The last time I spoke with an agent
The last time I spoke with an agent, she was very impatient with me. I had to litterally asked her to be patient. It took her a while to stop and listen to understand what I was asking.

KTS has been a great help in my mom's…
KTS has been a great help in my mom's pooled income trust. Occasionally, there are glitches with uploading bills but for the most part all the issues get resolved. KTS gives peace of mind that my mom's bill will be handled in a timely manner and alleviates the pressure of having all the bills paid on time.

We're here to handle the bills reliably so families don't have to worry. Please reach out anytime if there's anything more we can do!
KTS has been a great resource
KTS has been a great resource for our family as we work through an older relative’s serious health situation, and the community Medicaid process. All trust payments are processed promptly, and their communication is excellent. We long ago switched from a different trust provider to KTS, because the other provider simply could not deliver. KTS has exceeded our expectations. If you are dealing with subpar service at a different provider, you need to switch to KTS. You will be amazed at the level of service KTS provides.

Highly Recommend!
It's a good feeling knowing that every month the bills are being handled with a method that has Medicaid approval. Everyone I`ve dealt with at KTS have been kind and courteous and would always make sure I felt satisfied with answers to questions I had. Mom and I would be in a worse situation if not for the pooled trust. The fees are well worth the service. Highly Recommend!

Very expensive
They know families are forced to have this kind of service and they’re more than willing to overcharge. We pay 6.5% fee each month plus another annual fee.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns, Tex. We did try to locate your account in our system but weren't able to find anyone under that name. We also want to clarify that we don't have a 6.5% fee structure, so there may be some confusion about the pooled trust you're working with.
We understand that navigating Medicaid and pooled trust services can feel overwhelming, especially during difficult times. However, we've been fortunate to serve many families over the years who have found real value in what we provide. As you can see from the many positive reviews we've received, our clients appreciate the responsiveness, professionalism, and compassion our team brings to their situations. For most families, having a pooled trust isn't about being forced into something, but rather finding a solution that helps them access the home care benefits they desperately need during a challenging time.
If you are indeed a client of ours and would like to discuss your specific concerns, we'd be more than happy to look into this further. Please feel free to reach out to us directly and ask to speak with Sam so we can better understand your situation and help resolve any issues.
