The estate of the deceased pays the bills. The estate is required to advertise for debts and bills to find the full extend of what is owed to all creditors. Once that is resolved, the remainder is divided up according to the will or the intestacy laws.

The question as written seems unclear. However, if the gist of it is whether a third party (other than an insurer) is responsible for a medical debt incurred by a person who has died, the general answer is "no" unless that person has agreed in writing to pay it (in effect, to guaranty it).

The law of the state in which the deceased lived at the time of death or when medical care was rendered may provide for certain exceptions to that general rule, so it is best to check.
