When South Louisiana residents and families enroll or renew Acadian memberships, it provides peace of mind about emergency care while unlocking numerous other benefits.

This year’s enrollment deadline is Friday, September 9 for the coverage period that extends from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023.

A year-long membership is $84 for an individual or family, $69 for someone with traditional Medicare and a supplemental policy or $84 for someone with only Medicare or a Medicare HMO. Family memberships include the applicant, spouse and children up to 26 years old.

Acadian memberships include a 30% discount on billed ambulance charges in the Acadian service area, a free security system startup fee with a new activation of an Acadian Total Security service, 10% savings on monthly monitoring rates of Acadian On Call medical alert systems, exclusive access to a specialized customer service and billing assistance phone line, and access to thousands of discounted products and services from local and national businesses.

“Having an Acadian membership is even more important during economic downturns. Acadian memberships not only provide an extra layer of protection and savings should you need our ambulance service, but also offer savings on products and services you use every day. In addition to discounts on security systems and personal emergency response devices from Acadian, our members have access to a vast discount program with savings on more than 4,500 products and services,” said Randall Mann, Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations for Acadian Companies.

The discounts are available for local, national and online-based businesses, many of which provide everyday goods and services. For example, Acadian membership discounts can be applied to certain hotels, car rental companies, gyms, clothing and jewelry retailers, automotive businesses, electronic stores, and restaurants.

“An Acadian membership truly brings more value and savings to your family than it costs,” Mann said.

The membership program has been a core part of Acadian since the company was started in 1971. In addition to providing benefits to members, the program allows Acadian to give back to the community in multiple ways. For example, those who attend local high school football games, other sporting events, and community gatherings will often see Acadian personnel on hand and ready to handle any emergency that arises.

Acadian memberships may be purchased or renewed online at www.acadian.com/membership or by calling 1-800-256-JOIN (5646).

Acadian includes six divisions: Acadian Ambulance, Acadian Total Security, Acadian Air Med, Executive Aircraft Charter Service, the National EMS Academy, and Safety Management Systems.
