Service mix is dominated by emergency ambulance transports: the provider’s billing profile is primarily advanced life support and basic life support emergency transports, with A0427 and A0429 the obvious operational core. Both Medicare and Medicaid top-line revenues are driven by these transport codes, indicating an operation focused on high-volume emergency ground transport rather than elective or non-transport services.
Medicare revenue is highly concentrated in just a few codes: the top three Medicare codes account for 98.7% of the provider’s total Medicare revenue, led by A0427 ($4.6M, 72.8%) and A0429 ($1.2M, 19.7%), with A0425 contributing $392.3K (6.2%). This concentration means the provider’s Medicare performance is essentially tied to volume and reimbursement for a very narrow set of ground-ambulance services.
Medicaid revenue shows the same narrow dependence: the top three Medicaid codes account for 98.9% of total Medicaid revenue, with A0427 at $24.7M (61.6%), A0429 at $13.3M (33.1%), and A0425 at $1.7M (4.3%). Medicaid is the dominant payer by scale for this provider and the bulk of operating cashflow appears to come from those two transport codes.
The provider’s payer mix is effectively Medicaid-dominant: total Medicaid revenue is $40M compared with total Medicare revenue of $6.3M, so Medicaid accounts for the vast majority of reported lifetime public-payer receipts. That skew implies contracting, utilization management, and reimbursement changes in Medicaid will materially affect the business more than Medicare shifts.
For Medicare competitive standing, A0427 is an extreme national outlier (rank #39 of 6841, 99th percentile), and A0429 also ranks very high nationally (rank #100 of 7808, 99th percentile, described as notably above typical national volume). By contrast A0425 (ground mileage) sits at a more typical national volume position (rank #337 of 8934, 96th percentile). These ranks indicate the provider is a major national outlier for advanced life-support emergency transports under Medicare, not a modest participant.
Within California Medicaid, the provider is a top-tier performer on the same transport lines: A0427 ranks #9 of 248 in-state (97th percentile) and A0429 ranks #9 of 386 in-state (98th percentile), both described as notably above typical state volume. A0425 and A0424 show high in-state ranks but contribute much smaller shares of revenue (A0425 $1.7M, 4.3%; A0424 $293.9K, 0.7%), implying statewide dominance in emergency transport volumes but more typical activity for ancillary mileage and attendant codes.
The NPI was enumerated on 2007-02-14 (~19 years ago), indicating long tenure in the public-payer system. That longevity, combined with outsized ranks for core transport codes, suggests an established ambulance operator with sustained high volumes on emergency ALS/BLS services over many years.
Ancillary and non-transport codes contribute negligible revenue relative to the transport lines: examples include 93005 ($48.7K, 0.1% of Medicaid revenue) and A0999 ($21.7K, 0.1% of Medicaid revenue), both described as typical, unremarkable volumes in-state. Operationally this reinforces that nearly all clinical and billing activity generating public-payer revenue is concentrated in emergency ground-transport codes rather than in ancillary monitoring or supply billing.
