Why are Medicare and Medicaid shown separately instead of combined?

They come from two different CMS data sources with no shared claim identifier, so they can't be reconciled into one number without double-counting or guessing. Every table and chart on this page keeps them fully separate.

Why is there no private/commercial revenue figure?

Private and commercial payer data comes from Transparency in Coverage files, which only publish negotiated rates — not claims or utilization volume. Without a volume figure, no revenue number can be computed for any provider from that data.

What does "Rank" mean in the Competitive Analysis & Benchmarks tables?

For a given CPT/HCPCS code, it's this provider's position by claims volume among all providers billing that same code at that geography level (State, National, or North Dakota for Medicaid) — rank 1 means the highest claims volume for that code.

Why is the Medicaid comparison limited to North Dakota only?

Medicaid is administered per-state with no single national fee schedule, so a state or national comparison the way Medicare has one isn't available. North Dakota (this provider's own state) is the only grouping that's conceptually meaningful.

Why are the numbers rounded to the nearest 10?

To avoid implying more precision than the underlying data supports at a single-provider level. Ratios are kept precise since they're a relative comparison, not a volume or dollar figure.

How current is this data?

The Medicare and Medicaid tables are both single current snapshots, not refreshed on a recurring schedule yet.

Key Findings

GUARDIAN FLIGHT LLC bills exclusively as an air ambulance (Taxonomy: Air Ambulance) based in WILLISTON, ND; its Medicare code mix is dominated by fixed‑wing transport line items, specifically A0430 (conventional air services, transport, one way) and A0435 (fixed wing air mileage, per statute mile), indicating primary operations consist of long‑range or fixed‑wing patient transports rather than ground or rotary wing ambulance work. The presence of both a one‑way transport code and a high-volume mileage code is consistent with fixed‑wing interfacility transfer services.

Revenue concentration on Medicare is highly concentrated: the precomputed top 3 Medicare codes account for 100.0% of this provider's total Medicare revenue, with A0430 representing 60.9% ($254K) and A0435 representing 39.1% ($163.1K) of the $413.8K in total Medicare revenue. This indicates nearly all reported Medicare dollars are directly tied to air transport and mileage services rather than ancillary services.

GUARDIAN FLIGHT LLC is effectively single‑payer at the claims level for the data on file: Total Medicare revenue is $413.8K while there is no Medicaid billing on file, so Medicaid contributes $0 to the recorded payer mix. Analysts should treat Medicare as the sole public payer exposure for this provider in the available dataset.

Operational-volume signals are asymmetric: A0435 shows 13.6K claims while A0430 shows only 61 claims, and average paid per claim differs sharply ($12 for A0435 vs $4164 for A0430). This suggests many mileage line items are billed per transport (or per mile) relative to the discrete one‑way transport charges, producing a revenue structure where numerous low‑unit payments aggregate to a substantial share of revenue.

Competitive standing on Medicare for both core codes is modest rather than dominant: A0430 ranks #54 of 92 nationally (41th percentile) and is described as "typical, unremarkable volume for this code," while A0435 ranks #46 of 92 (51th percentile) and is also labeled "typical, unremarkable volume for this code." Together these ranks indicate GUARDIAN FLIGHT is a moderate national participant for fixed‑wing transport and mileage rather than a market leader.

The per‑claim economics differ by service type and help explain revenue composition: A0430’s $4164 avg paid/claim produces $254K of revenue from 61 transport claims, whereas A0435’s $12 avg paid/claim produces $163.1K of revenue from 13.6K mileage claims. Analysts should note that a small number of high‑value transport line items plus a very large volume of low‑value mileage line items can yield a roughly 60/40 revenue split between transport and mileage despite large disparities in claim counts.

Tenure and enrollment history are straightforward: the NPI was enumerated on 2017-09-12 (~9 years ago), indicating the provider has several years of recorded Medicare activity and is not a newly enrolled entity in the Medicare system. This tenure supports interpreting the observed billing pattern as an established operating profile rather than an initial enrollment artifact.

Neither of the top Medicare codes is flagged as an outlier in the provided descriptors; both A0430 and A0435 are explicitly characterized as "typical, unremarkable volume for this code." From a statistical standpoint in this dataset, GUARDIAN FLIGHT’s Medicare utilization for its primary codes does not deviate markedly from peer norms.
