METRO AMBULANCE SERVICE RURAL INC is an ambulance-focused operator: the top Medicare and Medicaid revenue codes are ALS and BLS transport codes (A0427, A0425, A0428, A0429), indicating core business activity is emergency and non-emergency ground ambulance transport with associated mileage and routine/specialized supplies. Revenue mix shows the provider is delivering a full spectrum of prehospital transport services rather than a narrow ancillary line.
Revenue concentration is high on both payers. For Medicare, the precomputed top-3 codes account for 88.0% of Medicare revenue, with A0427, A0425, and A0428 together dominating receipts. For Medicaid, the precomputed top-3 codes account for 91.5% of Medicaid revenue, with A0427, A0425, and A0429 providing the large majority of state reimbursements. This concentration indicates financial dependence on a small set of transport and mileage services.
Payer mix is Medicaid-weighted in scale: total Medicaid revenue is $16.5M versus total Medicare revenue of $4.6M, so this provider generates materially more revenue from Medicaid-covered transports than from Medicare. The larger Medicaid volume suggests the provider operates in service lines or a catchment area heavily used by Medicaid beneficiaries.
National and state competitive standing differs by payer and code. On Medicare A0425 (Ground mileage) the provider ranks #50 of 8934 (99th percentile) and is labeled an extreme outlier, indicating exceptionally high mileage billings compared with national peers. Medicare A0427 (ALS emergency) ranks #123 of 6841 (98th percentile), also well above typical national volume and supporting an outsized role in ALS emergency transports nationally for its peer set.
Within the state Medicaid market the provider is a top regional participant for several codes: A0427 ranks #5 of 49 providers in-state (92nd percentile) and A0425 ranks #5 of 54 (92nd percentile), both described as notably or typically above state volume; additionally, the provider is the statewide leader for some disposable-supplies lines (A0394 rank #1 of 7 and A0382 rank #1 of 5, each at the 100th percentile). These rankings indicate competitive strength in both core transport and certain supplies billing within Mississippi.
Several codes show distinctly high-volume or outlier status that shape operational implications. A0425 is an "extreme outlier" on Medicare and "notably above typical" in-state for Medicaid, suggesting the provider covers unusually long or frequent transport mileages compared with peers, which has operational implications for fleet utilization and reimbursement exposure. Similarly, A0427 is high-volume on both payers, reinforcing a specialization in ALS-level emergency response.
Operational detail from code mix indicates both emergency (A0427, A0429) and non-emergency transports (A0426, A0428) are billed, but emergency ALS is the single largest revenue driver across payers. On Medicaid A0427 alone accounts for $8.9M (54.0% of Medicaid revenue) whereas on Medicare A0427 contributes $2M (43.3% of Medicare revenue), illustrating ALS emergency transport is the dominant service line and likely the core staffing and equipment focus.
Provider tenure is long-standing: the NPI was enumerated on 2006-09-08 (about 20 years ago), indicating sustained Medicare/Medicaid participation over a multi-decade period. This longevity, combined with concentrated code volumes, suggests an established operational footprint rather than a recent entrant.
