> For additional services, but what about Part A and Part B? Seems that Advantage plans get similar pricing to traditional:

Parts A and B are Original Medicare. If you're on Medicare Advantage, it replaces Part A/B coverage.

(It's also a bit more complicated than that, because Medicare Advantage plans are provided by the same private insurers who cover non-Medicare patients, and they'll structure their agreements in such a way that the extra payments are hidden. For example, "for every Medicare Advantage patient of ours you see, we'll reimburse an additional X% for non-Medicare patient" - it's not literally like that or that explicit, but that's the shape of how it shakes out).
