It may.

There is no way to tell what the repercussions will be. If the company (assuming that it is a collection agency and not the original creditor) is willing to take your payment and not update the now non-existant credit listing, then it may have no effect, except to clear your conscience. If it is an original creditor, like a credit card company; their processes of reporting and updating bureaus are so fragmented and automated, they may not be aware of, or able to control, the reporting of information to the bureaus. A paid collection with a recently reported date MAY find its way back onto your credit and impact your credit scores. Technically, the date the account was paid is NOT the date of last activity. However, this error is a common occurence and may happen in your case.

When a patient account is turned over to a collection agency what adjustment is posted to the account?

When a patient account is turned over to a collection agency, an adjustment is typically posted to reflect the transfer of the account. This adjustment may involve writing off the balance as uncollectible or marking it as "sent to collections." The specific accounting entry depends on the organization's policies, but it generally reduces the accounts receivable balance and may record a corresponding expense.

There is no "minimum payment" really. Any payment you send will be applied to your balance, however, most collection agencies will only agree to a payment arrangement if it meets their schedule to be paid within a certain time frame. If you are paying less collection activity would continue on your account.
