I have WR life, very affordable expat medical backed by Loyds of London, paid 100,000 baht for my recent hospitalization 2 nights at Bangkok Pattaya, not sure about the outpatient visa requirements. I only have impatient. Contact Mike, America speaks English tell him Paul Rainwater sent you:

Have you considered getting the non-O visa instead as it doesn't require the mandatory insurance (you can then get an insurance policy of your choice instead). Apologies if you have chosen the non-OA for a specific reason.

Jakob Raschle Lynnette is correct, you must have applied for the wrong visa. The non-O does not require insurance and can be applied for anywhere.
