Call your current insurance company and ask what the cancellation date is.

It depends on your old company's policy. Our employee's insurance ends at the end of the month that they terminate their employment.
After that they have the option for COBRA.
Some companies terminate coverage immediately with the option for COBRA.
You need to find out if you're covered. If not , you can pay for COBRA (which is probably $$$$) or you can ask the doctor how much the office visit (and any labs they want!) will be & cover it on your own.
