BELL AMBULANCE, INC. operates as a land ambulance provider with a code mix dominated by basic life support emergency transports and mileage, indicating a high-volume ground EMS operation. On Medicare the highest-revenue code is A0429 (7.1K claims, $2.3M revenue) and on Medicaid A0429 is also dominant (162.6K claims, $26.3M revenue), showing consistent focus on BLS emergency transport across payers and significant scale in trip-based billing.
Revenue is highly concentrated by a small set of transport codes on both payers: precomputed top 3 Medicare codes account for 81.3% of Medicare revenue, and precomputed top 3 Medicaid codes account for 78.0% of Medicaid revenue. Those Medicare top codes include A0429, A0428 and A0425, while the Medicaid top codes driving the bulk of revenue are A0429, A0427 and A0380, demonstrating that a few transport and mileage codes drive most receipts.
BELL AMBULANCE’s payer mix is heavily skewed toward Medicaid by scale: total Medicare revenue is $5.9M versus total Medicaid revenue of $47.3M, so the provider is effectively Medicaid-dominant in absolute dollar terms. This disparity suggests operational emphasis on contracts and workflows that serve the Medicaid population and payer rules.
Against national Medicare peers, the provider shows unusually high volume for several key ambulance codes: A0429 ranks #29 of 7808 providers (100th percentile; extreme outlier), A0425 ranks #79 of 8934 providers (99th percentile; extreme outlier), and A0428 ranks #72 of 2772 providers (97th percentile; notably above typical national volume). These placements indicate BELL AMBULANCE is a major national outlier in BLS and mileage billing activity on Medicare for these services.
Within Wisconsin Medicaid, BELL AMBULANCE is a dominant statewide player for many ambulance codes: A0429 ranks #1 of 153 providers (100th percentile; extreme outlier), A0380 ranks #1 of 106 providers (100th percentile; extreme outlier), A0434 ranks #1 of 19 providers (100th percentile; extreme outlier), and several other codes appear as #1 or top-percentile. That statewide dominance suggests the provider captures a very large share of Medicaid ambulance volume for multiple service lines.
The provider’s mix includes higher-acuity and specialized transport services in addition to routine BLS: Medicare A0434 (specialty care transport) contributes $294.2K revenue and Medicaid A0434 contributes $3M revenue, while Medicare and Medicaid advanced life support codes (A0427/A0426) also appear in the top lists. Presence of A0434 and ALS codes indicates capabilities for specialty and higher-acuity interfacility transfers alongside high-volume BLS work.
Mileage and non-transport response activity are material components of BELL AMBULANCE’s billing footprint and suggest broad geographic coverage or long transport distances: Medicare A0425 (140.8K claims, $985.3K revenue) and Medicaid A0380 (173.7K claims, $4.7M revenue) are both extremely high-volume entries. The sizable count for A0998 (17.7K claims, $1.1M revenue on Medicaid) further indicates frequent ambulance response-and-treatment encounters without transport, reflecting a mix of dispatch outcomes.
BELL AMBULANCE has an established tenure with NPI enumeration on 2006-07-17 (~20 years ago), and its concentrated reliance on a handful of transport and mileage codes creates operational sensitivity to reimbursement or policy changes that affect those specific codes. Given the provider’s outsized rankings and revenue concentration, payers and analysts should monitor contract terms, utilization controls, and policy shifts impacting A0429/A0428/A0425 (Medicare) and A0429/A0427/A0380 (Medicaid).
