Cultural Tip

CPT is an American coding system; in Italy the national system is called 'CCM' (Classificazione dei Costi Medici). When speaking with Italian health‑care professionals, you may need to clarify that you are referring to the US CPT system, or you might translate the procedure into the local CCM code instead.
