Sometime in October of 2022 I had a seizure at work. I was unable to deny medical care as I was mostly unconscious and so I was transported to a hospital by Acadian. I have seizures regularly so Im used to it and do not need any medical care. Regardless, I was charged $1300. I did not make a lot of money and could not afford this charge, I did not submit to being transported in the first place. On May 7th, 2024 I had another seizure and again was transported against my will to a hospital by Acadian, this time they tried to charge me $3500. I obviously did not pay these charges as I did not consent to it in any manner. I have not signed any contract to consent to services. My credit score is now ruined because of Acadian taking advantage of injured people.Review from Aaron C

First of note... This business was acquired by Acadiana in January.In late November last year I suffered a fall down a flight of stairs at my new home in the dark. I picked myself up and drove myself to my local hospital emergency room, a hospital where I am on the medical staff. After some ct scans the ** doc determined I had broken most of my orbital floor (eye socket bones) on the left. He transferred me to a level 1 trauma center (***********) in *********** for a higher level of care. I offered to drive myself but even though I'd received no medicines, he adamantly refused and demanded I allow myself to be transported by ambulance. I was subsequently billed some $3500 which my insurance refused to pay (out of network) for this "service" though I was being transported in an emergency to a higher level of care from a hospital that was in network after offering to drive myself. Rather than go through collections I simply paid it.I have already addressed this reprehensible behavior with the emergency room doctor who referred me when I ran into him in the doctors lounge at the hospital, and he apologized for them. I suspect this is the biggest club I have with respect to their reputation in the medical community and more consequential than a BBB review.
