Legal Question in Insurance Law in Indiana

My ex husband passed away on 02/06/22. At the time of death he had 10,000.00 in a savings account. Before his death he told his brother (POA) he wanted his daughters to have that money. They are being told that since he was on Medicaid that money has to go to towards the hospital bill. Is that correct? Thank you
