GUARDIAN FLIGHT LLC’s billings are concentrated in fixed‑wing air ambulance services: the top Medicare codes are A0435 (Fixed wing air mileage) and A0430 (Ambulance service, conventional air services, fixed wing one‑way transport), and the Medicaid top codes are the same two codes. This code mix indicates the operation is focused on fixed‑wing patient transports and mileage‑based air transfers rather than ground ambulance or other ancillary services.
Medicare revenue is narrowly concentrated: the provider’s top three Medicare codes account for 100.0% of its Medicare revenue, with A0435 generating $201.9K (53.1% of Medicare revenue, 16.8K claims, $12 avg paid/claim) and A0430 generating $178K (46.9% of Medicare revenue, 40 claims, $4450 avg paid/claim). This concentration shows Medicare billing activity is essentially limited to two air‑ambulance code types.
Medicaid revenue shows a similar two‑code concentration: the top three Medicaid codes account for 100.0% of its Medicaid revenue, split nearly evenly between A0430 ($421.5K, 50.2% of Medicaid revenue, 285 claims, $1479 avg paid/claim) and A0435 ($418K, 49.8% of Medicaid revenue, 284 claims, $1472 avg paid/claim). Medicaid billing also centers on fixed‑wing transports, with comparable claim counts for mileage and transport codes.
Payer mix is skewed toward Medicaid by scale: reported lifetime Medicaid revenue is $839.7K compared with $380.4K in Medicare, making Medicaid the larger source of reported public‑payer revenue for this provider. Both payers are active, but Medicaid constitutes the majority of documented public‑payer receipts.
Reimbursement patterns differ materially by payer and code: A0435 shows a $12 avg paid/claim in Medicare versus $1472 avg paid/claim in Medicaid, while A0430 shows $4450 avg paid/claim in Medicare versus $1479 avg paid/claim in Medicaid. These divergent average‑paid figures for the same HCPCS codes across payers suggest different unitization or billing practices between Medicare and state Medicaid programs that analysts should investigate further.
On competitive standing, GUARDIAN FLIGHT LLC is a modest participant nationally and in‑state for its core codes: for Medicare, A0435 ranks #33 of 92 nationally (65th percentile, typical, unremarkable volume) while A0430 ranks #74 of 92 (20th percentile, typical, unremarkable volume); for Medicaid both A0430 and A0435 rank #7 of 12 in‑state (45th percentile, typical, unremarkable volume). These ranks indicate the provider is not a dominant market leader but maintains a stable, typical presence in fixed‑wing transport within its peer sets.
The provider’s NPI was enumerated on 2017-08-14 (~9 years ago), indicating it has been active under this identifier for a relatively recent multi‑year period. Combined with the concentrated two‑code revenue profile, this tenure and specialization suggest GUARDIAN FLIGHT LLC operates as a focused fixed‑wing air transport service rather than a diversified EMS provider.
