DICKINSON AREA AMBULANCE SERVICE INC operates as a land ambulance provider with its NPI enumerated since 2006-12-08, indicating roughly 20 years of active billing history and an established presence in the Dickinson, ND market. The CPT/HCPCS mix is dominated by emergency and mileage transport codes, consistent with a ground ambulance service that performs both ALS and BLS emergency transports and records substantial transported miles.
Revenue is concentrated across a very small set of procedures for each payer: the top 3 Medicare codes generate 90.9% of total Medicare revenue, and the top 3 Medicaid codes generate 100.0% of total Medicaid revenue, signaling heavy dependence on a few transport services rather than a broad array of ancillary or non-transport revenue streams.
On Medicare, A0427 (ALS 1 emergency), A0425 (ground mileage), and A0429 (BLS emergency) are the primary drivers with the top three accounting for 90.9% of Medicare revenue; A0427 alone represents $256.2K (44.2% of Medicare revenue), which underscores a focus on higher-acuity emergency transports among Medicare beneficiaries.
On Medicaid, A0425 (ground mileage), A0427 (ALS 1 emergency), and A0429 (BLS emergency) together account for 100.0% of Medicaid revenue, with A0425 contributing $770.4K (42.8% of Medicaid revenue). The Medicaid mix shows an unusually large share attributed to mileage payments, suggesting long-distance or frequently billed mileage on Medicaid transports in-state.
Comparing payer scale, this provider reports $574.5K in total Medicare revenue versus $1.8M in total Medicaid revenue, indicating Medicaid is the materially larger revenue source by the figures shown and that the organization is more heavily utilized or reimbursed through Medicaid in its operating area. This makes the provider effectively Medicaid-dominant in lifetime revenue composition.
Competitively, the provider shows modest-to-typical volume nationally on key Medicare codes: A0427 ranks #1444 of 6841 (79th percentile), A0425 ranks #1017 of 8934 (89th percentile), and A0429 ranks #2105 of 7808 (73rd percentile), which positions the organization as a typical but not dominant national participant for those ambulance services. Within North Dakota Medicaid comparisons, its A0425 ranking (#9 of 23, 64th percentile) and A0427 (#10 of 17, 44th percentile) place it near the midpack statewide rather than as a clear market leader.
Procedure-level standing relative to peers is generally described as typical or unremarkable: the presented ranks and percentile labels consistently indicate the provider’s volumes for its top codes are within expected ranges rather than extreme outliers. There are no codes flagged as notably above or extreme outliers in the supplied data, which supports interpretation of steady, routine transport activity rather than anomalous billing patterns.
Operationally, the mix of high-revenue ALS emergency transports (A0427) alongside substantial mileage billing (A0425) suggests a service model that handles higher-acuity emergency responses and serves a relatively large geographic area per trip. This combination is consistent with rural or regional EMS operations where long transport distances elevate mileage revenue while ALS-level services reflect clinical capability and emergency response focus.
