These are the care reimbursements city that have particularly increased (+4%). Thus, care paramedics recorded an increase of 8.2% in first quarter 2010 against 7% over the last twelve months.
Per diems are also strong growth: + 6.1% in the first quarter of 2010 against 4.8% in the last 12 months. Strong growth “due to payments associated with the epidemic of influenza A at the end of 2009” reads the study of the CNAM.
