How many health insurance claims are denied in the US each day?

I'm working on a documentary about health insurance claims, but can't seem to find a solid statistic about how many (potentially life-saving) treatments are prevented by the insurance claims that are denied by companies. A daily or annual figure would be hugely helpful.
--------------------
Showing just the quantity would be reckless without discussing the quality of the claims - but I guess that what "document"aries have become now. Find anecdotes and comment on them instead. You'd still get the same point across, it would be more powerful to most audiences, and you would have truth on your side. Both liberals and conservatives twist statistics, and it just devalues the whole conversation. You may find some government studies on this, but since this type of information is private, I doubt you'd find anything better than a guess. Good luck.
