BEMIDJI AMBULANCE SERVICE, INC. is a land-ambulance operator by taxonomy and its billed services are overwhelmingly ground-transport and emergency-transport oriented. The top Medicare codes driving revenue are A0425 (ground mileage), A0429 (BLS emergency), and A0427 (ALS1 emergency), and the top Medicaid codes mirror that mix, indicating primary operations are routine ground ambulance transports with both basic and advanced life-support emergency responses and some specialty care transports reported.
Revenue is highly concentrated in a small set of transport codes for both payers: the top three Medicare codes account for 89.9% of the provider's Medicare revenue, while the top three Medicaid codes account for 96.4% of the provider's Medicaid revenue. This concentration shows the organization derives almost all payer revenue from mileage plus BLS and ALS emergency transports rather than from a broad mix of ancillary ambulance services.
On scale, Medicaid is the materially larger payer for this provider: total Medicaid revenue is $6.4M versus total Medicare revenue of $995.8K, so Medicaid represents the dominant source of billed revenue in the dataset. The Medicaid top codes A0425 ($2.5M), A0429 ($2.3M), and A0427 ($1.4M) drive nearly all of that Medicaid revenue, while Medicare receipts for those same codes are $342.2K (A0425), $290.8K (A0429), and $272.8K (A0427).
Competitive standing by code shows above-average volume in both payers for the primary transport services. Nationally for Medicare, A0425 ranks #484 of 8934 (95th percentile), A0429 ranks #813 of 7808 (90th percentile), and A0427 ranks #1381 of 6841 (80th percentile), indicating stronger-than-typical national placement for mileage and emergency BLS/ALS transports but not an extreme outlier. In-state for Medicaid those same codes are similarly prominent: A0425 ranks #10 of 107 (92th percentile), A0429 ranks #6 of 78 (94th percentile), and A0427 ranks #11 of 60 (83th percentile), positioning the provider as a leading Medicaid transport vendor in Minnesota for these services.
Payer-level payment characteristics differ notably: reported average paid/claim for A0425 is $8 on Medicare but $147 on Medicaid, and average paid/claim for A0429 is $413 on Medicare versus $277 on Medicaid as reported. These per-claim differences suggest materially different reimbursement patterns between Medicare and Medicaid for mileage and emergency transport lines and are worth considering when modelling expected unit revenue or contract negotiations.
Service breadth outside emergency transports is limited in reported volume. Medicare shows smaller shares and lower percentiles for non-emergency and specialty codes (for example A0428 Medicare revenue $47.7K at a 50th-percentile rank and A0434 Medicare revenue $31.5K at a 45th-percentile rank), and Medicaid reports modest revenue for non-emergency A0428 ($154.4K) and low counts for specialty transports such as A0434 ($8.6K). This pattern indicates the provider focuses on emergency ground transport with limited non-emergency and specialty-care transport business.
The provider has an established operating history in the Medicare/Medicaid data — NPI enumerated 2007-10-18 (~19 years ago) — which supports interpreting these patterns as durable rather than transient. Given the longevity plus concentrated revenue in core transport codes, the organization presents as a stable regional ambulance operator with entrenched Medicaid volume and above-average Medicare transport volumes.
