Yes, but there are a lot of variables.
Just as if one party in a union obtained a vehicle lease without the other party's liability stated in the contract - If one party had their own medical coverage (separate from the other party - like two different employer plans) - there is some segmentation of liability. Depending on the magnitude of expenses, and loss of income associated with such an event - The debt will either be written-off, a judgment could be filed against the estate or the Survivor could declare insolvency.
If there is no debt collection efforts under-way, the best advice is to determine if you want to (and can afford) to pay; Determine if a settlement (reduced amount) is acceptable; Ignore the debt and see if they file judgment, or file bankruptcy.
