If the deceased left an estate the medical bills along with all other debts will be handled according to the state probate laws. If the deceased left no assets that can be used to pay debts, the debts become null and void. Surviving family members are not responsible for medical bills unless they signed an agreement with the hospital, physician(s) or care facility. The one exception is if the deceased left a spouse and the married couple resided in a community property state. Although in several CP states such laws will not apply to the payment medical bills directly connected to the death of of a spouse.

Medicaid will only go back three months prior to when you started receiving it. FOR EXAMPLE: If you have a doctor or hospital bill from December of 2009, and then start receiving Medicaid in March of 2010, then yes, Medicaid would pay for the December bill. BUT, had you gone to the doctor in November, and then received Medicaid the following March, that bill would not be covered because they will only go back three months.
