Does a medical bill less than 100 that is turned over to collections and hit as a delinquency lower your credit score significantly and if so once I pay it will my score go right back up?

It will not lower your credit score significantly, but the damage will not be repaired immediatly. If you pay back the bill and garner no more outstanding debts, then your score will rise back to it's original level.

How can you remove a delinquency on your credit report?
Initially, it's not possible unless the delinquency was placed there in error. If the delinquency was placed there correctly, then you PROBABLY have no other option than to wait 7 years from the date of the FIRST delinquency, before it went to collections. HOWEVER, calling the creditor has worked for some people, although once your balance or settlement has been paid, they have less incentive to work with you. Still, it's worth a shot. When you do this you MUST ask the creditor to send you a letter stating that your delinquency has been removed from your report. This is important because you need this letter to submit to the three Credit Bureaus (TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian) so that it's official that your report has been adjusted accordingly. I hope this helps you. Good Luck!
