MER CY AIR SERVICE, INC operates as an air ambulance provider focused on rotary wing transports: its Medicare billing is concentrated entirely in three air-ambulance codes (precomputed top-3 account for 100.0% of Medicare revenue), led by A0431 and A0436 which together represent the full Medicare revenue picture. The Medicare top code A0431 (rotary wing one-way transport) accounts for $6.1M and A0436 (rotary wing mileage) accounts for $2.6M, indicating core reliance on helicopter transports rather than mixed or ground ambulance services. This code mix is consistent with an operation whose primary service line is rotor-wing air ambulance missions rather than fixed-wing or non-emergency transports.
For Medicaid the provider shows even greater scale: total Medicaid revenue is $49.4M with its top three codes accounting for 99.2% of that revenue, demonstrating extreme concentration in a narrow set of air-ambulance services. Medicaid payments are dominated by A0431 ($29.4M, 59.6% of Medicaid revenue) and A0436 ($18.9M, 38.3% of Medicaid revenue), with the remaining small share from A0435 and A0430. This distribution indicates Medicaid business is overwhelmingly driven by rotary wing transports, with fixed wing only a marginal contribution to the overall Medicaid revenue mix.
Payer mix is heavily weighted toward Medicaid in scale: lifetime Medicare revenue totals $8.8M versus $49.4M in Medicaid, so Medicaid represents the much larger payer relationship for this provider. While Medicare revenue is meaningful, the provider is effectively Medicaid-dominant by absolute revenue, suggesting operational emphasis or contracting that favors Medicaid-funded transports.
Competitively, MERCY AIR SERVICE ranks as a major provider for its top codes in both payers. For Medicare, A0431 ranks #6 of 348 providers and A0436 ranks #5 of 348 (both in the 99th percentile and described as notably above typical national volume), which positions the provider as a national-volume leader for rotary wing Medicare services. For Medicaid within Nevada, the provider ranks #1 of 5 for both A0431 and A0436 (100th percentile and described as notably above typical state volume), indicating it is the dominant in-state supplier of rotary-wing Medicaid transports.
The claim-level details emphasize operational intensity: Medicare shows 1.4K claims for A0431 with an average paid/claim of $4473 and 92.5K claims for A0436 with an average paid/claim of $28, while Medicaid shows 18.3K claims for A0431 at $1604 avg paid/claim and 18.3K claims for A0436 at $1037 avg paid/claim. These figures suggest the provider performs high-volume mileage reporting (A0436) alongside a substantial number of one-way rotary transports (A0431), consistent with frequent, longer-distance rotary-wing missions driving both utilization and revenue.
Tenure is long: the NPI was enumerated on 2005-07-14 (~21 years ago), indicating sustained operational presence in the market. This longevity, combined with top-percentile ranks, supports a picture of an established air ambulance operator that has maintained high-volume billing relationships with both Medicare and Medicaid over a multi-decade period.
The provider is a statistical outlier on several measures: both Medicare A0431 and A0436 are labeled as notably above typical national volume and sit in the 99th percentile, while Medicaid A0431 and A0436 are labeled notably above typical state volume and sit in the 100th percentile. Those descriptions indicate the provider’s utilization and revenue for core rotary-wing codes are well above peer norms at the national level for Medicare and dominant at the state level for Medicaid, marking it as an exceptional volume operator within its specialty.
Although rotary-wing activity dominates, there is limited fixed-wing Medicaid activity (A0435 and A0430 together represent about 2.1% of Medicaid revenue with A0435 at $626.3K and A0430 at $399.4K), both ranked mid-level among in-state peers. These smaller fixed-wing contributions suggest the business footprint is primarily rotor-based with selective fixed-wing operations that are not central to revenue generation.
