Question:
What's the differnce between Medicare insurance and Voc Rehab insurance?

today, Dr. Shina's office said they would accept Medicare but NOT Voc Rehab. Can anyone tell me the difference???    — Brenda M. (posted on April 23, 2002)

Brenda, Voc Rehab is not insurance. The Department of Vocational Rehabilitation exists to help people who have had a physical or mental problem which prevents them from working get back into the work force. For example, I know of someone who was in a construction accident and was no longer able to work in construction, who got re-trained for a new kind of job. So, in SOME states, not all, they will pay for someone to have surgery so they can become physically able to get and keep a job.
