Is it possible to accidentally terminate your current insurance when starting an application through NY market place?

I really would like an answer. I posted earlier an no response and I’m kind of freaked out that I won’t have insurance until July 1st due to a glitch in NYSOH website and nobody is open for phone calls. I was Informed I was no longer eligible for essential plan and needed to find coverage by July 1st when it runs out. Today was the first day I was allowed to start looking for new coverage to prevent gaps. I clicked on the start app and decided I should wait for another time so I backed out and my enrollment page said I no longer had any insurance??? How does that make any sense? So I figured I needed to do the application and somehow got approved for Medicaid starting July 1st because I was laid off and making half of what I used to currently. Now the page does say I have Medicaid starting July 1st but nowhere does it say I’m still in enrolled in the essential plan as I should be. I’m freaked out and it’s hard waiting until Monday for answers and I can’t go over a month without insurance because of some silly glitch because I have lots of ailments that require frequent dr visits. I never chose to cancel anything.. only thing I looked up was sometimes when opening an application it can throw off the system and show that you have no insurance.. still doesn’t explain why it doesn’t show both essential plan and Medicaid through my current enrollment page now that it was submitted. No inbox messages confirming anything about termination. Am I freaking out over nothing?

NYS marketplace not showing current plan after updating to a new one starting 7/1 when it runs out??

A bit worried I lost my current insurance. I had to apply for new insurance and today was the day to start as I no longer qualify for essential plan in NY starting 7/1. I filled the application and because I had a massive paycut this year and looking for work my annual income was low enough to be accepted for Medicaid through same insurance company. What’s worrying is the site didn’t send me anything in the inbox and under current plans it only shows that I have Medicaid starting 7/1. Nothing about my current plan that I have. All customer service lines are down for the weekend and I’m afraid I may have canceled my essential plan during the application process somehow.. even though I didn’t click anything to terminate it. It even showed as enrolled in essential plan directly before starting application. Should I be worried or is this normal to only show my upcoming change to insurance but not the one I’m still enrolled in for the next month and a half?
