Even if you're making payments on the medical bills they can still be sent to collections.

Hospitals are required to give you "the patient" 150 days to negotiate payments.

Paying payments on medical bills doesn't mean they'll be kept out of collections so unpaid medical bills even though you're making payments can hurt your credit rating even if you're paying payments.
