Deceased spouse's medical bills

[XanaDUer2]

Anyone here, sadly, had to pay the hospital bills of a deceased spouse? Is it the responsibility to pay bills, say, for long-term ICU, hospice, etc?. Experiences?

1. I believe it depends on what state you live in.

I didn’t have to here on FL but I didn’t know at the time so I paid them. It was only a few hundred for me anyway because my husband died so quickly.
I am very sorry for your losss. 😞

2. Oh thank you

I'm sorry for your loss, and i hope your spouse didn't suffer.

No one died, I'm just asking for informational reasons.

3. Hospice is fully paid for by Medicare, if you're at that stage of life.
