GUARDIAN FLIGHT LLC operates as an air ambulance/fixed-wing transport provider, as reflected by its top revenue-driving codes A0430 (one-way fixed wing transport) and A0435 (fixed wing air mileage). The code mix—almost exclusively A0430 and A0435 for both payers—indicates the organization’s service line is centered on fixed-wing patient transports rather than ground ambulance or broad outpatient services.
Revenue concentration is extremely high: the precomputed top-3 Medicare codes account for 100.0% of Medicare revenue and the precomputed top-3 Medicaid codes account for 100.0% of Medicaid revenue. Within those totals, Medicare revenue is driven by A0430 (63.3%) and A0435 (36.7%), while Medicaid revenue is driven by A0430 (57.0%) and A0435 (43.0%), showing virtually all payer revenue is captured by these two transport codes.
Payer mix is heavily skewed toward Medicaid in scale: this provider reports Total Medicaid revenue of $6.9M compared with Total Medicare revenue of $471.7K, so Medicaid receipts dominate the revenue picture. This imbalance suggests the provider’s operational exposure and reimbursement sensitivity are concentrated in the Medicaid program.
Nationally for Medicare, GUARDIAN FLIGHT’s volume on its top codes is modest: A0430 ranks #41 of 92 providers nationally (54th percentile) and A0435 ranks #43 of 92 (54th percentile), both described as typical, unremarkable volume. These ranks indicate the provider is not a dominant national player for these Medicare air-ambulance codes but sits near the middle of the national distribution.
In-state competitive standing for Medicaid is a mid-tier position: both A0430 and A0435 rank #5 of 12 providers in New Mexico (64th percentile) and are labeled typical, unremarkable volume. That positioning suggests GUARDIAN FLIGHT is a meaningful but not leading Medicaid fixed-wing transporter within the state market.
There are notable discrepancies in reported average paid per claim for the same codes across payers that likely reflect different rate structures or billing conventions: A0430 shows $4031 avg paid/claim on Medicare versus $1773 avg paid/claim on Medicaid, while A0435 shows $12 avg paid/claim on Medicare versus $1345 avg paid/claim on Medicaid. These large per-claim differences merit attention when modeling revenue per trip or reconciling claim-level payments between Medicare and Medicaid.
Ancillary supply billing is negligible: A0398 (Als routine disposable supplies) appears in Medicaid with 16 claims and $0 avg paid/claim producing $0 revenue, ranking #4 of 4 providers in-state (0th percentile). This indicates supplies are not a material revenue stream for this provider and that supply items are either not reimbursed or are bundled into the transport payments.
The provider has an NPI enumerated on 2017-08-28 (~9 years ago), indicating it has been in the Medicare/Medicaid billing system for several years. Given the concentrated code mix and multi-year presence, analysts should treat GUARDIAN FLIGHT as an established, specialized fixed-wing transport operator with most financial exposure tied to Medicaid reimbursement trends.
