We are hiring a Fire Claims Billing Specialist in Terrell, Texas.

We recently published a piece on how fire and inspection billing helps Texas cities recover the cost of essential public safety services: https://emergifire.com/blog/fire-inspection-billing-services-emergifire/

You will manage fire incident claims end to end: retrieving incident data, verifying and submitting claims to carriers, processing payments, and following up until claims are resolved. You will also spend real time on the phone with adjusters, insured drivers and business owners, explaining why this work is legitimate and why it matters.

What we are looking for:
*At least one year in fire incident claims processing or a related field
*Familiarity with fire terminology and report structure
*Intermediate Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel and Outlook
*Accuracy, organization and a professional phone presence

Most cities assume a new billing program means months of setup.

For fire inspection billing, it can be one business day.

There is typically no complex software integration involved. EMERGIFIRE
connects to your existing Records Management System, pulls the completed inspection, generates the invoice under your department’s logo, and handles collections and customer service from there.

Your inspectors keep inspecting. Everything after that is ours.

“Inspections aren’t something that a business should fear. There’s a purpose behind it.”

In our latest blog, EmergiFire Manager Tori Willoughby takes us inside fire inspection and permit billing, and explains how Texas cities can recover the cost of this essential public safety work without adding a single task to their fire marshal’s plate.

A few highlights:

-EMERGIFIRE ties directly into a department’s Records Management System, then handles invoicing, collections, and customer service from there.

-Billing is completely customizable to each city’s ordinance, from re-inspection fees to permits for special events, food trucks, hazmat storage, and more.

-Departments can be up and running in as little as one business day.

Is your EMS agency leaving revenue on the table?

Reimbursement shortfalls almost always trace back to the same culprits: incomplete documentation, downcoded claims, missed secondary insurance billing, and denials that never get worked.

The fix isn't billing more calls. It's billing the calls you already run, better.

EMERGICON - Texas ambulance billing services’s latest blog breaks down what actually moves the needle on reimbursement rates for Texas EMS agencies. 🚑

New on our blog: the specialized incidents costing Texas fire departments money — and how to stop leaving it on the table.

A commercial barn fire. An EV incident in a fleet parking lot. An oil field emergency in West Texas.

Three very different calls. One thing in common: a commercial insurer with a policy that may cover your department's response costs — personnel time, equipment, suppression materials, and more.

Most Texas fire departments are responding to exactly these kinds of incidents and absorbing every dollar of the cost. Not because the money isn't there. Because no one told them to ask for it.

That changes now.

Read the full post to learn which incidents qualify, how the billing works, and why your residents are not on the hook.

Your fire department responded to an electric vehicle fire. Three hours on scene. Specialized suppression materials. Bunker gear that can't go back into service. Who pays for that?

Most departments absorb those costs. They don't have to. EV manufacturers carry insurance policies that can cover fire suppression costs when their vehicles are involved in an incident.

Our companies have been recovering those dollars on behalf of Texas fire and EMS departments for years, from commercial insurers, fleet policies, and vehicle manufacturers. Residents are never billed. Departments get reimbursed for resources they actually spent.

As EV incidents increase across Texas, the departments that know how to capture these costs will be the ones protecting both their communities and their budgets.

Everyone is talking about AI. Here's what that means for your reimbursement.

AI can process a claim in seconds. It cannot read a patient care report and know what the paramedic meant, what the payer requires, and what's missing from the documentation — all at the same time.

That gap costs agencies reimbursement they're owed.
