It could be a regional lingo thing, but at least up here cover is usually referenced when you have distance from soil grade to (most often bottom) rebar, vs clearance which can be distance from top of slab or edge of slab to rebar.

I've looked at thousands of plans, and people call out a lot of things differently. Clearance is usually horizontally (to outside of concrete) and cover will be actually top clearance - same as pipe cover - the distance from top of rebar to finished surface. It's really all the same as it refers to the amount of material between the rebar and the outside surface. JMO
