Note: A new fee structure and billing accounts have been added to capture the costs of covering vehicle mishaps, structural fires and other emergency responses. Estimated revenue from insurance coverage for such activities is in the $75,000 per year range. Processing the claims creates an increased workload for the EMS Billing Clerk and more than offsets the increased salary and benefit expenses.
