Will my application for a Non-O visa be affected if my health insurance is from a UK insurer rather than a Thai one?

I am in UK and in the process of submitting an application for a Non-O, single entry visa based on over 50 retirement with state pension. I have uploaded the required documents but have query on Para 6 of the application: 'Health insurance issued by Thai insurer with outpatient benefit of 40000 THB and inpatient benefit of not less than 400000 THB' . My insurer provides way in excess of this but is from UK, not Thailand Is this a problem? Has anyone any experience of using a non-Thai insurer, or will my application bounce?

Update: Just received my visa, took 5 days, incl weekend. No issues with insurance at all.

Answer summary

The user is applying for a Non-O visa in the UK based on retirement and questions the acceptability of their UK health insurance, which exceeds the specified benefits but is not from a Thai insurer. They later share an update that their visa was granted without any issues related to insurance.
