CHRISTIANA FIRE COMPANY operates as an ambulance-focused provider (Ambulance taxonomy) with service mix concentrated in basic life support emergency transports and ground mileage; A0429 (BLS-emergency) generates $645.3K (90.1% of Medicare revenue) on Medicare and $708.6K (88.5% of Medicaid revenue) on Medicaid, while mileage codes A0425 and A0380 contribute the remaining material share of billed transport activity. The prominence of A0429 across both payers indicates primary operational focus on emergency BLS ambulance transports rather than non-emergency or interfacility ALS services.
Revenue is highly concentrated within very few codes: the top 3 Medicare codes account for 100.0% of this provider's Medicare revenue and the top 3 Medicaid codes account for 99.5% of Medicaid revenue. This concentration means overall reimbursement is materially tied to a small set of transport and mileage codes, so changes in coverage or payment for those codes would disproportionately affect the provider's topline.
The provider is effectively a dual-payer operator with similar-scale business across programs: lifetime Medicare revenue is $715.1K while lifetime Medicaid revenue is $804.8K, making Medicaid the larger single payer but not by a wide margin. Because both payers show substantial activity, network access, authorization rules, and program-specific reimbursement rates will all influence financial performance.
On Medicare A0429 the provider ranks #201 of 7808 nationally (97th percentile) and is described as notably above typical national volume for this code, marking it as a high-volume national performer for BLS-emergency Medicare billing. By contrast Medicare A0425 (ground mileage) is more typical nationally, ranking #2014 of 8934 (77th percentile), indicating mileage is a secondary but stable contributor on Medicare.
In the state Medicaid market the provider shows exceptional mileage activity and localized strength: A0380 (BLS mileage) is ranked #2 of 51 in-state (98th percentile) and labeled an extreme outlier, signaling unusually high per‑provider mileage billing in-state; A0429 is ranked #4 of 61 (95th percentile) but characterized as typical in-state volume, and A0422 (oxygen supplies) ranks #1 of 9 (100th percentile) and is noted as notably above typical state volume despite its small revenue share ($4.1K, 0.5%).
Claims and per-claim payment patterns highlight operational scale and payer differences: Medicare A0429 shows 1.9K claims at $334 avg paid/claim, while Medicaid A0429 shows 14.2K claims at $50 avg paid/claim, and mileage claims are numerous (Medicare A0425 10.1K claims; Medicaid A0380 10K claims). These counts indicate high-frequency, lower-dollar Medicaid payments per transport compared with higher-dollar Medicare payments per transport, reflecting payer-level reimbursement structure rather than a change in service mix.
The provider has an established operating tenure, with NPI enumeration on 2006-09-21 (~20 years ago), supporting the observed sustained volumes across both Medicare and Medicaid. Long tenure combined with concentrated code volume suggests an entrenched ambulance service with stable referral/dispatch patterns.
Given the dominance of ambulance transport codes (A0429) and mileage (A0425/A0380) in both payers, payers and network managers should treat CHRISTIANA FIRE COMPANY as a transport-specialist provider; utilization monitoring should focus on transport frequency, mileage reporting, and per-claim payment variance between Medicare and Medicaid to understand cost drivers and contract leverage.
