Is it legal for a company to cancel my insurance one month and twenty five days after i made a claim

Question Details: I had insurance through my employer and quit in may. I had an acident and had to have surgery in july and checked to see if i was covered through that insurance. the hosital told me that i was on each visit after the initial acident. When i called to make sure that i was still covered before my last appointment my insurance company told me that my insurance was canceled starting july first but was not called in until august 25th. how can that be legal?
