I can also see how the outside contact (Sunday calls) feels more like a proof of care vs. sessions, because you pay for those (I assume you don't pay for the calls?) Ex-MC's calls, texts, and emails with me felt like caring because he didn't charge me for them, plus the fact that he was willing to communicate with me individually. It made me feel special. With Dr. T, the fact that he charges for longer emails, that didn't feel as caring to me. But most of the time he doesn't charge me, and that feels more caring, especially since he always replies.
