What role do rehabilitation services play in medical expense insurance?

• A. They are never covered.
• B. They are commonly covered if medically necessary; coverage levels vary.
• C. They are always covered at 100%.
• D. They require preauthorization in all cases.

Answer: (B)

Rehabilitation services are included in medical expense insurance benefits when they are medically necessary and prescribed by a clinician. That’s why coverage is described as commonly provided, but the exact amount and conditions vary by policy. Different plans set their own rules for how much is covered, how much you pay out of pocket (deductibles, copays, coinsurance), and any limits on visits or total benefits. Some services or providers might require preauthorization, while others do not; this isn’t universal. So rehab is typically covered if medically necessary, but the specific coverage levels depend on the policy.
