In-patients are patients currently staying at the hospital to be treated.
An out-patient can be treated at the hospital, but won't necessarily stay there and be admitted.
outpatient means the patient goes home the same day of surgery. inpatient means the patient stays in the hospital.
Outpatient care is performed in a clinic or hospital and does not require an overnight stay. Inpatient care requires the patient be admitted to the hospital where they are monitored 24 hours a day.
The word "inpatient" is a noun that means a patient who resides in hospital while under treatment. The word "inpatient" can be hyphenated as "in-patient" to avoid confusion with the adjective "impatient". However, the word "inpatient" has three syllables and does not need a hyphen.
Inpatient surgery bills are likely to cost more because the patient is required to stay one or more nights in the care of the hospital, meaning they are required to provide food, shelter, and all the necessary equipment and medications to keep the patient in optimal health. Outpatient surgery...you're in and you're out the same day so the hospital isn't spending as much money for your healthcare.
