Why am I asked the same questions at each visit regarding contact information and advance directives?

Why did I receive two bills?

Your monthly statements include charges from Brodstone Healthcare, Brodstone Family Medical Center – Superior, Brodstone Family Medical Center – Nelson, and Brodstone Family Medical Center – Edgar.
