When you apply for the Thai Pass, the authorisation process don't know or care whether you will enter with a long term visa, tourist visa, visa exemption or anything else. There is no difference in the TP requirements for these categories.
I went through the steps to apply for the insurance and, once it is declared that you are entering on a non-imm "O" visa, you are not eligible for the tourist insurance. The insurance that is offered is age limited.

Go to the insurance site referenced above and try it for yourself.

This is a big issue right now for elderly retirees and we have yet to find a solution.
