Yep, they sure do. I have seen it in action myself. My mom had some serious health issues a few years back. Her doctor found a medicine that worked great for her, but it was expensive so the insurance company said they wouldn't pay for it unless she had already tried two others from a list they had provided. she had tried one and it didn't work. Her doctor had to take her off the one that worked and try another for 30 days. It didn't work as well as the good one so only then would they pay for it but now the will only pay for it every 30 days. Not 29 days. So if the 30th day falls on a sunday when her pharmacy is closed, she is out of luck for that day.
Pretty wild.
