Spending on outpatient care rose by 3.3% year-on-year, and reimbursements for general practitioners by 0.5%. This increase is due in particular to the increase in consultation fees in November 2023. Dental care reimbursements fell by 7.8%, due to the increase in co-payments in October 2023.
Reimbursements for medical biology analyses fell by 6.8%. This decline can be explained in part by the doubling of flat-rate co-payments and the drop in test expenditure linked to Covid-19. Transport reimbursements, on the other hand, rose by 4.1%, boosted by the November 2023 tariff increases. Drug reimbursements, which had slowed following the doubling of the medical deductible last May, rose by 2.8%, as did daily allowances, up 6.6%. Lastly, over the last twelve months, payments to healthcare establishments rose by 5.8% and 4.4% respectively for public and private establishments.
