Caisse Nationale de l' Assurance Maladie des Travailleurs Salariès(CNAMTS)
CNAMTS is a national government institution with an administrative brief, and is in charge of 250 health insurance providers. It is responsible for the administration of their funding in two distinct parts; firstly, health, maternity, incapacity and death benefits insurance; and secondly, industrial accidents and occupational health insurance.
With coverage of 85% of the French population CNAMTS is the main public health insurer in France and one of the largest in Europe.
Following the implementation of the 2004 healthcare reform, CNAMTS created a new dedicated team in 2005 to deter and fight fraud and corruption in healthcare. New financial sanctions have been set up. CNAMTS expect these new measures to save €100 million in 2006.
CNAMTS joined the Network in 2005, in order to share experiences, practices and training dealing with specific counter fraud and corruption issues in healthcare.
