KTP Advisors

What KTP Advisors does

KTP Advisors is a privately-held, conflict-free advisory firm founded in 2002 and headquartered in Newport, Rhode Island, that specializes exclusively in retiree health and pharmacy benefits for Taft-Hartley funds, labor unions, and municipalities. The firm delivers consulting services across three interconnected modules: Advisory Services (strategic planning, cost forecasting, ERISA/Medicare regulatory guidance), Plan Management (plan design, vendor/carrier selection and negotiation, performance monitoring), and Administrative Support (HRA/COBRA/FSA administration, prescription drug auditing, data analytics, retiree communications). Its core technology is proprietary financial analysis and cost-modeling tooling used to illustrate the impact of plan changes on retiree finances, rather than a scaled software platform.

The firm generates revenue exclusively through flat-dollar advisory fees, which can be built into premiums for fully-insured plans or invoiced separately, and explicitly does not accept carrier or PBM bonuses, commissions, or marketing dollars — positioning its compensation as fully transparent. KTP operates a relationship-based, sales-led go-to-market focused on multi-employer union benefit funds and municipal governments, with multi-year contracts that embed it deeply within client fiduciary processes. The firm's flagship client relationship is its exclusive advisor mandate with the Delaware Valley Health Care Coalition (DVHCC), the largest Taft-Hartley coalition in the U.S. with 250+ union groups and 3 million members, which provides both direct service revenue and downstream referral flow. KTP has also established Promise Labor Benefits as a sister company to extend group Medicare Advantage solutions to retirees without fund-sponsored coverage.
