The UNOCAM gathers the three principal existing structures concerning the complementary ones to health: FNMF, FFSA and the CTIP (center of technique of the institutes of precaution).

The purpose of its creation is to allow the participation of the complementary insurances the management of the refunding of the care through a regular dialog with UNCAM. The objective is to allow a better coordination between complementary refunding primary educations and refundings and to support the development of the good practices.

Thus, the UNOCAM is brought to negotiate with the health professionals and to define the perimeter of the goods and services refundable. It is associated with the UNCAM during the conventional negotiations between the modes of insurance and the health professionals and takes part in the decisions concerning new the drug, their price and their rate of refunding. It is member of the economic committee of the health products.

The UNOCAM is equipped with a council of 33 members made up representatives of the existing structures (17 of the FNMF, 8 of the FFSA and 7 of the CTIP). However this council does not gather less important representatives of organization like the FNIM (interprofessional national federation of the mutual insurance companies) or GEMMATED it (grouping of the mutual insurance companies). The FNIM complained about this setting to the variation and deposited a recourse in front of the Council of State.
