I can see that if it’s life and death the ambulance takes you to the nearest hospital. But what I was wondering is if, for example, years ago, I broke my knee cap in Kailua in Hawaii and the ambulance took me to their nearest hospital. But once it was stabilized, I had a choice of where to get surgery. (That hospital was amazing, after I was sent home they called me every day two times a day to see how I was doing.) I never had that experience once I’ve been discharged before.

The reason I am asking this question because my insurer wants to guide me to certain hospitals, I would like to chose my own and if that hospital is not on their list, I go with a different insurance company.
