Units Don't Lie
A 40-minute visit gets billed as an hour.
In this scene
Priya: This visit was forty minutes, but four units were billed. That's an hour.
Kevin: Everyone rounds up a little. It's close enough.
Priya: Units follow the real time and the rounding rules in our program manual. Not habit, and never up to the next hour.
