They don't say what the "established number of minutes" are. Presumably there's a table somewhere. I darkly suspect it's based on the average time -- in which case half of the procedures will go over.
Are the other providers also paid by the minute? I wonder if there's a surgeon going, "Well, that was easy. Let's just hang out here for a few minutes before closing up."
