Yeah I actually had the same thing happen to me.. I had a bill from one of those ready clinic's, my insurance said they would pay it, but never did... I got a letter from a collection attorney right around the corner from me, I called the ready clinic and paid over the phone, they said they would "recant" the collection and it never hit my credit, I even called the collection attorney up and asked if it would impact and they said no.
