question about kaiser insurance overlap with Medi-Cal

I just gave my notice at work and will be losing my work insurance coverage with Kaiser. Luckily I was approved for Medi-Cal Kaiser insurance. My work-sponsored insurance with Kaiser will be coming to an end around the 17th of August. My Medi-Cal Kaiser insurance is supposed to begin on August 1st, giving about a 17-day overlap. I am worried about outright canceling my soon-to-end work insurance because I am recovering from an intense injury/surgery, and need my physical therapy, but I am worried that if I don't cancel my work insurance by the time my Medi-Cal starts that I'll go to an appointment and Medi-Cal will terminate my coverage. Basically, I am super worried that I'll have a health coverage gap while I'm still in such a vulnerable place with my health. Anyone who has had a similar experience or knows how this works please help me by letting me know!!! 🙂
