This is correct as Pinkflower 17 indicates. After working in medical billing, as long as you pay something, you are showing good faith, it cannot go to collections, or harm your credit. Would recommend you contact them to set up a smaller payment. Hang in there.

For an amount that small, they may even waive a portion of it, again, depending on your income.
