TLDR : Answer Summary

Outpatient benefits refer to medical care received without being admitted to a hospital, while inpatient benefits apply when a patient is hospitalized for one or more nights. This distinction is important in understanding health insurance requirements.

That's the health insurance requirements.

Outpatient = seeing a doctor.

Inpatient = being admitted to a hospital for multiple nights.

Inpatient is where you are hospitalised and stay over night or longer. Outpatient is where you receive treatment but do not stay in the hospital.
