ABOUT TRISTAR

TRISTAR was founded out of a partnership between John Anderson and Tom Veale that began in 1987. Originally named Topa Risk Services, the company began as an insurance program manager and medical malpractice claims administrator. Workers compensation claims management services were added to our offerings in 1989. Growth and change followed, and in 1995 the Company was renamed TRISTAR Risk Management with the involvement of new partner, Don Freeberg. As managed care and benefits administration services were added to our offerings, the organization grew into TRISTAR.

 

Since our early days, we have focused on continually improving our products and services to ensure the best value for our clients which has resulted in providing a strong, secure, and growing organization for our employees and business partners. We are the nation’s largest independent third party claims administrator. We empower more than 1,000 employees in offices throughout the United States, focusing business operations in three divisions: property casualty claims management, benefits administration, and managed care services.

 

PROPERTY & CASUALTY CLAIMS

 

We manage claims for more than 350 alternatively funded entities in both the private and public insurance segments. Within that customer base are thousands of individual insureds who are covered through various insurance carrier and program administrator engagements in which TRISTAR functions as the insurer's outsourced claims department. Our claim professionals' personal attention to every client, injured employee and other claimants transform the risks they face into enhanced outcomes for us all. Our results speak for themselves. Our property & casualty claims teams' dedication to our core principles is the reason that we achieve.

We've built our reputation by providing transparent, competitive, and flexible solutions with a personal touch – in short, by setting the standard by which all other administrators are compared. Our clients are large corporations and businesses of all sizes, and the thousands of employees who work for them all. Regardless of the size or the nature of the business, our responsibility is to develop and maintain programs to ensure the continued health and well-being of working people. We believe that integrity, expertise, and dedication will provide the foundation for achieving our vision.
