GUARDIAN FLIGHT LLC is an Anchorage, AK–based Air Ambulance operator (taxonomy: Air Ambulance) with an NPI enumerated 2017-08-23 (~9 years ago). Its reported billing profile centers on fixed‑wing air-ambulance activity, as evidenced by the dominance of A0435 (fixed wing air mileage) and A0430 (conventional fixed wing one-way transport) across payers.
Revenue concentration is extreme by code: the precomputed top-3 codes account for 100.0% of this provider's total Medicare revenue, with A0435 representing 53.0% and A0430 representing 47.0% of Medicare receipts. This indicates nearly all Medicare payments are tied to mileage and one-way fixed‑wing transports rather than a broader set of service codes.
Medicaid revenue is similarly concentrated: the precomputed top-3 codes account for 100.0% of this provider's total Medicaid revenue, with A0435 at 55.7% and A0430 at 44.3% of Medicaid receipts. The Medicaid mix mirrors Medicare in code types, reinforcing that GUARDIAN FLIGHT’s business is narrowly focused on fixed-wing mileage and one-way transports for public payers.
Payer mix is heavily skewed toward state Medicaid in scale: total Medicare revenue is $1.9M while total Medicaid revenue is $13.5M. This provider is effectively Medicaid-dominant in dollar volume, so state reimbursement rates and Medicaid contract terms will likely drive overall revenue performance more than Medicare.
Medicare competitive standing is national but not exceptional: A0435 ranks #10 of 92 providers nationally (90th percentile) and A0430 ranks #14 of 92 (86th percentile), with both entries labeled "typical, unremarkable volume." Those placements indicate above-average national activity for these fixed-wing codes without being statistical extremes.
In-state (Medicaid) competitive standing is strong: both A0435 and A0430 rank #2 of 12 providers in-state and are reported at the 91th percentile, characterized as "typical, unremarkable volume." Ranking as #2 statewide signals GUARDIAN FLIGHT is a leading fixed-wing Medicaid provider in Alaska for these services.
Billing pattern nuances differ sharply by payer: for Medicare A0435 shows 82.8K claims at $12 avg paid/claim while A0430 shows 200 claims at $4407 avg paid/claim, indicating a high-frequency, low-dollar mileage billing stream alongside low-frequency, high-dollar one-way transports. By contrast, Medicaid shows more balanced claim counts—A0435 at 3.5K claims with $2172 avg paid/claim and A0430 at 3.4K claims with $1750 avg paid/claim—meaning Medicaid reimburses substantially higher per‑claim amounts for mileage and treats both codes as significant per-claim revenue drivers.
The narrow code mix and heavy reliance on A0435 and A0430 imply operational sensitivity to changes in air-mileage reimbursement and transport authorization. With top codes constituting 100.0% of revenue for both payers and Medicaid dominating total dollars, shifts in state policy, mileage rates, or transport utilization would materially affect GUARDIAN FLIGHT’s revenue profile.
