As someone who's been a patient with health insurance for the past 63 years, I can't remember the last time my health insurance denied a claim made by me or my doctor on my behalf for treatment. Does that mean everyone who claims they were denied is lying? If so, then wouldn't that also imply that your claim that you've ever had a claim denied in 40 years is also a lie?
OR - more realistic - personal anecdotes mean bubkes. Your uhc group may only take people that you know will have their issues approved in advance. Pre-approvals, coordination between specialists and pcps - continuity of care, end all that sort of thing, can make it such that the odds of success is high when everything is communicating with each other.
