Can I have a scheduled C-Section at a hospital my doctor doesn't have privileges at and have a different doctor do the surgery? If so, how do I go about scheduling the surgery with the hospital?

Talk to the doctor doing it...but first make sure your insurance will accept that hospital and that doctor before you do, and you have any referrals if needed.. Or you might be in for a rude surprise when you get the bill.
No, you can't. It is the doctor's office who schedules the C Sexyion with the hospital. If your doctor doesn't have privileges at that hospital his office cannot schedule the section.

Your doctor could refer you to another doctor, but in that case, you would basically be changing doctors.
