SUPERIOR AMBULANCE SERVICE INC is a land-ambulance operator whose billing mix is dominated by both emergency and non-emergency ground transports. Medicaid claims show heavy volumes for basic life support and emergency transports (A0428, A0429) as well as substantial ground mileage (A0425), while Medicare billing is likewise concentrated in BLS non-emergency (A0428) and mileage (A0425) plus ALS emergency (A0427). This mix indicates an operation that provides routine non-emergency transfers in addition to emergency BLS/ALS response and long-distance or high-mileage services.
Medicare revenue is concentrated: the provider reported total Medicare revenue of $578.5K and its top three Medicare codes (A0428, A0425, A0427) account for 79.7% of that Medicare revenue. The largest Medicare line is A0428 with $238.5K (41.3% of Medicare revenue), followed by A0425 at $123K (21.3%) and A0427 at $99.6K (17.2%), signaling a tight reliance on a small set of ambulance service codes for Medicare receipts.
Medicaid revenue is heavily concentrated in three codes as well: total Medicaid revenue is $10.1M and the top three Medicaid codes (A0429, A0427, A0428) account for 83.3% of Medicaid revenue. A0429 drives $3.4M (33.7% of Medicaid), A0427 contributes $2.7M (27.0%), and A0428 contributes $2.3M (22.6%), showing that emergency BLS/ALS and BLS non-emergency transports together form the bulk of Medicaid billings.
The payer mix is Medicaid-dominant: Medicaid revenues of $10.1M far exceed Medicare revenues of $578.5K, so the provider is effectively operating as a Medicaid-focused ambulance vendor by scale. Analysts should treat Medicaid reimbursement patterns and state fee schedules as the primary driver of this provider's financial profile and operational incentives.
Competitive standing differs by payer: on Medicare metrics the provider appears as a modest national participant—A0428 ranks #553 of 2772 providers (80th percentile) and A0427 ranks #2710 of 6841 (60th percentile), characterizations listed as "typical, unremarkable volume" for those codes. By contrast, in-state Medicaid ranks show a strong regional presence: A0429 ranks #4 of 56 (95th percentile), A0427 ranks #6 of 53 (90th percentile), and A0428 ranks #3 of 27 (92nd percentile, noted as "notably above typical state volume"), indicating the provider is a leading in-state performer for core ambulance services.
Tenure and operational stability are long-standing: the NPI was enumerated on 2007-01-02 (~19 years ago), which supports the interpretation that observed billing patterns reflect an established local ambulance operator rather than a new entrant. That longevity combined with high Medicaid volumes suggests entrenched referral relationships or contract coverage in the state.
There are notable reporting patterns in Medicaid where several non-emergency transportation codes have claims but report $0 in paid revenue (A0100: 4.9K claims $0 revenue; T2001: 460 claims $0 revenue; A0130: 376 claims $0 revenue; A0999: 60 claims $0 revenue). These zero-paid claim lines—while accompanied by low-to-moderate ranks in-state—are operationally meaningful and should be investigated as potential reimbursement-policy artifacts (managed-care routing, provider type restrictions, or non-covered transport categories) rather than assumed service volume revenue streams.
