CAL-ORE LIFE FLIGHT LLC is an emergency ground ambulance operator: its top revenue-driving codes for both Medicare and Medicaid are A0427 (ALS 1 emergency transport) and A0429 (BLS emergency transport), with A0425 (ground mileage) also prominent. The code mix—heavy on emergency ALS/BLS transports and mileage—indicates the business primarily provides urgent interfacility and scene-to-hospital ground ambulance services rather than non-emergency transports. This aligns with its Land Ambulance taxonomy and expected service line for a life-flight/ambulance operator.
Medicare revenue is $902.9K while Medicaid revenue is $705.6K, so the provider draws significant revenue from both payers and is not effectively single-payer; Medicare is the larger source but Medicaid is also material. The two payers are both meaningful to the business’s overall billing profile, suggesting a mixed payer dependence rather than dominance by one program.
Revenue concentration is high on a small set of codes for each payer: the top 3 Medicare codes account for 97.3% of the provider’s Medicare revenue, and the top 3 Medicaid codes account for 92.0% of Medicaid revenue. This indicates the organization’s income is tightly tied to core ambulance transport services (A0427, A0429, A0425 for Medicare; A0427, A0429, A0998/A0425 for Medicaid) and that changes in reimbursement or utilization of these few services would materially affect total revenue.
For Medicare, A0427 accounts for $471.4K (52.2% of Medicare revenue) and A0429 for $232.5K (25.8%), with A0425 mileage contributing $174.9K (19.4%). Nationally, the provider ranks in the upper deciles for these codes (A0427 at the 89th percentile, A0429 at the 88th, A0425 at the 88th), which characterizes CAL-ORE as a solid, above-typical-volume participant on these common ambulance codes rather than an outlier or dominant national leader. The percentile ranks suggest typical regional operational scale for emergency ground transports among peers.
In the state Medicaid market, A0427 generated $424.7K (60.1% of Medicaid revenue) and A0429 $144.7K (20.5%), with A0998 (response and treatment, no transport) contributing $80.1K (11.3%). In-state ranks are middling: A0427 sits at the 51st percentile and A0429 at the 46th percentile among Oregon peers, indicating the provider operates at an average volume within the state for these emergency codes rather than being a clear statewide leader.
The presence of A0998 as a top Medicaid revenue source (11.3% of Medicaid revenue) highlights that a notable share of Medicaid activity is response-and-treat encounters without transport; this suggests the provider’s operational model includes on-scene care and non-transport responses in addition to transports, which can affect resource allocation and cost structure differently than transport-only operations.
Tenure: the NPI was enumerated on 2021-06-17 (approximately 5 years ago), so the provider has a relatively recent but multi-year presence in claims data. This tenure is sufficient to establish stable patterns across Medicare and Medicaid billing, but the organization is newer than long-established ambulance providers, which may factor into competitive positioning and network relationships.
Across both payers, mileage (A0425) is a consistent revenue line—accounting for 19.4% of Medicare revenue and 8.0% of Medicaid revenue—indicating longer-distance or frequent transports are a meaningful part of operations. Because mileage is billed per statute mile, this profile is consistent with a rural or regional service footprint where trips cover larger distances, which is consistent with a Brookings, OR location serving dispersed populations.
