My wife's grandmother while being treated for cancer last year, was literally taken by ambulance (god only knows why) from one side of the medical campus to a building on the other side (3 minute ride) for around $9K. This is Chicago, so hopefully not typical. :-D

Liability.

Same thing happened to my wife and I asked why I couldn't just put her in a wheelchair and push her across the parking lot. Since she hadn't been discharged, she was still in their care so if anything happened, they would be legally liable. However, either insurance took care of it somehow, or the hospital never charged for it because it didn't show up on the bill.
