HOWARD COUNTY MARYLAND operates as a land ambulance provider whose billed services are concentrated in emergency transport codes. Medicare activity is dominated by A0429 (3.5K claims, $1.2M, 44.9% of Medicare revenue) and A0427 (2.8K claims, $1.2M, 42.9% of Medicare revenue), with ground mileage A0425 showing a very high claim count (43.6K claims, $305.2K, 11.0%). This mix points to routine emergency BLS and ALS transport operations with substantial mileage-based transport activity.
Medicare revenue is highly concentrated: the top 3 Medicare codes by revenue account for 98.9% of the provider's total Medicare revenue. That concentration indicates the business is heavily dependent on a narrow set of ambulance services (A0429, A0427, A0425) for nearly all Medicare receipts, which raises operational sensitivity to reimbursement or utilization changes for those codes.
Medicaid billing is even more concentrated: the top 3 Medicaid codes by revenue account for 100.0% of the provider's Medicaid revenue. A0427 alone drives the majority of Medicaid revenue (14.8K claims, $1.4M, 70.1%), with A0425 contributing most of the remainder (6.5K claims, $588.7K, 29.6%), signalling a Medicaid book of business focused on ALS emergency transports and associated mileage.
Payer mix shows Medicare scale larger than Medicaid: reported lifetime Medicare revenue is $2.8M versus $2M in lifetime Medicaid revenue. Both payers are material to the business, but Medicare represents the single larger revenue source on file, so shifts in Medicare policy or volume would likely have outsized impact.
Competitive standing is strong nationally on at least one Medicare code: A0429 ranks #88 of 7808 providers nationally (99th percentile) and is explicitly labeled an "extreme outlier," indicating this provider is a dominant national billing outlier for BLS emergency transport. A0427 and A0425 also rank highly for Medicare (A0427: #238 of 6841, 97th percentile; A0425: #468 of 8934, 95th percentile), reflecting above-typical Medicare volumes for these ground-transport services.
Within Maryland Medicaid, the provider is a major in-state participant for ALS emergency transports: A0427 ranks #9 of 88 in-state (91th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume descriptor provided) and accounts for 70.1% of Medicaid revenue. A0425 is more modest in-state (rank #21 of 79, 74th percentile) but still contributes nearly 30% of Medicaid revenue, underscoring the provider's role in mileage-billed transports for Medicaid patients.
Reimbursement patterns differ markedly between payers on a per-claim basis: for example, A0429 average paid per claim is $359 on Medicare versus $2 on Medicaid, A0427 averages $427 on Medicare versus $94 on Medicaid, and A0425 averages $7 on Medicare versus $90 on Medicaid. These cross-payer per-claim differences reflect distinct payer-specific rate structures and mean the same codes generate very different revenue profiles depending on payer mix.
The provider has been NPI-enumerated since 2019-04-16 (~7 years ago), indicating an operational tenure long enough to establish recurring billing patterns but still relatively recent compared with longer-standing EMS systems. Given the concentrated code mix and the strong national and in-state ranks on core transport codes, the organization appears operationally established with a focused, transport-heavy service line orientation.
