<p>CSV import</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Classification Commune des Actes Médicaux&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;CCAM&#039;&#039;&#039;) is a system used in [[France]] to classify medical procedures. It was introduced in 2005 by the [[French Ministry of Health]] to standardize the coding and billing of medical procedures across the country. The CCAM is updated regularly to reflect changes in medical practice and technology.<br /> <br /> == Overview ==<br /> <br /> The CCAM is a hierarchical system that classifies medical procedures based on their nature and complexity. Each procedure is assigned a unique code, which is used for billing and statistical purposes. The system covers all types of medical procedures, including [[surgery|surgical]], [[diagnostic]] and [[therapeutic]] procedures.<br /> <br /> The CCAM is divided into chapters, each of which corresponds to a specific area of medicine. For example, the chapter on [[cardiology]] includes codes for procedures such as [[angioplasty]] and [[cardiac catheterization]]. Each chapter is further divided into sections, which group together related procedures.<br /> <br /> == Use ==<br /> <br /> The CCAM is used by all healthcare providers in France, including [[hospital]]s, [[clinic]]s and private practices. It is also used by health insurance companies to determine reimbursement rates for medical procedures.<br /> <br /> The use of the CCAM helps to ensure that medical billing is transparent and standardized across the country. It also provides a valuable source of data for [[healthcare statistics]] and [[research]].<br /> <br /> == Updates and revisions ==<br /> <br /> The CCAM is updated regularly to reflect changes in medical practice and technology. These updates are carried out by the [[French National Authority for Health]], in consultation with medical professionals and health insurance companies.<br /> <br /> The latest version of the CCAM, as of 2021, includes over 8,000 codes for medical procedures.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[International Classification of Diseases]]<br /> * [[Current Procedural Terminology]]<br /> * [[Healthcare in France]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Healthcare in France]]<br /> [[Category:Medical classification]]<br /> [[Category:Medical billing]]<br /> <br /> {{medicine-stub}}</div>
