HAWAII LIFE FLIGHT, LLC’s billing mix is characteristic of a fixed‑wing air ambulance operator: its Medicare and Medicaid revenues are driven by A0430 (ambulance service, conventional air services, transport, one way (fixed wing)) and A0435 (fixed wing air mileage). The presence of both the one‑way transport code and a high‑volume mileage code suggests the provider performs point‑to‑point fixed‑wing transfers rather than ground critical‑care ambulance services.
Revenue is highly concentrated: the precomputed top‑3 codes account for 100.0% of this provider’s Medicare revenue and 100.0% of its Medicaid revenue. On Medicare A0430 represents 67.7% and A0435 32.3% of total Medicare revenue; on Medicaid A0430 represents 91.7% and A0435 8.3% of total Medicaid revenue, indicating near‑exclusive reliance on those two air ambulance code families.
The payer mix is skewed heavily toward Medicaid by scale: total Medicaid revenue is $2M compared with total Medicare revenue of $379.2K. This indicates the provider’s operations generate substantially more billed dollars from state Medicaid sources than from Medicare.
Nationally, HAWAII LIFE FLIGHT is a modest participant for its Medicare top codes: A0430 ranks #57 of 92 providers (38th percentile) and A0435 ranks #58 of 92 (37th percentile), each described in the dataset as "typical, unremarkable volume for this code." These rankings and descriptors imply the provider is not a dominant national player for fixed‑wing Medicare transports but operates at a reasonable, ordinary scale.
Within Hawaii Medicaid, the provider shows strong standing on the primary transport code: A0430 ranks #2 of 7 in‑state (83th percentile), which positions the firm as one of the leading in‑state billers for one‑way fixed‑wing transports. By contrast A0435 is more middle‑of‑pack in‑state (rank #3 of 6, 60th percentile) and is also labeled "typical, unremarkable volume for this code," so the provider’s competitive advantage appears concentrated on the one‑way transport service rather than mileage billing.
Payment and unitization patterns differ markedly between payers: Medicare A0430 average paid/claim is $4433 while Medicaid A0430 average paid/claim is $3614, whereas Medicare A0435 average paid/claim is $12 compared with Medicaid A0435 average paid/claim of $603. These contrasts suggest different payment methodologies or claim unit structures between Medicare and Medicaid for mileage versus one‑way transports, and point to materially different revenue outcomes per claim by payer and code.
Claim counts underline operational emphasis on mileage in Medicare but on one‑way transports in Medicaid: Medicare reports 58 claims for A0430 and 10.2K claims for A0435, while Medicaid reports 502 claims for A0430 and 271 claims for A0435. The Medicare pattern (very high A0435 line counts with low per‑claim dollar values) is consistent with many per‑mile line items, whereas Medicaid shows fewer but higher‑value A0430 transports driving most of the state revenue.
The provider’s NPI was enumerated on 2017-11-07 (~9 years ago), indicating an established presence in the market for nearly a decade. Given the concentration of revenue in a narrow set of air ambulance codes and the mixed competitive positioning (modest nationally, strong in‑state for A0430), analysts should treat HAWAII LIFE FLIGHT as a specialized fixed‑wing transport operator with a heavy reliance on Medicaid revenue and divergent payer reimbursement patterns.
