My surgery date is January 23, 2018

So… I got my surgery date and my surgeon just submitted my paperwork to insurance. Do people usually get the date before you actually get approval? Did they have to pick a date so that they could send it to insurance along with all the other documentation?

My doctor's office actually gives a date first as well and then it submits the papwork to the insurance company.
