Checking my last day of health coverage - what worked for you?

I was told my coverage ends on my last day, but the letter says the end of the month. I do not want to be surprised by a bill. What should I do about appointments?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Dental and vision sometimes end on a different date from medical. Mine did.
