Medical billing isn't billed by time in those office visit settings. It's billed by the reason for visit. It's coded according to the acuity level of the patient.

Different insurance plans have different contract rates with medical groups.

And high deductible plans just pay their insurance contract rate until they meet that defined deductible.

The EOB literally says "15 minute standard visit".
