Insurance Mess

Not even 24 hours and already I'm looking at a potentially complicated insurance mess.  We got a memo this afternoon at work announcing that the company will be switching insurance providers beginning July 1. Most likely, that means that the clinic will have to submit the authorization request for the operation to the new carrier. What I'm still trying to find out is if they can submit the request to the new carrier before the switch over, or if I'll have to wait until July 1 to begin the request.

Based on what I've been told in the clinic's information, it normally takes about 4 weeks for an insurance company to respond to the request. Based on that, I was expecting that surgery would probably be scheduled the second week of July. Right now, I don't know when to expect it.
