# CCAM

> Classification commune des actes médicaux. The standard for medical procedure coding in France

The French procedure classification, maintained by the ATIH and CNAM. Required for both inpatient PMSI coding and ambulatory physician billing alongside [CIM-10-FR](/coding/cim-10-fr). 8,554 codes using seven-character alphanumeric identifiers (four letters followed by three digits, e.g., `AAFA001`). No encounter-type suffix required.

## Quick start

System identifier: `ccam`
