What is CCI? The Canadian Classification of Health Interventions, referred to as CCI, was developed by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). It is a comprehensive list of codes for diagnostic, therapeutic, and support interventions.
Where Can I Get a Complete List of CCI Codes? Visit the CIHI website for more information: http://secure.cihi.ca/cihiweb/dispPage.jsp?cw_page=codingclass_e A downloadable PDF is available on this website that will allow you to learn more about using CCI codes. Providers and software vendors can purchase products and publications related to coding directly from CIHI at www.cihi.ca, including: ICD-10-CA/CCI, 2006 (CD-ROM – Single user)
o This product is similar to CD-ROM encyclopaedias. The infobase automatically indexes every word and users may find information quickly using the software’s search engine.
Code Title Tables 2006 (for use with ICD-10-CA/CCI) o The code title tables include all the valid diagnosis and intervention codes and
their descriptions.
CCI and HCAI HCAI will only recognize valid CCI codes. In many cases it will be important for users of HCAI to learn how to use the HCAI search code utility to locate valid CCI codes. Without valid CCI codes, HCAI users will be unable to submit forms to automobile insurers.
What is a “Healthcare intervention”?
Therapeutic Intervention A service performed for or on behalf of a client whose basic purpose is to improve health, alter the course of a disease or health condition, or to promote wellness. While a therapeutic intervention may contain a diagnostic component, the primary intent of the intervention is to alleviate or treat the underlying disease or health condition.
Diagnostic Intervention A service performed for or on behalf of a client whose basic purpose is to assess the presence, absence or status of a disease process or health condition.
Other Intervention Any other service that cannot be described as obstetrical (fetal), therapeutic or diagnostic but, nevertheless, contributes directly to improve a client's health, alters the course of a health condition or promotes wellness. One of the key features of the classification is its provider and setting neutrality. The same codes are applicable regardless of whether a doctor, a nurse or a therapist performs the interventions, or whether the intervention is performed in a hospital, a clinic, a doctor’s office or in the home. The list in Appendix B represents a sub-set of CCI. The complete list of intervention codes used in Canada is available from CIHI. CCI is a copyright product of CIHI and may not be changed without their express permission. Providers should contact their associations for guidance with coding. For the purposes of the Automobile Insurance Standard Invoice (AISI), a number of non-CCI codes were developed in consultation with CIHI to complement the existing set of CCI codes. These AISI specific codes are noted with an asterisk (*) and are not part of CCI.

Approach/Technique/Reason (position 6-7) The Technique or Reason code indicates how or why the intervention was done. Generally, this level of detail is not required for automobile insurers. Exceptions include the following:

Attributes In addition to the CCI code, healthcare services can be further specified with Attribute codes. These codes are used to indicate how the service was delivered or the number of views in an X-ray study. The absence of attribute codes means that a service was rendered directly (“in person”), to one individual by an individual provider, and required continuous attendance. Any exceptions to this must include the valid attribute code. Refer to tables below to determine which attribute codes apply to specific interventions. For Section 1 only, the following additional Attribute codes apply:

For Section 1, 6, and 7, the following Attribute codes apply:
Code Description IN Indirect (e.g. telephone) SD Self-directed (e.g. using tapes, videos) IM Individual with more than one provider GR Group with one provider GS Group with more than one provider
