I wouldn't pay it. As of now, medical debt can't hurt your credit score. When they send it to collectors, just deny the debt is yours. Refuse to give the collectors any info and don't accept the debt.

Do you have any sources?

I tried to double check and all i found is that:

The three nationwide credit reporting agencies will generally not report medical debt on your credit report until the debt has been unpaid for at least 180 days (about six months).

I am preparing a pamphlet for getting and navigating US healthcare and that would be an amazing addition.

Apparently, 15 states prohibit it from hitting your credit. I was under the impression that it was nationwide.

By chance do you have a source to this?

It was a law from Biden that went into effect in January but trump had vacated in July, all this year. There's a lot of confusion on this because of the flip flop.
