FAIRBANKS NORTH STAR BOROUGH reports $518.2K in lifetime Medicare revenue and $1.3M in lifetime Medicaid revenue, with Medicaid revenue ($1.3M) exceeding Medicare revenue ($518.2K). This indicates the entity draws a larger share of its billed ambulance business from Medicaid patients, rather than Medicare, across the reporting period.
The provider’s Medicare billing is dominated by emergency ambulance services and mileage: A0427 (advanced life support, emergency transport) accounts for 66.8% of Medicare revenue, with 654 claims at $530 avg paid/claim, and A0425 (ground mileage) contributes 15.9% with 8.2K claims at $10 avg paid/claim. Combined with A0429 (BLS emergency) the top three Medicare codes account for 98.1% of Medicare revenue, signaling an operational focus on transported emergency care rather than ancillary services.
Medicaid billing shows a mixed emergency and non-emergency transport portfolio: A0429 (BLS emergency) is the largest Medicaid line at $531K (41.5%) with 3.4K claims at $154 avg paid/claim, and A0428 (BLS non-emergency) is a close second at $489.4K (38.2%) with 2.4K claims at $208 avg paid/claim. The top three Medicaid codes (A0429, A0428, A0427) together account for 91.6% of Medicaid revenue, indicating concentrated revenue streams in both emergency and scheduled patient transport.
Revenue concentration is high for both payers: the precomputed top-three share is 98.1% for Medicare and 91.6% for Medicaid, meaning a small set of transport codes drive nearly all reported revenue. For Medicare that concentration is primarily driven by A0427 (66.8%), while Medicaid concentration is split mainly between A0429 (41.5%) and A0428 (38.2%), which increases sensitivity to payment or utilization changes for those specific code lines.
Against national Medicare peers this provider’s code-level ranks are above median but not dominant: A0427 ranks #1163 of 6841 (83rd percentile) and is described as typical, while A0425 ranks #2367 of 8934 (74th percentile) and A0429 ranks #2758 of 7808 (65th percentile). These percentiles suggest the provider operates at modest-to-above-median scale for ALS emergency and mileage on a national basis, without being a leading national outlier.
Within Alaska Medicaid peers the provider shows relatively stronger in-state placement for core BLS work: A0429 ranks #6 of 22 (76th percentile) and A0427 ranks #6 of 16 (67th percentile), both characterized as typical volumes, while A0428 is #10 of 23 (59th percentile). These rankings indicate the provider is a meaningful in-state participant for both emergency and non-emergency ground transport, particularly for BLS emergency trips.
Operational indicators point to heavy mileage and high claim counts for ground transport: Medicare A0425 reports 8.2K claims at $10 avg paid/claim and Medicaid A0425 reports 7.2K claims at $15 avg paid/claim, consistent with a service footprint that bills substantial per-mile ground transport. The combination of large mileage claim counts and significant counts for BLS emergency/non-emergency codes suggests routine long-distance or frequent ground transports are a core part of the business model.
The provider has a long tenure in the data set, with its NPI enumerated on 2006-05-12 (~20 years ago), supporting interpretation of these patterns as established operational behavior rather than a short-lived anomaly. That longevity combined with concentrated code-level revenue and steady in-state rankings implies a stable, ambulance-focused operational profile over time.
