Out-Patient Department (OPD)/Treatment

Out-Patient Department (OPD) or treatment refers to medical treatment or consultation that does not require admission to a hospital. This could include visits to a doctor's clinic or medical centre, diagnostic tests, and medical procedures.

OPD coverage often includes reimbursement for expenses such as:

  • Consultation fees
  • Diagnostic tests
  • Medication
  • Minor surgical procedures

It’s important to read the policy documents carefully to understand the extent of coverage. Also, evaluate the cost and benefits of the OPD coverage before purchasing a health insurance policy, and to choose a policy that provides adequate coverage for the medical needs of the policyholder.
