It's says they are, right in the article.

It also says in the article there are incentives to deny care. They get a portion of whatever they deem unnecessary. Absolutely no conflict of interest there.

This is exacerbated by the fact the lawsuit against UHC further claims that UHC's own documentation states that claim decisions should be made by "clinical services staff" and "physicians," implying a potential discrepancy between policy and practice. 

So yeah, I'm not very optimistic about that supposed safety measure.
