GUARDIAN FLIGHT LLC’s billings are concentrated in rotary-wing air-ambulance services: the top Medicare and Medicaid codes are A0431 (air transport, one way, rotary wing) and A0436 (rotary wing air mileage, per statute mile), indicating the operation primarily provides rotary-wing patient transport and bills both trip and mileage components. The presence of both trip and per-mile codes in the top revenue drivers is consistent with a classic air ambulance service-line model.
Medicare revenue is larger in scale than Medicaid for this provider, with lifetime Medicare revenue of $690.3K versus Medicaid revenue of $348.1K, so the business generates notable, but not dominant, income from Medicare relative to Medicaid. Both payers are material to the operation rather than it being single-payer.
Revenue concentration is extreme for both payers: precomputed data show the top 3 Medicare codes account for 100.0% of Medicare revenue and the top 3 Medicaid codes account for 100.0% of Medicaid revenue. On Medicare A0431 represents 61.4% and A0436 38.6% of total Medicare revenue, while on Medicaid A0431 represents 62.3% and A0436 37.7% of total Medicaid revenue, so nearly all billed dollars come from the same two service lines across payers.
Claims and unit mix differ by payer: on Medicare the provider reported 82 claims for A0431 and 8.3K claims for A0436, indicating a heavy volume of mileage units relative to one-way trip line items, whereas on Medicaid the counts are roughly balanced (A0431: 112 claims; A0436: 113 claims). This suggests the Medicare billing profile is driven by per-mile entries in aggregate volume while Medicaid shows more balanced trip-and-mile reporting.
Payment-per-claim patterns diverge sharply between payers: Medicare average paid/claim for A0431 is $5168 versus Medicaid $1937, and Medicare average paid/claim for A0436 is $32 versus Medicaid $1160. These payer-level payment differentials are large and should be considered when forecasting revenue or modeling reimbursement sensitivity across payers.
Nationally the provider is a modest participant for its top Medicare codes: A0431 ranks #184 of 348 providers (46th percentile; described as typical, unremarkable volume) while A0436 ranks #94 of 348 providers (73th percentile; described as typical, unremarkable volume). Those ranks indicate neither a dominant national position nor an outlier high-volume status on these CPT/HCPCS lines.
In-state competitive context is limited: both A0431 and A0436 rank #2 of 2 providers in-state (0th percentile; described as typical, unremarkable volume), reflecting a very small statewide universe for rotary-wing air-ambulance billing that makes in-state rank less informative about market dominance but does confirm presence among the only reported providers.
Tenure is relatively recent: the NPI was enumerated on 2020-02-13 (~6 years ago), so the entity has been active for a relatively short multi-year period and has established recurring billing relationships with both Medicare and Medicaid during that time window.
