| Payer Source | Total Paid |
|---|---|
| Medicaid | $37.8M |
| Medicare | $15.4M |
CLASSIC AIR CARE LLC’s billing mix and taxonomy (Air Ambulance) confirm it is primarily an air-transport operator: Medicare top revenue drivers include A0431 (1.2K claims, $4816 avg paid/claim, $5.7M revenue), A0436 (130.1K claims, $32 avg paid/claim, $4.2M revenue), and A0430 (795 claims, $4183 avg paid/claim, $3.3M revenue), all codes for rotary- and fixed-wing transport and associated mileage. The presence of both rotary (A0436, A0431) and fixed-wing (A0430, A0435) high-volume codes indicates the provider operates mixed aircraft services and bills both per-trip and per-mile components heavily.
Revenue concentration is high on both payers: the top 3 Medicare codes account for 85.7% of Medicare revenue and the top 3 Medicaid codes account for 82.5% of Medicaid revenue. That level of concentration around a few air-transport codes signals reliance on core transport services for most of the $15.4M in Medicare revenue and $37.8M in Medicaid revenue.
The provider’s payer mix is skewed toward Medicaid in scale: reported lifetime Medicaid revenue is $37.8M compared with $15.4M in Medicare. While Medicaid payments per claim are lower on headline averages for some codes, Medicaid nonetheless represents the larger revenue stream for this operator.
CLASSIC AIR CARE shows a strong competitive standing nationally on key Medicare codes: A0436 ranks #4 of 348 (99th percentile, notably above typical national volume) and A0430 ranks #3 of 92 (98th percentile, extreme outlier), indicating unusually high national activity on mileage and fixed-wing transports. At the same time A0431 ranks #8 of 348 (98th percentile; described as typical/unremarkable volume for that code), which suggests national strength is particularly concentrated in mileage and fixed-wing transports rather than uniform dominance across all air-ambulance codes.
In-state Medicaid positioning is dominant for primary air-ambulance services: A0431, A0436, A0430 and A0435 each rank #1 in-state (100th percentile) and are described as extreme outlier or notably above typical state volume. Those #1 ranks across both rotary and fixed-wing codes imply CLASSIC AIR CARE is a leading statewide provider for air transports and mileage billings under Medicaid.
Operational intensity is visible in mileage volumes: Medicare shows very large mileage claim counts (A0436 at 130.1K claims and A0435 at 155.2K claims) and Medicaid also reports substantial mileage volumes (A0436 at 7.5K claims and A0435 at 5.2K claims). High per-mile claim counts across payers point to long-distance or frequent air transport operations and will be a key driver of utilization and cost for contracting or network planning.
Unit-payment patterns differ materially between payers for the same service types: for example, A0431 reports $4816 avg paid/claim on Medicare versus $1605 avg paid/claim on Medicaid, and A0430 reports $4183 avg paid/claim on Medicare versus $1462 avg paid/claim on Medicaid. These discrepancies mean the provider’s revenue mix is shaped both by volume differences and substantial per-claim payment differentials across payers, which is relevant for rate negotiations and margin analysis.
The provider has an established enrollment history (NPI enumerated 2013-04-29, ~13 years ago), indicating a multi-year operational track record in air-ambulance billing; combined with the concentration and high-ranking volumes, this tenure supports the interpretation of an established regional operator with significant Medicaid and notable Medicare activity.
