More details to this question:
My mother was 61 years old when she passed away. She had no insurance. I was wondering if medicaid will pay for or partially pay for the medical bills incurred during her stay? We did start the application process for medicaid while she was still in the hospital. Thank You.

Assuming that she met the eligibility criteria while she was still alive, Medicaid should continue to process the application even if she passed away and if she was eligible at the time of the application, Medicaid should pick up the cost of her care.
