HAWAII LIFE FLIGHT, LLC operates as a fixed‑wing air ambulance service: its Medicare and Medicaid revenue is driven almost entirely by A0430 (conventional air one‑way transports) and A0435 (fixed‑wing air mileage), indicating the organization focuses on interfacility and long‑distance air transports rather than ground EMS or nontransport services. Both payers show substantial per‑claim payments for A0430 (Medicare avg $4423 paid/claim; Medicaid avg $3022 paid/claim) and dedicated mileage billing through A0435, reflecting a business model centered on paid distance-based air transports.
Medicare revenue for this provider totals $336.2K and is highly concentrated: the precomputed top‑3 Medicare codes account for 100.0% of Medicare revenue, with A0430 representing 63.9% and A0435 representing 36.1% of that total. This two‑code concentration means Medicare reimbursement here is exclusively tied to fixed‑wing transport and mileage billing.
Medicaid revenue totals $1.8M and likewise shows extreme concentration, with the precomputed top‑3 Medicaid codes accounting for 100.0% of Medicaid revenue; A0430 drives 80.5% of Medicaid revenue while A0435 contributes 19.5%. The Medicaid mix underscores that nearly all state program reimbursement is for fixed‑wing transports and associated mileage rather than diverse ancillary services.
In payer mix terms the provider is effectively Medicaid‑dominant in scale: total Medicaid revenue ($1.8M) substantially exceeds total Medicare revenue ($336.2K), making Medicaid the principal source of third‑party reimbursement for this operation. The profile is not single‑payer — Medicare activity is present — but commercial/other payer mix is not shown, so Medicaid represents the primary public payer exposure.
On national Medicare benchmarking this operator is a modest participant: A0430 ranks #65 of 92 providers nationally (29th percentile) and A0435 ranks #59 of 92 (36th percentile), and both are described as "typical, unremarkable volume for this code." These placements indicate the provider is not a dominant national fixed‑wing supplier in the Medicare market and operates at a conventional volume for these services.
Within Hawaii Medicaid benchmarking the provider has stronger in‑state standing by rank but is still characterized as typical: A0430 ranks #3 of 7 in‑state (67th percentile) and A0435 ranks #2 of 6 in‑state (80th percentile), with both entries labeled "typical, unremarkable volume for this code." The higher in‑state percentiles, particularly for A0435, suggest a relatively important role for mileage‑driven billing locally even though the benchmark language frames the volumes as typical.
The provider has been NPI‑enumerated since 2017-11-07 (~9 years ago), indicating an established presence of several years in the market; combined with the strong Medicaid revenue position, this tenure is consistent with an operational focus on fixed‑wing interfacility transport that has built measurable state program volume over that period. Continued monitoring of claim counts (e.g., Medicaid A0430: 476 claims; Medicare A0435: 10.2K claims) and state benchmarking will clarify whether in‑state market share grows or remains stable.
