Basis Partners with TruStage™ to Offer Enhanced Buy Now, Pay Later Solutions for Dental Care

New York, NY – Basis, a pioneering provider of flexible and transparent financing options for dental care, is excited to announce a new partnership with TruStageTM, is a financially strong insurance, investment, and technology provider. This collaboration may change the way patients manage the cost of dental health, integrating reliable insurance coverage with innovative Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) solutions.

“At Basis, our mission has always been to make dental care affordable and stress-free for our patients,” said Stefan Sharma, CEO of Basis. “Partnering with TruStage allows us to enhance our financing options by adding a layer of insurance protection that ensures our patients can access the care they need without financial worry.”

With decades of experience, TruStage’s products can help provide peace of mind and have been designed with the consumer’s needs at heart. This partnership will allow Basis patients to enjoy insurance coverage, through Guard Insurance, that complements their flexible payment plans, providing an extra safety net for their dental care journey.

Key Benefits for Basis Patients Include:

  • Enhanced Protection: Coverage that works seamlessly with Basis payment plans.
  • Peace of Mind: Helping to secure financial wellbeing against unexpected circumstances that could impact dental health.
  • Simplicity and Convenience: Payment Guard is straightforward, hassle-free and is included as a part of Basis’s payment plans at no cost to the borrower.
  • Hassle-free Benefit Payments: Benefit payments are applied directly to the borrower’s outstanding loan balance.

Patients who choose a BNPL plan for their dental treatment are automatically covered by Payment Guard at no cost to them, gaining immediate coverage from the start of their treatment. Payment Guard insurance will pay a benefit to help reduce the patient’s outstanding loan balance in the case of covered job loss or disability. This coverage helps patients focus on getting back on their feet in case of an unexpected loss in income.

“Through this partnership with Basis, we are thrilled to extend our reach into the dental care sector, providing essential coverage that enhances patients’ financial security and wellbeing,” said Danielle Sesko, director of Product Management, TruStage. “Our insurance solutions are designed to be easy to understand and use, ensuring patients can focus on what truly matters—their health and happiness.”
