This/ My understanding is why some one told the OP Good luck trying to get info here.
Yes, when you sign up for Advantage you no longer have coverage directly through either part A or part B. But the Advantage plan has to, by law, provide all the coverage you would have had with part A and part B. In general Advantage provide coverage beyond what part A and B do. However you still have to pay for part A and B if you have an Advantage plan and what is covered is the same as what would be covered if you had regular Medicare.

See the paragraphs at the beginning of each of these pages.

What Part B covers | Medicare

What Part A covers | Medicare
