The estate is set up in Florida to be responsible for paying any bills. One of the primary reasons for setting up an estate is to liquidate any debt. If there are no heirs, the state will appoint an executor, the debts will be settled. If there is anything left over, the state will get it.

A billpayer is a person who pays bills, especially someone who pays telephone bills, sometimes on behalf of someone else.
Secondary: a policy that pays the provider's leftover medical bills. Some might still exclude the payment toward bills assigned to meet the primary policy's deductibles or copayments so you have to ask. This happens for instance if a husband or wife covers their spouse on their insurance but he/she also participates in their employer's plan. The spouse's coverage would pay the bills after their own medical plan paid.
Bills are paid from the estate of the deceased.
Outstanding Bills
That is the purpose of Life Insurance, to pay those bills and the cost of a funeral.
If you are a disabled widow age 50 or older you may be able to receive benefits off your spouse’s (or former spouse’s) Social Security record. If your spouse or former spouse has recently passed away you should notify Social Security as soon as possible. Contact the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213.
Your answer can only be that the non-titled spouse is paying assessments.
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.

Yes, especially if your spouse pays towards the insurance benefits out of his/her check.
