LIFEFLIGHT EAGLE’s billing profile is concentrated in rotary-wing air ambulance services: the Medicare top codes are A0431 and A0436 (A0431: 304 claims, $4455 avg paid/claim, $1.4M revenue; A0436: 19.8K claims, $32 avg paid/claim, $634.8K revenue), and the Medicaid top codes are the same plus a trivial diagnostic code 93040. The presence of high-volume A0436 mileage reporting alongside high-dollar A0431 one-way transport claims is consistent with a primary business model built around rotary-wing patient transport rather than ground ambulance or broad outpatient services.
Revenue concentration is extreme at both payers: the top 3 Medicare codes by revenue account for 100.0% of this provider's total Medicare revenue, and the top 3 Medicaid codes by revenue account for 100.0% of this provider's total Medicaid revenue. This means all billed Medicare and Medicaid revenue is captured by a very small set of service lines—primarily the air transport and mileage codes noted above.
Payer mix shows Medicaid is the larger revenue source for LIFEFLIGHT EAGLE: total Medicare revenue is $2M while total Medicaid revenue is $3.5M. Although both payers are active, the provider is materially more dependent on Medicaid in absolute dollars, indicating a heavier operational reliance on state-funded transports or Medicaid-covered patient populations.
Competitive standing for Medicare-coded services is above-average nationally but not uniquely dominant: A0431 ranks #32 of 348 providers nationally (91th percentile) and A0436 ranks #34 of 348 (90th percentile). These placements indicate LIFEFLIGHT EAGLE has higher-than-typical national activity on its primary air-ambulance codes but sits among a broad cohort of similarly active rotary-wing providers rather than as a single national leader.
In-state competitive positioning on Medicaid is solid but not monopolistic for the core air-ambulance codes: A0431 ranks #4 of 14 providers in-state (77th percentile) and A0436 ranks #3 of 12 providers in-state (82th percentile). These ranks suggest the organization is one of a few meaningful rotary-wing operators in Missouri Medicaid billing, contributing the majority of its Medicaid revenue but still competing with several peers.
Service-level economics differ by payer and code: on Medicare A0431 averages $4455 paid/claim while A0436 averages $32 paid/claim, whereas on Medicaid A0431 averages $1296 paid/claim and A0436 averages $250 paid/claim. The disparity between high per-transport payments for A0431 and per-mile payments for A0436 across payers highlights that revenue mix is driven by both expensive discrete transports and high-mileage billing patterns.
Ancillary diagnostic coding is negligible in Medicaid revenue: 93040 appears on Medicaid with 12 claims, $10 avg paid/claim, $120 revenue and is reported as 0.0% of Medicaid revenue, ranking #3 of 3 in-state (0th percentile). This indicates ECG interpretation is a peripheral activity for the organization and not a meaningful contributor to payer revenue.
Tenure and presence in regulatory systems are established: the NPI enumerated on 2005-06-08 (~21 years ago), signaling long-standing operation and a stable billing history spanning multiple Medicare and Medicaid reporting periods. That longevity, combined with concentrated air-ambulance billing, supports treating LIFEFLIGHT EAGLE as an established rotary-wing EMS operator rather than a newly formed entrant.
