UHC is a business. They have profit goals like every business. When they miss their objectives they go to the doctors and cut costs, usually by asking them to take a lower payment for certain procedures. If the doctor refuses or can't because they just built a new building or expanded staff or some reason, then UHC will find another provider and drop them. It happens all the time.
Always remember that the doctor doing your surgery is the one who agreed with the insurance company to do it for the lowest cost.
