So I was basically getting prescriptions and going went on a doctors visit retroactively.
Now apparently everyone in my family is about to get bumped off the coverage plan, though I think part of that is due to my Dad getting a new job. I mean it's obvious why I can't be covered anymore since I'm no longer a student but I was kind of surprised to see my Mother get kicked off the plan to.

You were probably under COBRA, Schneed can give you the details about COBRA if necessary. In a nutshell, it's a gov't mandated that you can continue med coverage if you lose your job or get laid off. I think it only lasts for 18 months and you pay the premiums 100%.
As soon as your Dad is eligible for insurance under his new company, I'm sure your Mom will be covered.
