HUNTER'S AMBULANCE SERVICE, INC. operates primarily as a ground-ambulance transporter with a mix of basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS) activity; its top codes across payers are A0428 (BLS non-emergency), A0429 (BLS emergency), and A0427 (ALS 1 emergency), and it also bills specialty care transport under A0434. The presence of both high-volume BLS and substantial ALS emergency claims indicates routine day-to-day non-emergency patient movement alongside a sustained emergency-response capability.
Medicare revenue is concentrated in a tight set of transport codes: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes by revenue account for 76.3% of the provider's total Medicare revenue, with A0428 reported as $1.3M (31.7%), A0429 as $949.7K (22.5%), and A0427 as $929.8K (22.1%). This concentration shows Medicare receipts are heavily dependent on a small number of core transport services.
Medicaid represents a substantially larger share of lifetime revenue than Medicare: total Medicare revenue is $4.2M versus total Medicaid revenue of $25.5M, and Medicaid receipts are even more concentrated—precomputed top 3 Medicaid codes account for 87.8% of Medicaid revenue, driven by A0429 at $9.6M (37.4%), A0427 at $7M (27.2%), and A0428 at $5.9M (23.1%). The scale and concentration on the Medicaid side indicate the business is effectively Medicaid-heavy in its payer mix.
On national Medicare competitive standing the provider is a high-volume outlier for key BLS transports: A0428 ranks #93 of 2772 providers nationally (97th percentile; notably above typical national volume) and A0429 ranks #128 of 7808 providers nationally (98th percentile; notably above typical national volume), while A0427 ranks #313 of 6841 (95th percentile; reported as typical, unremarkable). These ranks imply the provider is well above typical national volume for BLS work and maintains a strong but more typical presence in ALS emergency billing.
Within Connecticut Medicaid the provider is a dominant statewide player on core emergency and non-emergency transport codes: A0429 and A0427 both rank #2 in-state (99th percentile), A0428 ranks #2 of 17 (94th percentile), and ground mileage A0425 ranks #2 of 128 (99th percentile; labeled an extreme outlier). This set of in-state rankings signals market-leading volumes for emergency and routine transport and an especially outsized role in billed mileage.
Ground-mileage billing is a notable utilization signal across both payers: Medicare shows A0425 at 91.6K claims producing $641.4K (15.2% of Medicare revenue) and ranks #177 of 8934 nationally (98th percentile; notably above typical), while Medicaid reports A0425 at 128.5K claims producing $1.4M (5.5% of Medicaid revenue) and ranks #2 in-state (99th percentile; extreme outlier). The combination of very high mileage claim counts and top-percentile ranks suggests frequent or long-distance transports are a material part of operations.
The provider demonstrates capability in specialty and non-transport services at a minority scale: A0434 (specialty care transport) appears on Medicare with 328 claims and $238.8K revenue and on Medicaid with 1.7K claims and $48.1K revenue, and A0998 (response/treatment, no transport) is present in Medicaid albeit at very low volume. These lines contribute to breadth of service offering but are small relative to core BLS/ALS transport revenue.
HUNTER'S AMBULANCE SERVICE, INC. is a long-tenured operator with an NPI enumerated on 2006-09-07 (~20 years ago), and its billing profile—high Medicaid scale, concentrated top-code revenue (Medicaid top 3 = 87.8%; Medicare top 3 = 76.3%), and top-percentile ranks—paints the picture of an established regional ambulance provider that is heavily dependent on high-volume Medicaid transport contracts and routine mileage-driven utilization.
