Hospital Inpatient care (IPD) requires that you have a medical problem that is serious enough for a doctor to admit you into the hospital for an overnight stay. (Some insurance companies allow you to be released after 6 hours; others require you to stay longer. In any case, the insurance company pays for a full overnight stay.)
Hospital Outpatient care (OPD) is optional with most insurance policies. OPD allows you to walk into the hospital and visit with a doctor for any medical reason, no matter how minor. Because of this ease of use, OPD tends to be more costly for benefit it provides. For this reason, and because of the low cost of doctor visits in Thailand, most insureds choose not to take this option.

Furthermore, it can be linked to a major condition that you have suffered in the past or currently suffering. This includes conditions such as asthma, high blood pressure, heart diseases, mental illness. It’s not covered.
