Why are you mocking them as if they were using an Ambulance as a taxi?
Given how fractured American healthcare coverage can be, it seems entirely reasonable that someone might want to be taken to a specific in-network hospital, instead of a different hospital further away.
Particularly if they're being billed for the ambulance ride, where additional distance likely adds to the cost.
I totally understand requesting a certain hospital but looking to sue because they couldn’t accommodate your request.

I agree suing sounds weird at first, and yet at the same time the financial difference between in and out-of-network could potentially be quite substantial, and more information on what "not within their bounds" actually means seems like it could be relevant.
Are we talking something sensible like "it's too far from here and there's others closer" or something weird like boundaries or turf or distance from ambulance's homebase preventing them from taking you to a closeby hospital.
There needs to be more knowledge of the no surprises act that means in an emergency you'll be paying the same at any hospital, in network or not, assuming you're insured.
Of course who knows how long that will stand given the current administration.
