standard/basic reimbursement rate for state-funded medical services

Thus, you have "standard reimbursement rate for state-funded medical services."

maybe "reference rate"

You are probably right, it must refer to "tarif conventionné", ie the standard reference rate covered by the French public health system with approved professionnals and health care institutions. This is also used as a reference by private (so called "complémentaires") insurance companies to set the percentage they cover.
Sorry I can't help with the wording.
