The common tardiness of doctors in appointments is a function of their practices (and financial issues) causing them to schedule patients in 15 minute appointments (typically), and patients rarely fit things in under 15 minutes.  The need for insurance (and other) documentation on every single visit is a wonderful gift to the medical practice from former President Obama's meddling in the American health care system, with mandates for electronic health care records. In the old days, they'd just take a photocopy of your insurance card and other particulars, and put it in your file. With electronic health care records (EHR's) and computer systems, most of these software systems lack the ability to keep an image of your insurance card. So they keep asking for it.

Second issue: I can't speak to the policy of their practice(s), but in my work, I cannot call patients on my private cell phone, as it is considered a HIPAA violation. I can call only on the office phone, or a cell phone supplied by my employer.
