Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Indiana

My Doctor had me get 2 tests done from a lab out of state. The lab only provided one of the requested tests. I signed a paper saying I would pay like 178$ which they would submit the remainder to insurance. When I only got one of the test results, I called and asked if there would be a prorated cost for only getting the one result. They told me they would look into it and get back to me. I then received a bill for over $2000! When I called them, they said I didn't submit the original fee in time and there was nothing they could do. I have begun getting letters from a collection agency. I have written and called but no one seems to help. I don't know if this can be submitted against my credit or what they can do to me. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
