Doctors asked her about her race she said white. They then asked her ethnicity and she said still white (lol) they said no you are either Hispanic Puerto Rican or non Hispanic. What a joke this all is.

As someone who used to have to identify these things per my occupation, the US Government has designations of White Hispanic and White Non-Hispanic. Your wife, being European, could identify as either simply white, or White Hispanic, because she is European and she is White Hispanic unless she has African or Asian or Indigenous ancestors and wants to claim that. The doctor's office doesn't know what they are talking about.
You can be Hispanic and be from several countries, not just Puerto Rico and Mexico. Again, your doctor's office must be stupid or running some kind of scam.
