GUARDIAN FLIGHT LLC is an air ambulance operator by taxonomy and its billing mix confirms a fixed-wing transport focus: Medicare and Medicaid top codes are A0435 (Fixed wing air mileage, per statute mile) and A0430 (Ambulance service, conventional air services, transport, one way (fixed wing)), indicating primary services are mileage-based and one-way fixed-wing patient transports rather than ground or rotary-wing services. The presence of high claim counts for A0435 on Medicare (95.1K claims) and Medicaid (1.6K claims) reinforces a mileage-heavy business model.
Revenue concentration is extremely high on a narrow service set for Medicare: precomputed top-3 Medicare codes account for 100.0% of the provider's Medicare revenue, with A0435 representing 58.4% and A0430 representing 41.6% of Medicare revenue. This means Medicare income for this entity is entirely driven by fixed-wing mileage and one-way transports, leaving little Medicare revenue diversification outside those air-ambulance codes.
Medicaid revenue is similarly concentrated: precomputed top-3 Medicaid codes account for 100.0% of Medicaid revenue, with A0435 at 61.2% and A0430 at 38.8% of Medicaid revenue. Medicaid receipts therefore mirror Medicare in being fully concentrated in fixed-wing mileage and one-way fixed-wing transports, indicating equivalent service reliance across both payers.
Payer mix is tilted toward Medicaid in scale: the provider reported Total Medicare revenue of $1.9M versus Total Medicaid revenue of $6.6M, making Medicaid the materially larger source of lifetime billed revenue. Analysts should treat this provider as effectively Medicaid-dominant in overall revenue exposure while still maintaining meaningful Medicare activity tied to the same fixed-wing services.
Competitive standing on Medicare shows relatively high national ranks for its core codes but are characterized in the source as routine: A0435 ranks #9 of 92 nationally (91th percentile) and A0430 ranks #15 of 92 nationally (85th percentile), yet both are labeled "typical, unremarkable volume for this code." In plain terms, the provider sits among higher-volume national peers for these fixed-wing services but without flagged statistical extremeness in the supplied data.
In-state competitive standing on Medicaid is modest: A0435 ranks #5 of 12 (64th percentile) in-state and A0430 ranks #6 of 12 (55th percentile), both described as typical, unremarkable volumes for those codes. This places GUARDIAN FLIGHT as a mid-tier in-state fixed-wing provider rather than a clear dominant operator within Alaska based on the provided Medicaid rankings.
There are notable differences in reported average paid amounts per claim between payers for the same code set: Medicare A0435 shows $12 avg paid/claim while Medicaid A0435 shows $2475 avg paid/claim, and Medicare A0430 shows $4423 avg paid/claim versus Medicaid A0430 at $1586 avg paid/claim. These payer-level payment disparities suggest very different reimbursement structures or claim reporting conventions between Medicare and Medicaid for fixed-wing mileage and transport services, and they should be considered when modeling unit economics or contract negotiations.
The provider has established tenure in the dataset, with an NPI enumeration date of 2017-08-14 (~9 years ago), and consistent billing to both Medicare and Medicaid since then. Combined with the concentrated code mix and multi-payer presence, this tenure implies an operationally stable fixed-wing air-ambulance service serving both federal and state payers rather than a newly emergent or transient biller.
