HAWAII LIFE FLIGHT, LLC operates as a fixed‑wing air ambulance specialist: its top Medicare and Medicaid revenue drivers are air-transport and mileage codes A0430 and A0435, consistent with a business model focused on conventional air services and statute-mile billing. For Medicare A0430 generated $351.5K (76.7% of the provider's Medicare revenue) and A0435 generated $106.7K (23.3%), while for Medicaid A0430 generated $322.6K (87.2% of the provider's Medicaid revenue) and A0435 generated $47.4K (12.8%).
Revenue is highly concentrated in a narrow code set for both payers: the precomputed top three Medicare codes account for 100.0% of the provider's Medicare revenue, and the precomputed top three Medicaid codes account for 100.0% of the provider's Medicaid revenue. This concentration indicates the organization’s financial performance is driven almost exclusively by air transport and related mileage services rather than a broader mix of CPT/HCPCS lines.
HAWAII LIFE FLIGHT bills meaningful but not large absolute volumes to both programs: total Medicare revenue is $458.5K while total Medicaid revenue is $370K, so the provider participates in both payers rather than operating as a single‑payer shop. The two payers are comparable in scale on the life‑time revenue totals supplied, with Medicare representing the larger single source at the figures reported.
Payer price and claim‑count patterns differ materially by code: Medicare shows 78 claims for A0430 at an average paid per claim of $4506, whereas Medicaid shows 128 claims for A0430 at an average paid per claim of $2520, highlighting lower average Medicaid payments for the same transport code. For the mileage code A0435 Medicare reports 8.9K claims at $12 avg paid/claim while Medicaid reports 98 claims at $484 avg paid/claim, indicating very different unitization or payment structures between the two programs for mileage billing.
Competitive standing by code is modest to low: nationally A0430 ranks #38 of 92 providers (58th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume) and A0435 ranks #68 of 92 (26th percentile; typical, unremarkable volume), which together position the provider as a non‑dominant national participant for these fixed‑wing services. Within the state, A0430 ranks #6 of 7 providers (17th percentile) and A0435 ranks #5 of 6 providers (20th percentile), signaling relatively low in‑state market share for the same top codes.
Operationally, the dominance of A0430 revenue (76.7% of Medicare revenue and 87.2% of Medicaid revenue) implies that one‑way fixed‑wing transports are the core revenue engine, with mileage billing via A0435 representing a secondary but necessary revenue stream. This mix suggests the entity’s margins and utilization patterns will be sensitive to transport volume and payer mileage reimbursement policies.
The provider’s NPI was enumerated on 2017-11-07 (~9 years ago), indicating several years of operational history under the current billing profile; that tenure provides a modest claims history for trend and comparative analysis. Analysts seeking longitudinal shifts should compare earlier and later periods around this enumeration date but can treat the provider as established rather than brand new.
Both top codes are described in the source as having “typical, unremarkable volume” in their respective rank/percentile notes across payers, and no code is flagged as an extreme outlier in the provided data. That labeling aligns with the rank positions and suggests billing volumes are within expected ranges for comparable air ambulance providers rather than being statistically exceptional.
