thanks for sharing bro.

collection ki velte credit history impact avaleda? @Newporagadu

Collection agency ki vellinappudu impact avvadu. If negotiations fail and you do not pay .. then they will report to credit bureau's .. its impacted then.

Good, now onwards if you get any bill don’t panic wait for one year let it go to collections and then clear it with reduced amount

No , I once went into emergency suspecting something but discharged overnight saying nothing happened, just oka saline bottle petti 4K bill esadu. Hospital gadini adigithe insurance ledhu ante 25 percent istha single payment cheyyi anandu, chesa but donga na koduku sent the 25 percent amount to collections. So never believe if hospital says they give discounts , coz giving discount is out of their league for hospital employees. 
 

ade collections ki velthe you can do beram. So wait for one year for any bill, don’t pay it. Initially I did that mistake and paid many bills without knowing that concept

hospital billing department gave discount.

asked for itemized bill first.

and then called their billing number and asked if they could provide discount so they offered 25%
