Lodestar Launches as Independent TPA Brand Within Old Republic

April 13, 2026

Old Republic International Corporation announced the launch of Lodestar Claims & Risk Services, Inc. as an independent brand and standalone operating company within Old Republic, marking the first time in more than 30 years that the organization’s third-party administrator (TPA) business will operate with its own distinct identity in the marketplace.

Previously part of PMA Companies, the business operated as the insurance carrier’s TPA division.

Lodestar is a national TPA providing claims administration and risk services to middle-market and large employers, national carriers, and distribution partners across all 50 states.

The transition reflects a strategic decision by Old Republic to position its TPA business for continued growth and expanded market visibility, while enabling Lodestar to further strengthen its role as a national provider of claims and risk services and deepen relationships with clients.

Lodestar’s operations, leadership team, and service model remain unchanged. Clients and partners will continue working with the same claims professionals and teams they rely on today.
