LIFELINE AMBULANCE SERVICE INC is a long-established ambulance operator — its NPI was enumerated on 2005-05-27 (~21 years ago) — and its billing footprint is dominated by high-volume basic life support non-emergency transports, specialty/unlisted services, and mileage-based claims across payers. The top Medicare and Medicaid codes (A0428, A0429, A0425 and A0999) point to a business model centered on ground ambulance BLS non-emergency work with supplemental revenue from emergency BLS, mileage, and unlisted/specialty transports.
The provider’s payer mix is heavily skewed toward Medicaid in scale: total Medicare revenue is $5.4M while total Medicaid revenue is $42.5M, indicating Medicaid accounts for the majority of lifetime revenue and operational volume. This makes the organization effectively Medicaid-dominant rather than equally balanced between the two public payers.
Revenue concentration is high on both payers. The top 3 Medicare codes account for 86.0% of Medicare revenue and are primarily driven by A0428, A0429, and A0425; likewise the top 3 Medicaid codes account for 88.0% of Medicaid revenue, driven by A0428, A0999, and A0429 — this suggests a narrow set of service lines generate most of the provider’s public-payer income.
A0428 is the single largest revenue driver on both payers and is an extreme outlier in volume. On Medicare A0428 represents $3.4M (62.2% of this provider's total Medicare revenue) and ranks #24 of 2772 providers nationally (99th percentile; extreme outlier), while on Medicaid A0428 represents $22.1M (52.2% of this provider's total Medicaid revenue) and ranks #1 of 85 providers in-state (100th percentile; extreme outlier).
A0999 (unlisted ambulance service) is a material Medicaid revenue source and a state-level standout: it generated $10.7M (25.2% of this provider's total Medicaid revenue) from 9K claims and ranks #1 of 18 providers in-state (100th percentile; notably above typical state volume). The prominence of A0999 in Medicaid mix indicates substantial use of unlisted coding that materially contributes to the provider’s Medicaid revenue base.
Ground mileage (A0425) and billed mileage codes are significant components of reimbursement across payers. A0425 on Medicare produced $533.2K (9.9% of this provider's total Medicare revenue) with 76.2K claims and ranks #231 of 8934 providers nationally (97th percentile; notably above typical national volume), while Medicaid A0425 had 167K claims for $1.7M (3.9% of this provider's total Medicaid revenue) and ranks #7 of 483 providers in-state (99th percentile; extreme outlier).
The provider is a dominant competitor for key codes at different geography levels: nationally it is an extreme outlier on Medicare A0428 (99th percentile) and notably above typical on several other Medicare codes, while at the state level it is the top-ranked filer for Medicaid A0428 and A0999 (both 100th percentile). These rank positions indicate concentrated market power in BLS non-emergency and unlisted ambulance services within New York Medicaid and unusually high national Medicare volume for select codes.
Not all code volumes are extraordinary: several advanced life support and specialty care lines (for example A0427 and A0434 on Medicare and Medicaid) appear at more typical percentiles (mid-to-high range but not extreme), suggesting the operation is primarily BLS/non-emergency-focused with a secondary, modest ALS and specialty transport capability. This mix implies operational capacity optimized for high-throughput ground BLS trips rather than a dominant ALS emergency service line.
