Donated Dental Services (DDS) is a collaborative, direct way that the dental profession reaches out to people with disabilities or who are elderly or medically at-risk and cannot afford dental care. DDS is a program of Dental Lifeline Network – New Jersey . With more than 700 volunteer dentists, it is one of the largest DDS programs in the United States . 

Participation is easy. Volunteer dentists treat the patients in their own offices and on their own schedules. A DDS Coordinator screens and matches patients with dentists. Volunteer dentists choose to see or decline any patient, determine their own treatment plan and are not responsible for lab costs. The Coordinator arranges for assistance from laboratories and specialists and handles all paperwork.

The goal of DDS is to return patients to good oral health through comprehensive treatment. Thousands of vulnerable people have no access to dental care which is not covered by Medicare and very rarely by adult Medicaid. Nationally, through DDS more than 15,000 volunteer dentists and 3,200 laboratories have donated over $200 million in treatment to more than 100,000 patients.

The SAIP is an initiative to help make auto insurance available to drivers who are likely to go uninsured because of limited financial resources.

The SAIP can be obtained at most insurance agencies. If you're not sure how to get one, you can call the Personal Automobile Insurance Plan (PAIP) or search for a PAIP producer by clicking the link listed.

The policy costs $360 if you pay up front or $365 in two installments. Emergency treatment immediately following an accident and treatment of serious brain and spinal cord injuries up to $250,000. It also provides a $10,000 death benefit.

Outpatient treatments such as doctors' visits covered by Medicaid, damage you may cause to other persons or property (liability coverage), or damages to your own car (collision and comprehensive coverages). The applicant must demonstrate enrollment in Medicaid when the policy is first written and at each renewal. If the insured is no longer enrolled in Medicaid during the policy term the policy will not cancel, but the insured will receive only the limited benefits of the policy.

The policy only covers those enrolled in Medicaid. If there is one car and several people in the household enrolled in Medicaid, they can all be covered by the same policy. However, there can only be one car per policy. You cannot get a policy if your driver's license or registration is revoked or suspended.

In addition to driver's licenses for all operators of the vehicle to be insured and the vehicle's registration, you need to bring a Medicaid identification card that shows that all persons to be covered under the policy are enrolled in Medicaid. Any person who includes any false or misleading information on an application for an insurance policy is subject to criminal and civil penalties.
