Do doctors care when you became covered by insurance?

I lost my insurance from my old job on January 1 and naturally 3 days later I herniated a disk. I haven’t gone to a doctor yet but did get new insurance which becomes effective on February 1

If I go to a doctor the first week of Feb, do I need to lie about the date my injury/pain started?

I’ve heard that if you were injured while uninsured the insurance won’t cover anything.

Idk how any of this stuff works i literally never go to the doctor (I know, bad) and thankfully have never been injured before
