Wasn’t there any article a few days ago explaining that it was the anaesthesiologist who would be taking the bill and it was all an effort to stop medical professionals overcharging?

Surgeons and anesthesiologists doing the surgery need to be the only voices estimating how long surgeries need to be, and should not be punished, nor their suffering patients, for their expert opinions on how long it will take to do it right.
Different patients of different/ages/states/complications will take differing amounts of time for the same procedure, not to mention unforseeable complications during said surgeries.
