I was fully covered by a health plan, i had an injury that was covered
by the plan, the doctor needs to see me to take a look at the injury,
but i am no longer covered by the plan or any plan. can i go to the
plan and claim that this injury is still covered by the plan?

I wouldn't think so. Once you're no longer covered, you're no longer
covered. Unless you have a very, very unusual insurance company. Good
luck.

If you recently lost coverage from or through your employer and the coverage
because you lost or otherwise left your job in the last so many days, you
have about some many days to renew the policy (if the company has more than
a certain number of employees).
I think so many days is 60, but you can find out by searching for COPPA and
health insurance on the web.

Try COBRA instead.

Right. COPPA are the laws that protect kids on the internet. COBRA is
correct. Oopsie.
