HAWAII LIFE FLIGHT, LLC operates as a fixed-wing air ambulance provider: its top billed services are A0430 (conventional air transport, fixed wing) and A0435 (fixed wing air mileage), indicating primary operations are point-to-point aeromedical transport rather than ground ambulance or ground-based emergency services. The presence of A0420 (ambulance waiting time) in Medicaid records further suggests occasional chargeable downtime, but the dominant activity is fixed-wing transport.
Revenue is highly concentrated in a narrow set of air-ambulance codes: the top 3 Medicare codes account for 100.0% of the provider's Medicare revenue and the top 3 Medicaid codes account for 100.0% of its Medicaid revenue, signaling dependence on a small number of service lines. This concentration implies business risk tied to reimbursement or utilization changes for those specific codes.
Payer mix is heavily weighted to Medicaid in scale: lifetime Medicaid revenue is $8.5M versus total Medicare revenue of $636.1K, so Medicaid accounts for the vast majority of reported public-payer receipts. This profile makes the provider effectively Medicaid-dominant rather than balanced across both Medicare and Medicaid.
Medicare competitive standing is modest nationally: the largest Medicare revenue driver A0430 generated $469.5K (73.4% of Medicare revenue) on 106 claims with an average paid/claim of $4429, and this provider ranks #30 of 92 nationally (68th percentile), characterized as typical, unremarkable volume for this code. The secondary Medicare code A0435 contributed $170.3K (26.6% of Medicare revenue) across 14.2K claims at $12 avg paid/claim and ranks #44 of 92 (53th percentile), also described as typical volume.
By contrast, the provider is a clear in-state leader for Medicaid fixed-wing services: A0430 produced $7.8M (91.3% of Medicaid revenue) over 2K claims at $3905 avg paid/claim and ranks #1 of 7 in the state (100th percentile; notably above typical state volume). A0435 is also ranked #1 of 6 in-state with $739.8K (8.7% of Medicaid revenue) over 997 claims at $742 avg paid/claim (100th percentile; notably above typical state volume), indicating dominance in Hawaii's Medicaid air-ambulance market.
Payment profile contrasts between payers are notable at the claim level: Medicare average paid/claim for A0430 is $4429 while Medicaid average paid/claim for A0430 is $3905, and A0435 averages $12 per claim on Medicare versus $742 per claim on Medicaid, reflecting materially different reimbursement rates and/or billing units between programs. These per-claim differences should be considered when modeling revenue sensitivity to payer mix shifts.
There is a small but curious Medicaid record for waiting time A0420: 12 claims are listed with $0 avg paid/claim and $0 revenue, and this line is ranked #1 of 1 in-state (0th percentile; no state peer volume comparison available). This suggests waiting-time units have been billed or recorded but did not produce reimbursed revenue over the lifetime data window and may warrant review if waiting-time recovery is operationally expected.
The provider has a stable operational tenure: its NPI was enumerated on 2017-11-07 (~9 years ago), indicating several years of activity to establish state-market leadership on Medicaid fixed-wing transports while remaining a more modest national participant on Medicare air-ambulance codes.
