I don't think that more minutes of contact is better for anybody.

As a patient, I want to spend as little time with a doctor as possible and still receive maximally useful treatment.

As a doctor, I would want to extract maximal comp from insurance which I don't think is tied time spent with the patient, rather to a number of different treatments given.

Also please note that in most western world medical personnel is currently massively overprovisioned and so reducing their overall workload would likely lead to better result per treatment given.
