It depends. Life insurance is non-taxable and non-attachable. If the policy is paid directly to beneficiaries not affiliated with the deceased's estate then probably not. However, after the proceeds are paid it just becomes money and if those proceeds are part of the estate, then they probably can.

It also depends on the laws of the State, so I would check with a lawyer if it was a major concern.

Can you sue a health insurance company for failure to pay a claim which results in damage to a credit score?

From a medical provider POV, you are ultimately responsible for your medical bills. You have the contract with the health insurance company, not the provider. Most offices bill your insurance as a courtesy, knowing they will take a writeoff. If the insurance did not pay, there was a reason given on your EOB, and it is your responsibility to find out why. Most offices are more than willing to take payments, collections is a last resort.
