Medicare AdvantageMedicare Advantage
These plans are structured to resemble conventional health insurance and utilize a network of HMO and PPO providers. Medicare Advantage plans are distinct from gap plans and are fundamentally different from Medicare Supplements. They include co-pays, maximum out-of-pocket limits, and deductibles.

Absolutely LOVE the TideWater AEP roadshows.. Ronnie always go above and beyond to educate us!!
From the moment I spoke with Mike and Janna at Tidewater, they have treated me like family. They have gone above and beyond to help me grow my business and educate me not only about the marketing aspects but also the contractual side of the industry. For that, I am extremely grateful. Tidewater is simply the best FMO out there, and I would recommend all of my fellow agents to reach out to them for assistance.
The entire Tidewater team has been great to work with and very supportive. If you’re an agent looking for a FMO to partner with, you should strongly consider Tidewater Management Group.
Mike Newton and his team are an incredible group to work with. They are always transparent and honest about what they can help you with. Their training is top notch and always informative.
Michael and his team are absolutely amazing. He is very knowledgeable about Medicare and annuities. You can’t go wrong in the hands of this team. I highly recommend them!!
The Best there is as an FMO! I truly would not be where I am if it wasn’t for Mike Newton!! The Best in the industry!!!
Couldn’t be more pleased with my partnership with TMG. Everyone at the Raleigh office is more than happy to offer their guidance and support through any obstacle I may come across. They have provided so much training through their website and social media accounts. They’ve reached out during crucial enrollment periods offering a helping hand if needed as well as throwing some amazing leads my way. Thanks TMG family!!
Tidewater is great to work with and I enjoy being around the leaders that are so knowledgeable and personable at the same time. They really have it together.
Any time I have questions someone is always available for answers. Definitely have to credit my success to this team!
Totally impressed with the quick responses to all my inquiries during the recent Medicare AEP. This is so important when schedules are hectic.
Working with Tidewater has been great! the trainings are on point and Ronnie James is wonderful at answering questions and following up!!
I finally got to meet Mike Newton of Tidewater Management Group OFFLINE. He is as genuine as one could get both online and offline. I was privileged to also meet Mike's father, Gary, at Medicare and Margaritas. Mike poured his knowledge into the attendees and he did not hold back. I learned a lot for sure. I'm sure it made Mike so happy to see his father light up knowing what Medicare opportunities are available for him as well.
I'm updating this post, because I had a couple representatives from Tidewater reach out to me, regarding the delay in my release. For this particular carrier, it takes a little longer, due to having to go through another upline. They let me know the process of what was needed, and they sent me the paperwork to take care of the release. Everything is all good now, especially since they provided me the reason for the delay.
This Agency is phenomenal I know I made the right decision . Tidewater is elite! The first time I met Mike Newton in person it was a great experience. I could feel his genuine energy ! They give great support !
Grateful to be managed by this group… They are there when I need them for anything..

Mike Newton at Tidewater has been such a great aid to me. He is quick to reply, supportive, honest, and not pushy; all which I value tremendously. He has given me great advice on ways to grow my business and has encouraged me to keep the "20 mile march".
As a new agent wanting to grow my business, and do it the right way, I am very thankful I found Tidewater Management.
