Help! Still covered by insurance even though I left

I left a job (that I had health benefits from) in December of last year. Right after I left I found out I was pregnant and applied for state insurance (and was accepted) assuming my health insurance through the previous employer was no longer valid and my current employer doesn't offer health benefits. At each of my prenatal appointments the paperwork showed my previous employer health insurance and my state insurance and I would tell them I'm no longer covered and to remove it and they said they would. I recently went to a different clinic and when they said the ex employer insurance I told them I no longer work there so I shouldn't have that insurance anymore. They informed me that on there end it still shows that insurance as active and that I'm still covered. How can this be? Do I need to call that company to tell them I no longer work for that employer? Will I then get in trouble and have to pay for all these appts and my upcoming delivery? What happens if I don't call, shouldn't it be up to them to know who is and is not employed?

I don't know if it matters but I live in WA state. The employer insurance is blue cross blue shield TX and the state insurance is Apple Health United Healthcare
