GUARDIAN FLIGHT LLC operates as a fixed-wing air ambulance provider: its revenue mix is concentrated in conventional air transport and mileage codes (A0430 and A0435), indicating primary operations are one-way fixed-wing patient transports where per-trip and per-mile billing drive receipts. Both Medicare and Medicaid activity is dominated by these air-transport services rather than ancillary clinical procedures.
Medicare revenue is narrowly concentrated in a small set of transport codes: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes account for 100.0% of this provider's total Medicare revenue, with A0430 representing 65.4% and A0435 representing 34.6% of the $352.4K in lifetime Medicare receipts. This concentration signals a single-service-line dependency for Medicare billing.
Medicaid revenue shows an even larger absolute footprint but the same concentrated service mix: the precomputed top 3 Medicaid codes account for 100.0% of total Medicaid revenue, with A0430 contributing 66.5% and A0435 contributing 33.5% of the $5.4M in lifetime Medicaid receipts. The provider’s Medicaid business is therefore also tightly tied to fixed-wing transports and mileage.
The payer mix is heavily skewed toward Medicaid in scale: lifetime Medicaid revenue is $5.4M versus $352.4K in Medicare, meaning the provider is effectively Medicaid-dominant in overall billing volume and likely reliant on state payer dynamics for financial performance. This gap suggests Medicaid reimbursement levels and utilization patterns will disproportionately affect the organization.
On national Medicare competitiveness, the provider is a modest participant: both A0430 and A0435 rank #61 of 92 nationally and are in the 34th percentile, described in the source as 'typical, unremarkable volume for this code.' That ranking indicates the provider is not a national high-volume leader for fixed-wing Medicare transports.
In-state for Medicaid, the provider holds a relatively stronger position: for both A0430 and A0435 it ranks #4 of 12 providers in-state (73th percentile) and the volumes are labeled 'typical, unremarkable volume' relative to peers. This placement suggests GUARDIAN FLIGHT is a meaningful regional competitor for fixed-wing Medicaid transports, placing it in the upper half of state providers for these codes.
The NPI was enumerated on 2017-08-23 (~9 years ago), indicating nearly a decade of billing history under this identifier. Combined with the narrow code mix (A0430/A0435) and the large Medicaid book of business, the provider appears to be an established, specialized fixed-wing transport operator with revenue exposure concentrated in trip and mileage reimbursements.
