MER CY AMBULANCE SERVICE INC. operates as a land-ambulance provider with an operational profile heavily weighted toward emergency transports; Medicare top-line codes are A0427 (A0427 – ALS emergency), A0429 (BLS emergency), and A0425 (ground mileage), which together drive the bulk of billed ambulance services and indicate a fleet configured for advanced life support emergency responses as well as routine mileage billing. The presence of both ALS (A0427, A0433) and BLS (A0429, A0428) codes shows capability for multiple transport acuity levels rather than a single-service niche.
Revenue is highly concentrated in a very small set of codes: the precomputed top three Medicare codes account for 95.3% of this provider’s total Medicare revenue, and the top three Medicaid codes account for 100.0% of its total Medicaid revenue. This concentration implies that a small number of clinical service lines—principally emergency ALS, emergency BLS, and ground mileage—drive virtually all payor-facing revenue for this entity.
The payer mix is heavily Medicare-dominant: lifetime Medicare revenue is listed as $2.8M while lifetime Medicaid revenue is $43.1K, so Medicare is by far the primary revenue source for this provider. Given that Medicaid is two orders of magnitude smaller in absolute dollars relative to Medicare, the organization is effectively operating as a Medicare-focused ambulance supplier with only modest Medicaid activity on file.
On national Medicare competitiveness, A0427 is a particular standout: the provider reported 5.1K claims and $1.9M revenue for A0427, ranking #124 of 6841 providers nationally (98th percentile) and is described as notably above typical national volume. By contrast, A0429 (1.5K claims, $461.1K revenue) and A0425 (50.9K claims, $356.4K revenue) also rank in the upper national percentiles (both given at the 96th percentile) but are labelled as typical or unremarkable volume, suggesting this provider is a relatively large ALS emergency transporter at the national level while its other ambulance services align with high-volume peers.
In the Georgia Medicaid market the provider’s activity is modest: A0427 has 190 claims and $22.8K revenue (rank #9 of 21 in-state, 60th percentile) and A0425 has 656 claims and $20.3K revenue (rank #12 of 32 in-state, 65th percentile). Those in-state percentiles characterize MERCY AMBULANCE SERVICE INC. as a mid-tier Medicaid participant rather than a dominant statewide operator, with Medicaid volumes described as typical compared with in-state peers.
Operational volume signals from claims counts reinforce the business model: Medicare shows 5.1K A0427 claims and 50.9K A0425 (mileage) claims, while Medicaid shows 190 A0427 claims and 656 A0425 claims, indicating routine, high-frequency mileage billing alongside thousands of Medicare emergency transports. These raw claim counts suggest consistent operational utilization of ground mileage billing across both payers and substantial Medicare transport throughput that supports the provider’s larger Medicare revenue footprint.
The provider’s NPI was enumerated on 2007-01-17 (~19 years ago), indicating a long-tenured operations history. This tenure increases the likelihood that the provider is an established local operator with operational systems and payer relationships in place, which aligns with the elevated national ranking for A0427 on the Medicare side.
The extreme revenue concentration in a few codes makes payer policy or reimbursement changes for A0427/A0429/A0425 disproportionately impactful: because the top three Medicare codes make up 95.3% of Medicare revenue and the top three Medicaid codes make up 100.0% of Medicaid revenue, shifts in coverage, payment rates, or utilization review for those specific ambulance codes would materially affect this provider’s financials. Monitoring payor edits and state Medicaid fee-schedule movement for these codes should be a priority for contracting and risk assessment.
