs.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your HealthSpring Coding Educator for additional information and instruction. POET has reached out for this information.
