SIGTAP: what is it?
The SUS Procedures, Medications, Orthoses, Prostheses and Special Materials Management System Table (SIGTAP) is a management tool that allows you to access the SUS procedures table and monitor the changes made to each resource, detailing the characteristics, compatibility and list of procedures.
Contrary to what some people think, SITGAP is not a SUS table. SIGTAP is a virtual environment that allows access to SUS procedure tables, medications, orthoses/prostheses and special materials (OPM).
This is what makes the SUS audit possible.
How does SIGTAP work?
Through SIGTAP, people can understand the general features of a program such as financing type, registration tool, value, CBO, CID, service/rating, qualification, financial increment, complexity, etc.
Furthermore, various reports can be extracted from this tool, such as the relationship and compatibility between programs that guide hospital billing behavior.
Therefore, it is a tool that provides all the information necessary for SUS billing, as well as essential information for health audits.
However, a problem with this table is the lag in practice values that have not been readjusted in 17 years.
Do you have an organization table?
As we all know, the structure of the SUS program table is as follows: group, subgroup and form of organization.
The SUS program table is organized into groups, subgroups and organizational forms.
According to Datasus, the group aggregates procedures, medicines and OPMs according to the area of activity and the objective of the action.
The group is closed according to the type of area of activity, and the organizational form considers the atomic area, specialty, type of OPM, type of exam and type of operation.
Therefore, when searching for procedures, medications or OPMs, they will be organized into their respective groups, subgroups and other organizational forms.
On the other hand, coding follows its organization, and each group, subgroup and organization has a specific identification code.
Additionally, the last digit corresponds to the serial number on the organization's form and the last digit is the check digit.
Is it possible to download?
The system has an online version, which can be accessed online via an Internet connection, and a desktop version, which allows you to work without network access.
To access the online version, visit the SIGTAP website on DATASUS:
http://sigtap.datasus.gov.br and click on “Access Unified Table”.
